This year, BYD announced its December sales volume, and its monthly sales reached a new high, reaching 34 in one fell swoop10,000 units. So far, BYD's total sales in 2023 have reached 302440,000 units, which is also a milestone for China's own brand cars, this is the first time that China's single independent brand sales exceeded 3 million, which also means that China finally has the world's top ten car brands, and has opened a grand journey to become an automobile power.
China has been the world's largest automobile producer and seller for 14 consecutive years, and the scale of automobile manufacturing industry is the world's first. The gap between China and the automobile power lies in the lack of internationally competitive automobile brands. And this is determined by the gap between the shaping of the car brand and the technical level of the car.
As a late-developing industrial country, China has a big gap with developed countries in terms of automotive technology. Although it has been catching up for decades, the gap in core technology is still very large, and it has obviously encountered a bottleneck, which has also caused China's own brand car sales to encounter a bottleneck, and no independent brand sales can exceed 2 million.
BYD's sales in 2022 will be 1.86 million units, which is growing rapidly, but it is far less significant than the significance of this year's sales exceeding 3 million units. Because the breakthrough in sales means the recognition of the market, and the recognition of the market means that the technical bottleneck has been broken, this breakthrough is more significant in the new track of new energy vehicles, because new energy vehicles are still in a period of rapid growth, there is still a lot of room for improvement, so BYD can still have a large room for growth.
From the perspective of automobile brands, in fact, developing countries have a natural disadvantage, because brands are naturally related to national strength.
Everyone takes it for granted that a brand premium in a developed country is high, and a brand in a developing country naturally thinks that you are not a high-end brand.
And there is another important reason is that most of the countries with the most consumption power in the world are developed countries, and the products of developed countries are sold to developing countries from the top to the bottom of the market, which is like a bamboo, and on the contrary, developing countries expand the markets of developed countries, that is, sailing against the current, and there are many difficulties.
Canada goose can easily be sold for more than 10,000 yuan in China, but you can imagine how difficult it is for a Chinese down jacket brand to sell for 10,000 US dollars in developed countries.
Therefore, it is very difficult for products from developing countries to open up the markets of developed countries. What is beneficial to my car companies is that although China is a developing country, it is the second largest industrial country in the world in terms of comprehensive strength, and the developed economic sector is also very large.
In December this year, BYD exported 3610,000 units, and a record high, next year's export of 500,000 units should be relatively stable, which has initially opened the international market, coupled with the accumulated technical and financial advantages, BYD is inevitable to rush upward.
From the perspective of 2022, the sales volume of GM, the world's fifth-ranked car company, is 5.94 million units, and it is conservatively estimated that BYD's sales will reach more than 6 million units to sprint to the top five in the world.
According to BYD's development speed, it will be 2025 at the earliest.
