At the 2025 China Auto Forum, Wang De'an, the Chief Analyst of Ping An Securities' Auto Industry, emphasized that new auto makers must generate substantial annual revenue to achieve break-even due to unexpectedly high R&D investments. He projects that leading new auto makers will allocate up to RMB 10 billion annually towards R&D, necessitating approximately RMB 125 billion in annual revenue to reach profitability.
