BYD achieves milestone as overseas revenue surpasses domestic sales

BYD has reported a significant shift in its business model, with overseas revenue now accounting for 53 percent of its total income, surpassing its domestic Chinese market revenue for the first time. This expansion into international markets, including Europe, South America, and Chile, has helped offset a 31 percent decline in sales within the Greater China region caused by intense domestic price competition and sluggish demand.

In the second quarter of 2026, BYD saw its net profit rise by 30 percent to 8.2 billion yuan, marking its first quarterly profit increase in five quarters. However, the company's overall first-half net profit fell by 20.5 percent to 12.3 billion yuan, and total revenue decreased by 7.1 percent to 344.8 billion yuan. The company's stock experienced a decline of approximately 5 percent in Hong Kong following the announcement.

Strategically, BYD is leveraging plug-in hybrid technology to navigate international markets, such as Germany, where it has gained significant market share. The company is also investing heavily in infrastructure, including plans for 20,000 ultra-fast charging stations in China and expanding charging networks in regions like Brazil.
