With global warming and increasing energy consumption, developed countries such as the United States, Japan and the European Union are actively promoting the electrification of vehicles, while emerging market economies such as China and India are also accelerating the development of pure electric vehicles to cope with the increasingly severe problem of energy consumption. Although certain achievements have been made and the development environment is globally favorable, and it has various advantages over the US, India, Japan and Europe in terms of market scale, public infrastructure guarantee capacity and industrial chain policy effectiveness, facing fierce competition in the international market, the export volume of domestic pure electric vehicles is relatively small, and some core components have not achieved full localization. The international competitiveness of pure electric vehicles in China still needs to be improved. Therefore, studying the development status of the pure electric vehicle industry and understanding its international competitive position is of great significance to the selection and adjustment of national industrial strategies.
Through qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the development status and market competitiveness of China's pure electric vehicle industry. First, this paper sorts out the theories and index systems related to market competitiveness, and summarizes the research results of China's pure electric vehicle industry. Then, through the data of four indicators (international market share index, revealed comparative advantage index, revealed competitive advantage index, trade specialization index), the paper compares and analyzes the development trends of the pure electric vehicle industry in China, the United States, India, Japan and Europe. From the perspective of micro enterprises, this paper compares and studies the pure electric vehicle industries of India, the United States, Japan and Europe from six aspects, including industrial competitiveness, industrial chain integrity, public infrastructure guarantee capacity, innovation capacity and market openness, so as to establish a horizontal comparison system between China and the world's major pure electric vehicle countries or regions. Finally, with the help of Porter's Diamond Model, this paper focuses on exploring the factors affecting the international competitiveness of China's pure electric vehicle industry from the perspectives of government policies and technological innovation.
This study finds that China's pure electric vehicle industry has internationally leading advantages in terms of market scale, industrial chain integrity and public infrastructure support capacity, but also faces problems such as insufficient international market share, low market openness and internationalization capacity, lack of competitiveness of independent brands, and dependence on imports of some core components and raw materials. From the perspective of trade-related indicators of international competitiveness, the international competitiveness of China's pure electric vehicles is relatively weak. A series of policies adopted by the Chinese government have provided strong support for the development of the pure electric vehicle industry, thus promoting the sustainable development of the industry. In addition, China leads the world in technological innovation in the power battery field of pure electric vehicles, while its technological capabilities in electronic control systems and motor technology still need to be improved. Finally, this paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions on how to enhance the international competitiveness of China's pure electric vehicle industry, including: in terms of policies, continuing to further optimize and refine the policy system supporting the development of pure electric vehicles; in terms of the market, continuing to improve the diversified product layout; in terms of technology, achieving breakthroughs in core fields and extending the development of the industrial chain; in terms of business models, helping enterprises realize value through innovative models; in terms of infrastructure construction, accelerating development in multiple dimensions.
