Hello everyone, I'm the SEO & Content Lead at Sinovcle Global. 

On November 26, local time, Sergey Tselikov from the Russian analysis agency Autostat stated that China has once again become the primary driver of global demand, accounting for nearly 30% of global sales in the first ten months of 2025.

Tselikov pointed out that according to Autostat data, global car sales in October reached 8.2 million units. Since the beginning of 2025, 75 million cars have been sold, a 4.7% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Global light vehicle sales in October also stood at 8.2 million units.

Writing on a social platform, Tselikov noted that China remains the engine of global market growth, accounting for nearly 30% of global demand. Within ten months, China sold 21.8 million passenger cars, a 10.7% increase year-on-year.

Tselikov indicated that passenger car sales growth in the United States during the first ten months of 2025 was much more moderate at 3.8% (13.55 million units), while Europe saw almost no growth, with a mere 0.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024 (11.2 million units).

Tselikov stated that from January to October, U.S. passenger car sales grew 3.8% to 13.55 million units, giving the U.S. an 18% share of the global market. European sales reached 11.2 million units, a 0.1% increase compared to 2024.

The analysis company GlobalData forecasts that global car sales will reach 92 million units in 2025, a 3.7% increase from 2024 (88.8 million units).

According to Autostat data, Russia sold 1.06 million passenger cars in the first ten months of 2025, a 20% decrease year-on-year. The forecast for the full year 2025 predicts national sales will reach 1.3 million units, a 17% decline compared to 2024.

Reportedly, the growth of China's automobile industry results from the combined effects of forward-looking policy planning, continuous technological breakthroughs, a resilient supply chain, a global vision, and vibrant domestic demand. China possesses the world's most complete industrial system, covering 41 major industrial categories and 666 sub-categories, forming a closed-loop chain from battery materials to complete vehicle manufacturing, with cluster effects enhancing risk resistance. Looking ahead, with the proliferation of intelligent technologies and the deepening of "brand globalization," China's auto industry is poised to transition from "scale leadership" to a new phase of "technology leadership" and "ecosystem leadership".
