The NEV segment also grew, with sales of 52,100 units [2][3]. - GAC Group reported a total sales volume of 116,600 units, an 18.47% increase year-on-year, driven by significant growth in its Aion and Trumpchi brands [3]. New Energy Vehicle Startups Challenges - The nine major NEV startups collectively faced a month-on-month sales decline ranging from 21.2% to 47.0%. However, six of these companies reported year-on-year growth, indicating a mixed performance [4][5]. - Leading brands like Hongmeng Zhixing and Xiaomi Auto reported significant year-on-year growth, with Hongmeng delivering 57,900 units (up 65.6%) and Xiaomi delivering over 39,000 units (up 70%) despite month-on-month declines [5]. - NIO and Zeekr emerged as strong performers with year-on-year growth exceeding 95%, with NIO delivering 27,200 units (up 96.1%) and Zeekr delivering 23,900 units (up 99.7%) [5][6]. Market Dynamics and Future Outlook - The automotive market is experiencing a temporary downturn due to factors such as policy changes and seasonal demand fluctuations. The inventory warning index for dealers was reported at 58.3%, indicating a supply-demand imbalance [4][6]. - Despite short-term challenges, industry experts believe the long-term growth trajectory for the NEV sector remains intact, with expectations for a recovery in sales as the market stabilizes post-policy transition and new products are launched [6].
