The tide of the times surges forward. China’s new energy vehicle industry has shifted from “catch-up” to “leading,” becoming a core symbol of China’s manufacturing going global. Based on a new starting point for high-quality industry development, and seizing the window of global electrification and intelligentization dividends, the New Energy Vehicle ETF (159183) was officially launched today. It helps investors easily allocate high-quality assets across the entire new energy vehicle industry chain, sharing the growth dividends of Chinese intelligent manufacturing going overseas.

1. Industry prosperity is rising, and a turning point in value has arrived

According to the index compilation plan, the CSI New Energy Vehicle Index selects listed companies involved in lithium batteries, charging stations, new energy vehicles, and other related businesses as its sample stocks, reflecting the overall performance of listed companies in the new energy vehicle sector.

Currently, it is a golden window for deploying in the new energy vehicle sector. Multiple favorable factors resonate to support continued high industry prosperity, bidding farewell to disorderly competition, and ushering in a new cycle of volume and price increases:

Industry data hits new highs: By 2025, China’s automobile production and sales will have ranked first globally for 17 consecutive years, with the penetration rate of new energy vehicles surpassing 50%, officially becoming the dominant market force, and industry fundamentals gradually stabilizing.

Policy regulation improves quality and efficiency: The “Guidelines for Price Behavior Compliance in the Automotive Industry” has been implemented, potentially ending malicious price wars. Industry profitability ecosystems are expected to continue repairing, and leading companies’ market share will further accelerate.

Continued overseas expansion momentum: China’s vehicle exports have ranked first globally for three consecutive years, with overseas production capacity, channels, and service systems fully expanding. Export volume is expected to continue high growth in 2026.

2. Leading globally, volume and price rise together

(1) Stable global dominance, strong overseas momentum

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China’s automotive industry delivered impressive results in 2025, demonstrating solid strength:

Leading global production and sales: 34.531 million vehicles produced, 34.4 million sold, with year-on-year growth of 10.4% and 9.4%, respectively. New energy vehicle production and sales both exceeded 16 million, with production up 29% and sales up 28.2% year-on-year. The sales share surpassed 50%, gradually entering an electric-dominated era.

Broad overseas expansion space: Total vehicle exports reached 8.32 million units, ranking first globally for three years in a row, with new energy vehicles accounting for 37.4% of exports, a 100% increase year-on-year. From simple product exports to full industry chain overseas expansion, domestic automakers leverage their technological, capacity, and service advantages to capture market share worldwide, with vast growth potential.
