Analysts forecast that BYD global exports 2025 will account for 20% of the company’s total sales. They expect BYD to deliver between 800,000 and 1 million vehicles outside China this year. This will represent roughly 20% of the projected 4.6 million total units.
However, BYD adjusted its overall sales forecast downward by 16% due to slower growth. This year marks the company’s slowest expansion in five years, reflecting broader trends in Chinese EV sales. Despite this slowdown, analysts anticipate that exports will contribute increasingly to BYD’s revenue.
BYD has pursued an aggressive international strategy to support this growth. For instance, the company pledged that every vehicle sold in Europe will be built locally by 2028. Recently, BYD even overtook Tesla in European EV sales, demonstrating its global competitiveness. Additionally, BYD uses its own car-carrier fleet, which ensures fast and efficient delivery to international markets.
By comparison, BYD shipped less than 10% of its vehicles abroad in 2024, out of 4.6 million total units. As the company continues to expand its overseas operations, exports will play a larger role in its overall sales mix. Furthermore, Europe will likely remain a key market driving this growth.
With its international expansion, BYD positions itself as a leading player in the global EV industry. Analysts expect that global sales will steadily increase as the company leverages new manufacturing sites and shipping capabilities. Moreover, the growing export share signals that BYD is ready to compete aggressively with rivals like Tesla in key overseas markets.
