Chinese cars in Europe began to sell better than Korean ones

In December 2025, the share of Chinese auto brands in the market in this region exceeded 9.5%. Thus, the result of Chinese companies was higher than that of South Korean ones.

The rapid growth in the share of Chinese brands is explained by increased sales of hybrid and electric cars. The Chinese automobile industry specializes in them and offers competitive prices.

Chinese brands overtook South Korean rivals including Kia for the first time in the quarter, capturing 9.5% of the European auto market in December, according to research firm Dataforce. BYD and other companies are poised to further strengthen their positions as trade barriers fall and Chinese export growth accelerates,” Bloomberg noted.

In December 2025, the products of Chinese brands accounted for 16% of the European electric vehicle market; at the end of 2025, the share of Chinese brands in this market segment was 11% – twice as much as in 2024. In particular, Leapmotor and Chery have significantly increased their volumes. BYD and MG remain the leaders.
