China's passenger car exports surge in October as domestic demand remains weak

China experienced a significant increase in car exports in October, primarily driven by electric vehicle demand. The country exported approximately 927,000 passenger vehicles, reflecting a 62.3 percent growth compared to last year. In contrast, domestic passenger vehicle sales fell to about 1.7 million units following months of decline. Analysts predict exports could exceed 10 million vehicles, while domestic sales may drop to 18.5 million in 2026.
