Automakers from the Chinese mainland are gaining ground in Peru’s competitive auto market, driven by a powerful combination of new infrastructure and consumer optimism. The launch of the Chancay mega port has unlocked smoother shipping lanes, while rising confidence among buyers is steering demand toward fresh options.
Once pegged as budget-friendly alternatives, vehicles from the Chinese mainland now challenge established brands with advanced technology and wallet-friendly pricing. This shift reflects a broader trend toward value-packed features without the premium sticker shock.
Today, vehicles from the Chinese mainland account for 25% of all car sales in Peru, a milestone that underscores the market’s evolving tastes and deepening ties with global manufacturing hubs.
Reporting from Lima, Peru, CGTN’s Dan Collyns captures how the Chancay port and growing consumer confidence are fueling a new chapter in Peru’s auto story.
