Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report is that the electric vehicle industry is seeing a trend towards mass-market growth while high-end brands are expected to realize growth potential. By Q2 2026, the pressure on mass-market brands is anticipated to ease, while high-end brands are expected to grow throughout the year. The electric vehicle sector is currently undervalued, with recommendations to focus on Yadea Holdings (01585), Aima Technology (603529.SH), and Ninebot (689009.SH) [1] - The consumption upgrade in the two-wheeler market is transitioning from rural areas to urban centers, moving from durable goods to premium products. The industry has experienced rapid expansion from 2005 to 2013, followed by a slowdown and the establishment of market dynamics from 2014 to 2018. The period from 2019 to 2024 is characterized by national standard reforms that drive high sales through stock replacement, leading to a new round of capital expenditure expansion among industry leaders [1] - The current penetration rate of electric two-wheelers in urban areas has reached a high level, with significant variance in ownership across new first-tier cities. Assuming similar consumption levels and road conditions, there is considerable room for high-end two-wheelers to penetrate the market. With a total penetration rate of 45% for first-tier and new first-tier cities, the annual sales increment for the high-end market is estimated to be around 6.6 million units [2] Group 2 - Ninebot's success in the high-end market is attributed to its focus on product design and user experience, particularly in smart features. The company has also built its brand and distribution channels effectively, creating a market perception that enhances profitability and facilitates channel expansion [3] - The new national standards are seen as the starting point for a new round of industry reshuffling. In the short term, brand differentiation may not be significant, but long-term success will depend on scale and product strength. Leading brands like Yadea and Aima are expected to benefit from economies of scale, while high-end brands like Ninebot will need to focus on growth and product performance [4]
