Domestic Cars Favored by Foreign Buyers! BYD Tops Global New Energy Vehicle Sales in Multiple Markets in First Half of the Year

As of August 4th, it was reported that in the first half of 2025, BYD's cumulative car sales reached 2.146 million units, maintaining its position as the global leader in new energy vehicle sales.

Unlike previous years, with BYD expanding its presence in overseas markets, the company’s overseas sales in the first half of the year have been remarkable, contributing more than 470,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 132%. This figure has already surpassed BYD’s total overseas sales for the entire year of 2024.

Moreover, in multiple overseas markets, BYD has surpassed Tesla to become the leading new energy vehicle brand.

For example, in the European market, BYD's new energy vehicle sales in Spain exceeded 10,000 units in the first half of the year, with a growth rate of 756.1% and a market share of 9.7%.

In the first half of the year, more than 9,000 new energy vehicles were registered in the Italian market, representing a 140% quarter-on-quarter increase and pushing the market share above 10%. Models such as the Song PLUS DM-i continue to be popular.

In the American market, BYD's performance in Brazil is particularly outstanding. After setting an annual sales record of 76,000 vehicles in 2024, it continued to be the top seller of new energy vehicles in Brazil in the first half of 2025, with sales reaching 47,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 45%. This figure is more than twice the combined total of the second to tenth places.

In the Asia-Pacific region, Thailand has long been dominated by Japanese brands, but BYD successfully broke through this year, becoming the top seller in both new energy vehicles and pure electric vehicles in the first half of the year, capturing a 35% market share in the pure electric segment.

In Singapore, BYD has been the top seller of new energy passenger vehicles for 21 consecutive months and became the passenger vehicle sales champion in the first half of 2025 with a market share of 19.5%.

In the Indonesian market, BYD's sales reached 2.3 times that of the second-place competitor. In the Hong Kong market, sales in the first half of the year were nearly 5,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 22.5%, ranking first in market growth.

BYD's globalization journey demonstrates that Chinese automobile brands are gradually reshaping the global automotive industry landscape through continuous technological innovation and deep market cultivation.
