Automotive growth pockets in a constrained world
[ad_1]
Global sales of new light vehicles have declined 12% during 2022
up to and including June, to 35.3 million units. Though
semiconductor shortages continue to constrain overall market
volumes, there are nonetheless pockets of very robust growth;
notably low emissions vehicles, and the
GreaterChina market.

In broad category terms, lower emissions types are growing
faster. The market for purely internal-combustion-engine vehicles
has shrunk by 18% this year and is being substantially outgrown by
both plug-in hybrids (up 26%) and pure battery electric vehicles
(up 72%). Around one in 12 vehicles sold globally (3.0 million
units), this year have been battery electric.

China’s BEV market is expanding at a remarkable pace. Greater
China BEV sales grew 94% in the year to June to 1.70 million units.
While China consumes 28% of the world’s new vehicle demand, the
relative size of its BEV market is greater still: Well over half
(56%) of BEVs sold globally in 2022 were in Greater China.
