Guangdong's EV supply chain: from batteries to the world

Guangdong has built one of the most complete new-energy vehicle (NEV) supply chains on the planet. In 2024 the province produced about 3.62 million NEVs — up roughly 43% year-on-year and around a quarter of China's total. For component buyers, that density is a sourcing opportunity.

Key 2024 figures

Guangdong NEV output	~3.62 million units (+43% yoy); ~1/4 of national output
Shenzhen NEV output	~2.94 million units — the city ranked first in China
Industry base	12,000+ NEV-related enterprises; full chain from materials to recycling
Charging infra	500k+ public and 950k+ private charging points; leading nationally

What this means for component buyers

Battery & powertrain tier-2/3 parts — busbars, enclosures, thermal components, connectors and precision metal parts sit in the GBA.
Electrification hardware — wiring, harness accessories, PDU components and charging accessories.
Cross-over with data centers — battery and power-electronics supply chains overlap with the energy-storage and power hardware we already integrate.

How Anchormere fits

We are not a vehicle maker. We are a supply-chain integrator that helps overseas buyers tap the GBA's component ecosystem — qualifying factories, consolidating mixed-SKU orders and handling export documentation across categories that span automotive, energy and electronics.
