Cui Dongshu published an article saying that according to World Automobile Organization statistics, global automobile production continues to grow, reaching 96.89 million units in 2025, an increase of 6% over 91.77 million units in 2024, and China accounts for 35.4% of the world's production share. From January to September 2026, the world's automobile sales volume was 72.52 million units, up 3% year on year; of these, the monthly sales volume in September was 8.74 million units, up only 2% year on year, up 12.4% month on month, and the growth momentum of the global car market was weak. From January to September 2026, the cumulative global automobile sales volume was 72.52 million units. By country, China sold 23.27 million units, with a share of 32.1%, a marked drop from 35.4% in 2025; the US sold 12.3 million units, with a share of 17.0%, a slight decline; India performed well, increasing its share to 6.7%, becoming a highlight of growth. Judging from changes in share over the years, China's share of the world continued to rise from 2022 to 2025, and reached a phased high in 2025. The overall share of major European countries has been declining steadily, while the share of emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia has remained stable. The decline in sales volume in the Chinese market in the first 9 months of 2026 is the core reason for changes in global share. The rapid growth in emerging markets such as India has to some extent hedged the growth pressure of the Chinese and US markets and supported the global car market to maintain a slight positive growth. From east to west, with the exception of Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Suzuki, and Tata, the share of other international brands declined sharply in 2026. Compared to 2019, China's own brands have increased their overall share of the world. Geely, BYD, Chery, SAIC, Changan, etc. performed well independently. The development of electrification has also led to the gradual decline of some international car companies. In addition to favorable factors in the Indian market such as Suzuki, the shares of other European and American international brands have declined significantly across the board.
