The graph illustrates the global market share of the top five manufacturers in the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market from 2021 to May 2024, measured by units sold.

Tesla consistently maintains the largest market share throughout the period, ranging from 17% to 21%. BYD emerges as the second-largest competitor, showing significant growth from 9% in 2021 to 16% by May 2024, narrowing the gap with Tesla.

Volkswagen Group’s market share remains relatively stable, fluctuating between 11% and 13%. Geely-Volvo experiences a slight decline from 8% to 6% over the period. Hyundai-Kia maintains a consistent 5-6% market share.

The “Others” category, representing smaller manufacturers, shows a declining trend from 44% in 2021 to 37% by May 2024. This suggests market consolidation among the top manufacturers.

The data indicates a dynamic BEV market with Tesla and BYD as dominant players, while other major manufacturers maintain stable positions. The declining share of “Others” points to increasing market concentration among leading brands.
