China: sharp rise in automobile exports and logistics growth

On November 3, 2026, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) reports that automotive product exports reached $233.03 billion in the first nine months, up 35.1%, while sector trade amounted to $33.44 billion in September, up 34.3% year-on-year and 9.3% month-on-month. Chinese vehicles are being loaded at the port of Lianyungang for Ecuador, and the Yueqing Bay port in Wenzhou inaugurates a ro-ro service with a first departure of more than 2,800 vehicles to the Middle East. In the first nine months, the port of Ningbo exported more than 490,000 vehicles, over 70% of them new energy vehicles, and four Chinese automakers exceeded 100,000 overseas sales in October. Automakers are seeking to secure their own maritime transport capacity, while the rise in exports confronts them with local presence requirements and a strengthening of their customer service abroad.
