China dominance in renewable energy and electric vehicles

Overview

China is establishing significant dominance in the global transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs). Early reports indicate that China is positioning itself as a leader in these sectors, noting that new electric car registrations exceeded internal combustion engine vehicles for the first time in April. This shift has caused tension with the European Union due to concerns regarding a market influx of Chinese products.

Subsequent data shows an intensification of this industrial influence. China’s share of new global wind energy installations rose from 58% in 2022 to 77% in 2025. In the electric vehicle market, China maintains an industrial near-monopoly, producing approximately 75% of the world’s EVs. This dominance is particularly pronounced in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, where Chinese imports account for over 80% of local market shares. This industrial expansion has contributed to a reduction in global fossil fuel consumption, with China alone accounting for a daily reduction of one million barrels of oil through its EV fleet.
