Dong Yang, vice president and secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said that he is cautiously optimistic about the auto market this year and hopes that the year-on-year increase in automobile production and sales will reach 5% to 8% this year.

Accumulated data show that from January to July, China's automobile production and sales volume was 10,987,700 units and 10,979,400 units respectively, an increase of 4.84% and 3.56% year-on-year respectively.

In terms of passenger vehicles, in July, the production and sales volume of four categories of passenger cars, SUVMPV, and crossover passenger cars all declined in different degrees compared with June. Among them, the decline of cross-type passenger cars was even more pronounced, and the production and sales volume decreased respectively. 28.44% and 23.42% compared with the same period of last year, MPV sales volume decreased by 0.86% year-on-year. Sales of other varieties showed steady growth. SUV sales increased 29.62% year-on-year.

In terms of commercial vehicles, in July, compared with the previous month, passenger car production increased slightly, and the production and sales of incomplete vehicles for trucks, semi-trailer tractors and passenger cars showed a definite decline. Compared with the same period of last year, the production and sales of passenger cars maintained steady growth. The output of complete vehicles slightly increased, sales volume declined slightly, and the sales of other varieties decreased in different ways, among which the drop in tractor-trailers was even more pronounced.

For August, the CLUCC expects that the sales of passenger vehicles will be positive year-on-year. This is because the pre-school car boom and the early warm-up of the 11-day holiday market are unique to the August passenger car market. Moreover, the national economy will recover slightly in the third quarter. It is expected that the gradual adoption of the energy-saving car catalog model in August and the regional terminal will be completed. Gradually in place, there will be a small upsurge in the purchase of the market.

For the local purchase restriction policy, the CLUCC believes that in early August, Xi'an limited licensing solicitation comments and the introduction of restricted licenses in second-tier cities, but panic buying in second-tier cities has little negative impact on the overall market. Dong Yang said that if several additional cities are added, the growth rate of automobile production and sales will be greatly affected. For other cities that may introduce restrictions on purchase policies, Dong Yang believes that “in the context of the relatively fragile macroeconomic environment, all localities must not be confused”.

High stocks of dealers At present, the sales growth of the automotive market slows down. In order to achieve the sales target, the automakers have increased the pressure on the dealers, which directly leads to high stocks of distributors.

Dong Yang said that it is normal for dealers to have one-and-a-half months of inventory. It is now estimated that there are two months of inventory. However, the current inventory of imported vehicles is indeed high, which is seen from the sales growth of the imported luxury car market this year of less than 30% and the growth rate of imports reaching 40%. It can be seen that imported vehicles are selling more seriously. According to Dong Yang, more than a month ago, when he was researching at Beijing Benz, he had learned that Beijing Benz’s own stocks were normal, but the imported Mercedes-Benz’s price cuts due to an inventory backlog, and the market price of Beijing Benz was also burdened.”

The National Association of Passenger Vehicle Market Information Association believes that high inventory causes the highest number of production companies that have this month’s exposure to high temperatures, which may ease the dealer’s high inventory situation.
