All major markets around the world will be impacted one way or another by the announcements made in Beijing over the next couple of weeks. We start below with John Zengs take on Chinas next-generation smart cars.
Can Chinas tech giants succeed where Apple failed? From electrification to intelligence
The China auto market is booming. In 2023, domestic passenger car sales increased by 4.5% to 22.5 million units, and exports exceeded 4 million for the first timesurpassing Japan to become the worlds largest exporter. The growing power of local automakers overseas is placing increasing pressure on international brands worldwide, leaving some international brand manufacturers wondering how to respond. If any action is to be taken, it should be done quickly, as we expect the China auto industry will maintain its high growth rate this year, with Q1 domestic increasing by 6% year-on-year and Q1 exports increasing by 34% to 1.09 million units.
So, what are the drivers? Well, one point to note is that March saw the official launch of Xiaomi SU7. This marked a competitive shift within Chinas passenger car market from electrification to intelligence. The Internet of Everything ecosystem brought by Xiaomi Auto has set a very high entry threshold for other car manufacturers. At present, Huawei and Xiaomi have become the leading autonomous vehicle players in the Chinese market. Huawei has set a clear goal of achieving Level 4 and Level 5 autonomous driving by 2025 and 2030, respectively. Relevant data shows that in 2023, the penetration rate of L2 assisted driving in the Chinese market has exceeded 35%.

From the perspective of the global automotive industry, only in the Chinese auto market can internet giants successfully enter the automotive industry and quickly seize their right to speak. In Europe and the US, such giants are largely abandoning their plans to build, making it possible for the Chinese market to grow into a smart car market independent to the rest of the world. Consequently, the automotive supply chain will be quickly reshaped.
