However, in recent years, our dominant position in global production has not only been limited to toys, textiles, and even laptops and smart phones, but has been moving towards automobiles, which are the crown jewel of the industrial sector.

According to authoritative media reports, over the past decade, China's annual production and sales of new energy vehicles have increased from the thousand level to the tens of millions level. The products have been exported to 70+ countries and regions，accounting for over 60% of the world's share，making it a "glorious card" of Chinese manufacturing.

From July 2025 to the end of July，according to the car export data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers，China's car exports continued to grow at a high rate. Among them，new energy vehicles became the core driving force. Below is the 2025-2025 July production and export ranking list of top 20 manufacturers compiled by Yiche. Next, we will conduct a detailed analysis based on this list.

Chery holds the first place，but BYD is coming at a fierce pace.

In 2024，Chery became the top domestic exporter. Relevant data shows that in 2024， Chery exported 11，445，880 vehicles，an increase of 21.4% year-on-year， and ranked first in China's brand passenger car exports for 22 consecutive years. It's quite impressive that being able to export one million vehicles per year is a result that many domestic car manufacturers envy.

This year，from July to the end of July,Chery's export momentum remained strong. At a glance，its export volume in the first seven months was 662，903 units，achieving a 6.9% growth year-on-year. If there are no unexpected circumstances，Chery's export volume is expected to exceed 1.2 million units this year，continuing to lead the exports of domestic car brands.

The second place is BYD. It's undeniable that BYD's volume is truly huge. Because its export volume in the first seven months reached an astonishing 5，214，620 units， an increase of 123.4% year-on-year，equivalent to doubling and more.

In the first quarter of 2025，BYD became the top brand in sales in Hong Kong and Singapore； in Brazil，Italy，Thailand，and Australia，BYD was the leader in new energy vehicle sales in the first quarter；in the UK，BYD's sales in the first quarter showed the highest growth rate both in terms of both month-on-month and year-on-year.

If this trend continues, BYD may truly become the undisputed champion of new energy vehicles globally, further widening the gap with Tesla.

【Conclusion】 The Chinese automotive industry is reshaping the global market pattern at an unprecedented speed. From Chery's steady lead， BYD's rapid rise， to Geely and Great Wall's close pursuit， Chinese car manufacturers not only win by scale，but also gain话语权 through technological innovation and global strategies. The explosive growth of new energy vehicles has become the core engine driving China from a "manufacturing giant" to a "smart manufacturing powerhouse"，and the breakthrough and challenges in the European market have demonstrated the depth and complexity of China's globalization.
