Growth in Chinese auto exports could slow to 10% next year, new data showed, amid rising protectionism in overseas markets. Growth in Chinese auto exports could slow to 10% next year, new data showed Monday, as the country’s carmakers feel the effects of rising protectionism in overseas markets. The EU, Brazil, and Thailand are instituting higher trade barriers to combat what the head of China’s Passenger Car Association described as this year’s “ supercharged ” export growth; overseas shipments grew 75% in the first 10 months of 2025, as the industry reckons with plummeting domestic sales. China’s explosion in auto exports shouldn’t be mistaken for a sectoral boom, a Council on Foreign Relations expert wrote, as overall production remains “essentially flat” and “intense domestic competition is destroying the profitability of firms that don’t export.”
