Domestic demand in China's NEV market remains weak, HSBC Global Investment Research said in its report. In April, retail sales of PV NEV were flat MoM and sank 6% YoY, while overall PV demand declined 21% YoY.

On exports, China's PV exports reached 2.7 million units in 4M26, up 69% YoY, mainly driven by EVs, whose share increased from 38% to 49%. The broker believed that amid weak domestic demand, exports remain an important pillar supporting capacity utilization, earnings resilience and product mix improvement.
