China’s automotive industry is making significant strides in expanding its global presence, particularly in the field of autonomous vehicles. On May 17, 2025, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center released its report titled 2025 China Automotive Overseas Expansion Support Guidelines. This document aims to provide strategic guidance for Chinese car manufacturers seeking to enter foreign markets.
The report reveals that as of May 2025, Chinese autonomous vehicle brands account for approximately 30% of the total requests for international patents compared to their foreign counterparts. Furthermore, the effective patent request ratio for Chinese autonomous vehicles has reached 47%, showcasing a robust increase in innovation and competitiveness.
Experts highlight the importance of establishing a clear and strategic approach for automotive companies aiming to expand internationally. They emphasize that three key steps must be followed: aligning knowledge and product strategies with local regulations, enhancing collaboration with international partners, and ensuring that the quality of patents meets the stringent requirements of foreign markets.
Additionally, the report notes that collaboration with overseas entities can significantly enhance the success rate of Chinese automotive brands. It suggests that leveraging partnerships and integrating local expertise is crucial for navigating the complexities of foreign markets.
However, experts caution that challenges remain. The report indicates that many Chinese companies still face hurdles in meeting the specific demands of international markets, particularly regarding quality standards and intellectual property protection. The report also stresses that companies must prioritize patent protection and maintain a competitive edge to succeed abroad.
In summary, the report underscores the need for a well-rounded strategy that encompasses patent protection, product development, and market entry tactics. As Chinese automotive brands continue to evolve, their ability to adapt to international standards will determine their success on the global stage.
