BYD reports higher October sales and output as exports offset weaker China demand
BYD said its October vehicle sales and production rose from a year earlier, with faster overseas shipments more than covering a decline at home. Cumulative 2026 sales still trail the prior-year period, so the picture is mixed.

BYD reported October sales of 490,168 vehicles. Sources differ on the size of the annual increase: one cites 11%, while another puts it at 5.7%. Production also rose during the month.
According to a summary of the report, sales inside China fell, but exports grew fast enough to more than make up for the shortfall.
One report notes that BYD's total sales for 2026 so far are still lower than in the comparable part of 2025. That limits the positive reading of the monthly figure. Full details of the report were not available in the summaries.
