Release time:2022-07-28
On January 20, 2026, the China Special-Purpose Vehicle Capital Industry Association released 2025 market data for special-purpose vehicles. The annual sales volume of general-purpose special-purpose vehicles reached 1.1445 million units, a year-on-year increase of 4.74%, indicating that the market maintained a low-level recovery trend. Among them, new energy special-purpose vehicles performed brightly, with annual sales of 371,600 units, a year-on-year increase of 13.48%, and the penetration rate rose to 32.47%, an increase of 3.86 percentage points from the previous year, becoming the core driving force for market growth.
In terms of segmentation, the annual sales volume of narrow-sense special-purpose vehicles (excluding seven categories of general models) reached 368,700 units, a year-on-year increase of 16.88%, significantly higher than the growth rate of the general market, highlighting strong demand for professional and high-value-added models. From a monthly perspective, affected by expectations of the phasing out of the purchase tax reduction and exemption policy in December, new energy models saw concentrated deliveries. The sales volume of new energy special-purpose vehicles in that month was 54,700 units, a year-on-year increase of 79.38%, with a penetration rate as high as 48.27%. The market structure showed obvious differentiation: growth in general cargo logistics special-purpose vehicles stagnated, demand for models in scenarios such as fire rescue and emergency support remained strong, and demand in the construction sector recovered. The industry is accelerating its transformation towards specialization and scenario-based development.
