Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF

DRIV

Market cap $331M

DRIV and KARS stand out as EV-focused ETFs are poised to benefit from the IEA's forecast of more than 20M electric car sales in 2025.

The global electric vehicle market remains highly competitive, with China as the dominant region and the U.S. seeing a temporary Q3 boost from expiring tax credits. BYD Company Limited leads in global EV sales but saw a rare year-over-year decline in Q3, mainly due to intense competition in China, though exports are surging. Xiaomi is emerging as a standout, rapidly scaling EV sales and maintaining strong momentum despite being a newcomer and not an EV pure-play.

Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF offers diversified exposure across the autonomous and electric vehicle ecosystem, not just manufacturers, providing a balanced risk-return profile. The ETF outperforms peers with consistent returns, strong global positioning, and strategic holdings in industry leaders like NVIDIA, Alphabet, Tesla, and Toyota. Robust global EV and autonomous vehicle market growth, especially in China and emerging markets, underpins DRIV's long-term potential despite declining subsidies.

With nearly 70% of global rare earth production and more than 90% of processing taking place in China, the world remains heavily reliant on the country for rare earth element supplies.

The Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF offers exposure to the growing EV and autonomous vehicle markets, despite recent tariff-induced declines. The DRIV ETF's top holdings include major tech companies like Nvidia, Intel, Microsoft, and EV manufacturers like Tesla and XPeng. Tariffs have negatively impacted the market, but the long-term growth potential in global EV adoption remains strong.
