China’s used car exports have undergone tremendous growth in recent years, gradually taking the lead in the global market. The country’s steady, rapid expansion of used car sales into emerging markets is plain for all the world to see. Wherever people live and travel, you will find Chinese automotive brands.
Major Chinese passenger vehicle brands including BYD, Great Wall and Chery have gained a strong presence across numerous emerging markets, spanning Southeast Asia, South Africa, South America and the Middle East.
Take South Africa as an example. Chinese auto brands are rapidly expanding their footprint in cities nationwide at an impressive pace, winning over huge numbers of young consumers. Chinese vehicles now account for roughly 10% of South Africa’s automobile market, with affordability being the top reason young buyers opt for them. For instance, a gasoline-powered Volkswagen model sells for $27,500 in South Africa, while a comparable Great Wall model costs only $25,000. This significant price gap drives local shoppers to favor Chinese brands.
China boasts a highly sophisticated industrial system, with its manufacturing output ranking first globally for more than a decade running. This is especially evident in complex industries such as automobile manufacturing, supported by a fully integrated supply chain covering raw materials, production links and downstream market services.
