China’s cleantech creating ‘new global energy system’ as exports soar: report



China’s clean technology is “becoming the basis of the new energy system” around the world, with the country’s monthly green tech exports hitting a record US$20 billion in August, a European think tank said.

As China brings down the prices of technologies like batteries and photovoltaic solar panels, sales are surging in countries across Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa, according to a report by the UK-based think tank Ember.

“Demand for clean technologies continues to skyrocket as more countries seek their benefits, from low-cost power to cheaper vehicles,” said Ember analyst Euan Graham.

Developing countries are playing a key role in driving the boom, as 51 per cent of the growth in China’s electric vehicle exports this year has come from nations outside the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), according to the report.

Exports to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) grew by 75 per cent during the first eight months of 2025, with Indonesia seeing the largest increase in EV imports from China worldwide so far this year, becoming the ninth-largest market, the report said.

China’s EV exports to Africa nearly tripled, led by Morocco and a six-fold surge in sales to Nigeria. Exports to the Middle East rose by 72 per cent, while sales to Latin America and the Caribbean increased by 11 per cent.
