Yesterday, I observed that BYD’s share of the Chinese language auto market actually had grown so much over the course of the 12 months, and I produced an article that includes month-to-month market share charts to visualise that. Within the feedback, a reader, Mike Sarcione, famous, “Zach didn’t include Tesla’s Chinese market share in his recent article, but that would be good FYI.” I imagine that was referencing my article from the day earlier than, “Is Tesla On Track for Sales Growth (or Sales Decline) in 2024?.” It was an incredible suggestion, so right here we’re.

On this case, I’m including one extra chart on prime of the 2 varieties of charts I created for BYD. Along with charts on Tesla’s share of the Chinese language auto market and Tesla’s share of the Chinese language NEV market, I’m additionally together with a chart displaying Tesla’s month-to-month gross sales in China. Let’s get into it.

Initially, simply taking a look at Tesla’s month-to-month gross sales in China, we are able to see that the primary two months of the 12 months (which embody the Chinese language New Yr, a really down interval for auto gross sales) have been significantly weak months. March confirmed a reasonably sturdy rebound, however then the corporate had a reasonably weak interval till August. General, as talked about within the aforementioned Tesla-focused article, the corporate’s gross sales in China have been down 12 months over 12 months via the primary 8 months of the 12 months. (Additionally, whereas July appears to be like like a down month within the chart above, Tesla’s gross sales have been really up 47% 12 months over 12 months; and whereas August appears to be like like a a lot better month, Tesla’s gross sales have been really down 2% 12 months over 12 months.)

However how did these ups and downs relate to the market general within the first 8 months of the 12 months? I’m glad you requested. Let’s take a look.

Effectively, we’ve obtained Tesla’s quarterly up and down traits which were frequent on the firm for the reason that starting. That results in what appear to be sturdy fluctuations. Nevertheless, general, the vary is from 1.3% of the Chinese language auto market to 2.6%. Normally, we are able to that Tesla is hovering at round 2% of the Chinese language auto market.

Taking a look at Tesla’s share of the brand new vitality automobile (NEV) market, which incorporates each full battery-electric autos (BEVs) and plugin hybrids (PHEVs), it’s an identical story. Although, Tesla clearly did higher within the first quarter. On common, the corporate had 6.6% of the Chinese language NEV market within the first 8 months of the 12 months.

Briefly, although, I don’t see any sturdy traits with regard to Tesla gross sales or market share in China. That’s a transparent distinction to BYD, which has seen its share of the Chinese language auto market rise fairly steadily all through 2024.

There’s not such a powerful development when taking a look at BYD’s share of the Chinese language NEV market. I take that to imply that the NEV market is rising quick and hyper-competitive, which it’s. There’s lots of competitors on the NEV market. BYD does dominate it, nevertheless it’s really a continuing problem to simply preserve market share — as Tesla’s third chart above exhibits very nicely.
