According to data published on the official account of Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the Passenger Car Association, the profit margin of China's auto industry plummeted to a mere 3.5% in July 2025. This represents a notable decline from 6.9% in June and is also lower than the 4.4% recorded in July of the previous year, marking a recent low. Over the past few years, the profit margin of China's auto industry has consistently shown a downward trajectory, decreasing from 7.8% in 2017 to 5.0% in 2023. In 2024, it dipped below 4.3%, and by the first quarter of 2025, it had fallen to 3.9%. The figure of 3.5% in July further underscores the acute profit dilemma confronting the industry.
