According to data from the Passenger Transport Association, the cumulative global automobile sales volume from January to September 2026 was 72.52 million units. By country, China sold 23.27 million vehicles, 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; and 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.
