China Auto Industry Faces Crisis of Overcapacity as Demand Slows
China's automotive sector is in trouble as production has outpaced sales for months. Massive overcapacity, especially in EVs and lesser-known marques, has led to brand-new vehicles piling up in lots or being exported as ‘used.’ Many dealers are selling at losses just to clear inventory and meet manufacturer targets. The crisis is rooted in aggressive production subsidies, local incentives, and policy pressure. Analysts expect many smaller brands to exit or consolidate by 2030 as profitability remains elusive.
