According to China Basic Passenger Vehicle Industry Report, 2014-2017, released by SinoMarketInsight, it is predicted that the production of basic passenger vehicles in China will amount to 17.01 million units by 2017.
In 2013, the production of basic passenger vehicles in China was 12.1008 million units, up 12.36% from a year earlier. During the period from January to April 2014, the production and sales volume of basic passenger vehicles (cars) totaled 4.1042 million units and 4.1464 million units respectively, a year-on-year increase of 3.76% and 4.88% separately. In 2013, the top 5 auto makers were FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen, Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company, Beijing Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. and Shanghai General Motors Co., Ltd., of which Volkswagen Group occupied 22.35% of the overall market share.
In terms of the levels of basic passenger vehicles, influenced by the adjusted vehicle purchase tax on passenger cars with 1.6L or lower displacement as well as the subsidies for energy-saving vehicles, A-class vehicle has seen a rising market share from 2009 on, from 50% in 2008 to 60%. It is projected that A-class vehicles will continue to take the lead in market share by 2014. However, in the overall passenger vehicle market, the Chinese consumers prefer mid-sized and large vehicles. Therefore, basic passenger vehicles would be squeezed by SUV market.
