China: sharp rise in car exports and logistical structuring

On November 3, 2026, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) reported that automotive product exports reached $23.303 billion over the first nine months, an increase of 35.1%. Foreign trade in automotive products amounted to $3.344 billion in September, up 34.3% year-on-year and 9.3% month-on-month. On the same day, China's export auto industry was described as evolving from selling products to providing services covering the entire vehicle lifecycle, while manufacturers seek to secure their own maritime transport capacities. Four Chinese automakers exceeded 100,000 overseas sales in October, with batches of vehicles shipped to Ecuador via the port of Lianyungang and to the Middle East, totaling more than 2,800 vehicles.
