According to data compiled by the Gasgoo Automotive Research Institute, in Q1 2026, China's new energy vehicle (NEV) electrification core segments exhibited a pattern of entrenched leadership, intensifying tier-based competition, and deepening vertical integration.
Across six key areas—including power batteries, BMS, and drive motors—installation data shows that leading enterprises continue to concentrate resources through technological and scale advantages. Meanwhile, OEM in-house development and the supply chain ecosystem are diverging in parallel, with China's local suppliers maintaining a firmly dominant position.
Second-tier and specialized niche players are achieving differentiated breakthroughs, further driving the industry toward greater self-reliance, higher integration efficiency, and continuous technological iteration. These dynamics provide an important basis for assessing the competitive landscape and structural evolution of the automotive components industry.
