Exploring China's Automotive Industry: Top Brands, Local Manufacturing, and Wholesale Car Accessories

China's automotive industry is massive and has become prominent in recent years. Attend any auto trade show like the 2024 Paris Motor Show to witness a strong presence from Chinese car manufacturers.

But are Chinese-manufactured vehicles worth purchasing, especially with pickier US consumers accustomed to American, European, and Japanese brands? Yes. Even though Chinese vehicle brands are not currently available in the US, most Millenials and Gen Z consumers would consider purchasing a car from China. These younger consumers have become accustomed to quality and innovative products from China, such as laptops, mobile devices, and consumer electronics.

Moreover, with a greater demand for environmentally friendly solutions, China is leading the way with affordable electric vehicles (EVs). While all this is impressive, let's delve deeper into China's automotive industry and reveal some phenomenal car audio and accessories from TVCMALL.

 

What cars does China make?

 

China makes all types of cars, including compacts, hatchbacks, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), sedans, supercars, pickup trucks, and vans. As mentioned earlier, China has made headway with EVs but still manufactures many hybrid and combustion engine-powered cars. China boasts the largest car industry on earth, with hundreds of manufacturers. The ownership structure of these manufacturers varies, typically taking the following forms:

● State-owned

● Privately owned

● Foreign-owned

● Joint Ventures (JVs), usually between local and foreign-owned car manufacturers

 

What cars are built in China?

 

Due to the prevalence of JVs, many notable American and European car brands are built in China. In 2013, Chinese car brand Geely partnered with the Swedish car manufacturer Volvo to build plants in Chengdu and Daqing. Interestingly, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group also happens to be the parent company of Volvo. The partnership proved fruitful, with several models like the Volvo C40, XC40, XC60, EX30, and S60 released in foreign markets.

However, one of the biggest wins for the Chinese automotive industry is Elon Musk's decision to establish Gigafactory Shanghai in 2018. The massive factory has 20,000 workers and builds the incredibly popular Tesla Model 3 and Model Y EVs. These Chinese-made Tesla models have reached consumers in both domestic and foreign markets with much fanfare.

BMW, Citroen, and Mini also manufacture several of their models in China. Yet, Volkswagen remains the European car manufacturer with the strongest presence in China, with a whopping 39 plants. Here, Volkswagen manufactures many of its key models, including the Polo, Passat, and Tiguan.
