Chinese car brands' growth masks weakening Australian market
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 7 Oct, 23:24 · Archive
BYD and Geely's rapid growth is skewing overall new-car sales upwards in Australia.
New-car sales in Australia show marginal growth overall, but this increase is driven primarily by BYD and Geely, two Chinese car manufacturers experiencing rapid expansion. The growth of these two brands is skewing sales reporting upwards, according to reports.
The underlying Australian auto market is weakening, and the headline sales growth masks this broader decline. The strong performance of BYD and Geely alone is sufficient to produce the marginal increase in total new-car sales figures.
