Assessment

Official full-year 2023 sales and delivery figures for all four German automakers confirm that China accounted for approximately one-third of their global volume: Volkswagen Group delivered 35.02% of its vehicles to China (3.24M of 9.24M), BMW Group delivered 32.28% to China (825k of 2.56M), Audi delivered 38.44% to China (729k of 1.90M), and Mercedes-Benz recorded 36.07% for passenger cars (30.70% across the full Group). Every brand falls squarely around the one-third proportion stated by TP Huang.

Volkswagen Group FY 2023 deliveries: 3,236,000 in China out of 9,239,512 globally (35.02%).
BMW Group FY 2023 deliveries: 824,932 in China out of 2,555,341 globally (32.28%).
