BYD Executive Comments on Frenzied Pace of 542 New Car Launches in China's First Five Months

On July 14th, He Zhiqi, Executive Vice President of Byd Company Limited (BYD COMPANY), posted online: a colleague shared a statistic with me showing that from January to May this year, a total of 542 new car models were launched, averaging 3.6 new models per day.

This is completely insane. These are automobiles, where a single new model often requires an investment exceeding 1 billion yuan and a development cycle of over two years. Yet, the market heat for a model can't even be sustained for three months; it cools down before it even gets warmed up.

With so many new models entering the market, the overall domestic market is still down by 20%. This competition is no longer just intense; it's brutal.

However, competition can also foster prosperity. The domestic automotive market is like a super gymnasium; only by enduring the rough and tumble can one build a stronger physique.
