The sales of vehicles automobile in China
increased by 15 % last year, exceeding expectations by reaching nearly of the
22 million sold units, with about 18 million passenger cars, the Chinese
association car manufacturers announced on Thursday.
China strengthened is
position of market leader
China
confirmed in 2013 its status of first automobile market to the world, a place
which was acquired in 2012. In the Middle Kingdom, the sales any confused
vehicles increased by 14 % last year to 22 million units, a growth which
exceeded expectations, announced on Thursday the Chinese Association of the car
manufacturers. For the only passenger cars and SUV (except commercial vehicles),
sales progressed of 16 % to reach 18 million units sold.
The latter amounts,
which integrates a 18 % jump of the registrations in December, is clearly upper
to the forecasts of the association, which banked initially on a 7 % progress
only of the market after two years of low growth.
What are
the positions of the French manufacturers in China? After many disappointments,
PSA has three production units to Wuhan by means of its joint venture with the
Chinese manufacturer Dongfeng today. The production capacity, which is about 600.000
cars a year, should be increased to 750.000 in 2015.
The market of second-hand
is still emerging
Still
embryonic, the market of the second-hand car should explode in China in the
years which come, following the sales of new vehicles, and the foreign builders
already position to make sure a share of the cake.
In China,
we count approximately a second-hand vehicle sold for three new, what little by
report of the other regions, in particular in the United States where on the
contrary there are 27 second-hand vehicles for new 10.
The reason
of this delay is simple: the take-off of the Chinese market goes back up only
in a decade and at the moment the Chinese who reach the automobile favor the
new. 65 % of them are always first-buyers.
