In the third quarter of 2022, China’s new energy industry is on track for faster development despite headwinds such as the effects of the epidemic, intense heat and high commodity prices, according to BYD. Faced with this market climate, BYD achieved a sharp surge in NEV sales both in the previous year and in the previous quarter, significantly improving the group’s profitability and easing the pressure caused by rising raw material prices.

In addition, thanks to the group’s increased ability to control costs and product structure adjustments, BYD’s profitability in phone component manufacturing and assembly also improved in the third quarter, despite overall weak demand in the consumer electronics industry.
