BYD has been doing a lot of things these days, and wave after wave of price reductions is like chilled watermelon in summer, which has brought a chill to the market. Since the beginning of the year, Qin PLUS Glory Edition and Destroyer 05 Glory Edition have begun to take the lead, and as soon as the price drops, the market reaction is called a warm one. Then, popular models such as Qin L and Seal 06 also followed, and the price was lowered so much that it was exciting. Now, I heard that BYD is going to engage in the third wave again, and this posture is to push the price war in the new energy market to a new height!
First, BYD's price reduction tide
Since the beginning of 2024, BYD has launched several rounds of price reduction measures. Taking the Qin PLUS Glory Edition and the Destroyer 05 Glory Edition as examples, the price of these two models has been directly reduced from the original price to 79,800 yuan, which is more than 20,000 yuan lower than the previous Champion Edition model. This price reduction is rare in the new energy vehicle market and quickly attracted the attention of a large number of consumers.
The effect of the price reduction strategy was immediate. According to statistics, within a few months after the price cut, BYD's sales increased by more than 20% year-on-year, and its market share also increased significantly. For example, BYD's weekly sales exceeded 60,000 units in a certain period of time, demonstrating its strong market appeal.
2. The current situation and challenges of joint venture car brands
Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, has predicted that in the next three to five years, the share of joint venture brands in the Chinese market will fall from the current 40% to 10%.
Although the joint venture brand has a long history and a deep consumer base in the Chinese market, its brand loyalty has also been tested in the face of strong offensive from domestic brands such as BYD. Some consumers may turn to domestic new energy brands due to factors such as price and performance.
In order to cope with the challenges, the joint venture brand is also accelerating the research and development and promotion of new energy products. However, compared with domestic brands such as BYD, the layout and investment of joint venture brands in the field of new energy may lag behind, and more efforts are needed to catch up.
3. Coping strategies of joint venture brands
Joint venture brands need to continue to strengthen brand building and enhance brand awareness and reputation. Enhance consumers' sense of identity and loyalty to the brand by holding various events and sponsoring sports events.
In response to market demand and consumer preferences, joint venture brands need to optimize their product lines and launch more new energy models that meet market demand. At the same time, we should also focus on improving product quality and performance to meet consumers' pursuit of high-quality products.
In terms of marketing, joint venture brands need to be closer to consumers and understand their needs and pain points. Through precision marketing, social media promotion, etc., improve brand exposure and market influence.
In the face of the rapid development of new energy technology and the intensification of market competition, joint venture brands need to increase R&D investment and enhance their technological innovation capabilities. Through independent research and development or cooperative research and development, master the core technology and improve product competitiveness.
