In the first quarter of 2025, the market share taken by China-produced vehicles in Israel was the highest in all markets worldwide. At 25.5% of all delivery, China’s market share in Israel was 14% in China and 7% in Brazil. In Europe, the market share photographed by Chinese vehicles in the first two months of 2025 was 4.1%, after a sharp rise from the previous year.
At the end of April 2025, total sales of Israeli Chinese-made vehicles exceeded 200,000.
Russia leads China’s total vehicle market share by 53% in 2025, but the Russian market is not considered “development.”
Changes to import mix
Israel also leads developed countries on the number of Chinese brands for sale. Currently, 21 Chinese brands are represented in Israel, but some are not active in the market. By the end of the year, at least five new Chinese brands are expected to enter the Israeli market.
The sector rating is that Israel’s Chinese cars market share could reach 30% of all delivery by the end of 2025. The rise has increased in part thanks to the rapid changes in imports that have expanded beyond just sales of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and gasoline-powered vehicles and beyond electric vehicles alone.
In the first four months of 2025, the Chinese brand won 92% of Israel’s plug-in hybrid segment and accounted for 6.2% of all new vehicle delivery. China’s share of the hybrid vehicle market has increased to 6.6% from under 1% last year. It is expected that the company will continue to grow in the coming months with the introduction of new hybrid models by MG and BAIC.
