Since 2026, China's auto parts exports have maintained a steady growth momentum. Relying on the advantages of a complete industrial chain, technological upgrading breakthroughs and diversified market layout, China has taken the initiative in the global automotive industry transformation and become an important growth driver for foreign trade exports.
Data shows that China's auto parts export volume has ranked first in the world. The export volume reached 50.744 billion US dollars in 2024, and the growth momentum accelerated further in 2026. The export market presents a pattern of "deepening mature markets and breaking through emerging markets". The United States, as the largest single market, accounts for 32.23%, with strong demand in Europe, Mexico and other markets. At the same time, emerging markets such as Russia and Central Asia have shown impressive growth rates, becoming the core of new export growth.
The structure of export products has been continuously optimized, transforming from traditional advantageous products such as lightweight body parts and high-efficiency braking systems to high-end fields such as new energy three-electric components and on-board sensors. The installed capacity of power batteries accounts for nearly 70% of the world. Enterprises actively adapt to overseas compliance requirements, obtain international certifications such as ECE and NOM to help products enter overseas markets smoothly, and promote overseas localized production to effectively avoid trade barriers.
Industry insiders said that with the in-depth transformation of global automotive electrification and intelligence, Chinese auto parts enterprises will continue to strengthen technological innovation, optimize global layout, and rely on industrial chain resilience and cost-performance advantages to continuously seize global market share, promoting China's automotive industry to move towards the high end of the global value chain.
