From January to June 2026, BYD maintained rapid growth in overseas passenger vehicle exports, with its destination layout featuring a clear pattern: Latin America takes the lead with strong performance, multiple European markets achieve breakthrough growth, while Oceania, Southeast Asia and the Middle East pursue differentiated expansion strategies.
Brazil remained BYD's largest overseas market, five European countries made it to the Top 10 export destinations, and key overseas markets including Australia, the Philippines, Thailand and the UAE all delivered large-volume vehicle shipments. Meanwhile, BYD leverages its dual technical strengths in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), tailoring its product lineup flexibly to local consumption preferences and market conditions, which further accelerates its global market penetration.
Here are the top 10 destination countries by BYD passenger vehicle exports from January to June 2026, with detailed data:
NO.1 Brazil: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 99,504 battery electric passenger vehicles and 95,182 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to Brazil, totaling 194,686 units.
NO.2 Australia: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 42,258 battery electric passenger vehicles and 16,581 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to Australia, totaling 58,839 units.
NO.3 Belgium: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 16,810 battery electric passenger vehicles and 27,038 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to Belgium, totaling 43,848 units.
NO.4 UK: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 11,201 battery electric passenger vehicles and 27,853 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to the UK, totaling 39,054 units.
NO.5 Germany: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 11,690 battery electric passenger vehicles and 16,626 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to Germany, totaling 28,316 units.
NO.6 Philippines: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 7,477 battery electric passenger vehicles and 18,512 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to the Philippines, totaling 25,989 units.
NO.7 UAE: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 848 battery electric passenger vehicles and 17,298 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to the UAE, totaling 18,146 units.
NO.8 Spain: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 6,879 battery electric passenger vehicles and 10,730 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to Spain, totaling 17,609 units.
NO.9 Slovenia: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 7,933 battery electric passenger vehicles and 8,148 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to Slovenia, totaling 16,081 units.
NO.10 Thailand: From January to June 2026, BYD exported 14,307 battery electric passenger vehicles and 14 plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles to Thailand, totaling 14,321 units.
According to Gasgoo Automotive Research Institute, BYD's overseas passenger vehicle exports from January to June 2026 demonstrate distinct development characteristics: Brazil holds an unrivaled leading position, multiple European countries achieve breakthrough export volumes, and there are stark divergences in consumer preferences for powertrain types across all regions.
Brazil secured the top spot with total exports of 194,686 units, where shipments of BEVs (99,504 units) and PHEVs (95,182 units) stood at nearly equal volumes, pointing to robust market demand for both of BYD's core technical routes. Notably, tightening import policies in Brazil may drive a shift in BYD's export model from complete built-up vehicle shipments to local manufacturing in the future.
Multiple European economies claimed several spots on the ranking, with Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Slovenia all entering the Top 10 export destinations. Plug-in hybrid models dominate sales in Belgium (accounting for 62% of total exports) and the United Kingdom (71%); Germany sees balanced demand between battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles; Spain records nearly identical volumes for the two powertrain types; Slovenia also maintains an even split. This highlights BYD's flexible adjustment of product portfolios to match localized market demand and its deepened market footprint across Europe.
Demand disparities are further pronounced across Oceania, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Australia ranked second with total exports of 58,839 units, where battery electric vehicles form the mainstream market segment. Exports to Thailand are overwhelmingly battery electric, with plug-in hybrid models making up a negligible share. The UAE market relies heavily on plug-in hybrid products, while Philippine consumers also show stronger preference for plug-in hybrid vehicles. Overall, BYD avoids adopting a single technical route for all overseas markets; instead, it rolls out customized product lineups tailored to each country's energy policies and consumer habits.
