YADEA(HK:01585) Xin Lang Zheng Quan·2025-09-25 09:34Core Viewpoint - The electric bicycle industry is experiencing rapid growth in the first half of 2025, driven by the end of the transition period for new national standards and nationwide trade-in subsidy policies, with significant sales increases reported by leading companies [1][5]. Industry Overview - In the first half of 2025, the national sales volume of electric two-wheelers reached 32.325 million units, a year-on-year increase of 29.5% [1]. - The market concentration is increasing as leading companies leverage their advantages in channels, technology, and products to expand market share [1]. Company Performance - Yadea Holdings reported a revenue increase of 33.11% to 19.186 billion yuan and a net profit increase of 59.5% to 1.649 billion yuan in the first half of 2025 [2][5]. - Other listed companies in the electric bicycle sector also showed positive performance, with six representative companies achieving double growth in their financial results [1][2]. Market Dynamics - The significant revenue growth for Yadea in 2025 is attributed to a low base from 2024, price reductions to clear inventory, and the impact of national trade-in subsidy policies [5][8]. - The price reduction strategy has led to some models being sold at discounts of up to 30%, making them highly attractive to consumers [5]. Challenges and Competition - Despite revenue growth, Yadea's offline stores are facing challenges due to intense price competition, with dealers reporting difficulties in profitability [3][10]. - The rapid expansion of Yadea's retail network, which has grown to over 42,000 stores, is now seen as a burden, leading to increased competition and reduced margins for dealers [12][14]. Future Outlook - The electric bicycle market is expected to enter a new development phase in 2026, with potential deceleration in growth as the driving forces behind the current surge weaken [8]. - The sustainability of Yadea's performance in maintaining high growth rates post-subsidy and price reduction phases remains uncertain [8][14].
