Growth of mainland Chinese brands’ vehicle fleet in Europe and its service potential

The increasing presence of vehicles from mainland Chinese automakers in Europe’s vehicle parc brings new dynamics to the region’s repair market.

Mainland Chinese automakers are making significant progress in Europe in search of growth, as they grapple with overproduction in their home market and high tariffs in the US. Mainland China’s vehicle exports set a record in 2025 at 7.1 million units, rising 21% year over year. Mainland Chinese automakers’ effort to expand their global footprint presence have led to exports more than doubled from 3.32 million in 2022.
