In 2012, China achieved sales of 19,360,400 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 4.3%. Considering that the sales base is already high and the macroeconomic growth rate has slowed down, many people predicted that the growth rate of the auto market this year will be in the single digit level. However, in the past three quarters, China’s auto sales have achieved double-digit growth. From January to September, China's automobile production and sales were 15.9164 million and 15.8831 million, respectively, up 12.8% and 12.7% respectively. Among them, the production and sales of passenger cars were 12.9271 million and 12.8493 million, an increase of 13.7% and 14.0% respectively.

 

In the fourth quarter, even if sales volume increased by zero (that is, 5,151,100 units as in the fourth quarter of last year), the annual sales volume in 2013 will reach 210,917 units, an increase of 9.3%. In the fourth quarter, sales volume is likely to increase year-on-year. According to the survey of the industry by Gasgoo.com (the survey time was September 2, October 13, 2013, the number of participants was 2,115), nearly 90% of people think that sales in the fourth quarter of this year will increase by more than 5%. Specifically, 46% believe that the fourth quarter will increase by more than 10%, 40% think that the increase will be between 5% and 10%, and only 14% think that the increase is below 5%. .
