BYD Belgium almost doubles its market share to 3.8% and secures a place close to the top 10 in Belgium
• A 3.8% market share in Belgium according to the latest FEBIAC registration figures for July, putting it in 11th place in the ranking of the most popular car brands in Belgium.
• Just one month after reaching the 2% milestone, BYD has almost doubled its market share.
• Globally, BYD is consolidating its position with a 91st place in the Fortune Global 500.
BYD Belgium continues to maintain its strong growth trajectory. Just one month after the brand first reached the 2 per cent market share mark, the latest registration figures from FEBIAC show that BYD achieved a market share of 3.8 per cent in July. This means that, for the first time, BYD secures a place close to the top 10 car brands with the highest number of registrations in Belgium.
This achievement underlines the growing confidence that Belgian motorists have in BYD’s innovative technologies and fully electrified model range. Moreover, this growth is the result of the daily efforts of the Belgian dealer network, partners and all staff who are working together to further develop the brand in Belgium.
‘Just a month ago, we celebrated reaching the 2 per cent market share milestone. The fact that we have already grown to 3.8 per cent and secured a place close to the Belgian Top 10 is a particularly strong signal,’ says Joris Clavie, Brand Director at BYD Belux. ‘These results demonstrate that more and more Belgian customers are consciously choosing our technology, our products and our vision for sustainable mobility. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved together with our dealers, partners and colleagues.’
Belgian growth is part of a global success story
The strong performance in Belgium coincides with a new international milestone for BYD. This year, the company ranks 91st in the Fortune Global 500, marking its fifth consecutive year on the prestigious list and firmly establishing itself among the world’s 100 largest companies.
In 2025, BYD achieved a turnover of RMB 804 billion (€104.36 billion) and sold 4.6 million so-called New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) worldwide. This consolidated the company’s position as the world’s largest manufacturer of NEVs. This growth continued into 2026, with more than 1.8 million vehicles sold in the first half of the year and the production of the 17 millionth NEV – a unique milestone in the automotive industry.
Innovation as the driving force behind sustainable growth
BYD’s global growth is underpinned by ongoing investment in technology and innovation. In 2025, the company invested RMB 63.4 billion (€8.23 billion) in research and development, an increase of 17% compared with the previous year. These investments resulted, amongst other things, in the launch of the second-generation Blade Battery, FLASH Charging technology and further developments in the field of intelligent driver-assistance systems.
Today, BYD operates in 121 countries and regions. In 2025, international sales exceeded one million vehicles outside China for the first time, whilst in the first half of 2026, more than 780,000 vehicles were already sold internationally. BYD is thus continuing to expand its global production, sales and service network.
Confidence in the future
For BYD Belux, the Belgian results confirm this international growth momentum. With a constantly expanding range of innovative electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, a growing dealer network and a clear focus on technology and sustainability, the brand looks forward to the rest of 2026 with confidence.
