-According to a report by GlobalData as of Q4 2024, global light vehicle production in 2024 is estimated to decline by 0.4% YoY to 90.7 mn.

-For 2025, the uncertainty surrounding trade tariffs and an anticipated stabilization in demand have led to a lower full-year production outlook - now projected at 92.1 mn (+1.6% YoY) and representing a downgrade of 826k from Q3 2024. 

-While most manufacturers' production forecasts were revised downwards or broadly unchanged, BYD's production forecast was revised upwards by around 300k units/year.
