Manufacturing and Sales Expansion

Honda plans to:

  1. Increase production capacity at its Chinese factories.
  2. Enhance dealership networks.
  3. Introduce new retail formats.

This expansion ensures Honda’s preparedness to meet growing demand and evolving consumer expectations.

Market Outlook

China’s automotive market is expected to:

  1. Reach 35 million units by 2025.
  2. Account for 30% of global EV sales.

Honda’s accelerated transformation positions the company for significant growth in this critical market.
