Huatai Securities research report indicates that overseas markets are the core growth pathway for Chinese automakers, with geopolitical situations potentially impacting sales in the short term. It is estimated that Middle East market exports will be impacted by approximately 300,000 vehicles in 2026, though new energy vehicles are expected to offset some of the risks. The report recommends focusing on integrated automakers with strong supply chain capabilities and strong cost-reduction abilities, as well as new energy vehicle export enterprises actively expanding into global markets.

People’s Financial News, March 12 — Huatai Securities research report states that overseas markets have become the core pathway for Chinese automakers’ growth and advancement. In the short term, geopolitical tensions such as conflicts between the US, Israel, and Iran may suppress overall sales performance. It is estimated that by 2026, exports to the Middle East could be affected by approximately 300,000 vehicles. Coupled with oil price fluctuations, domestic demand for fuel-powered vehicles may face downward risks. However, driven by energy efficiency advantages, the growth of new energy vehicles is expected to partially offset these risks. Historical analysis also shows that Chinese automakers are likely to leverage their forward-looking global market strategies to seize opportunities and reshape regional market shares once tensions subside. The report recommends focusing on two major investment directions: vehicle manufacturers with full industry chain advantages and strong cost-reduction capabilities; and Chinese new energy vehicle exporters actively expanding into global markets, especially those poised to benefit from high growth in the European new energy market.
