2009 was an important year for the China automotive industry. This was the year that China exceeds the United States and Japan in becoming the top car manufacturer by production volume. 2010 saw China produce just under 14m units, a 33% increase from 2009 and therefore consolidating its position as the world’s largest automotive manufacturer. Into 2011, China’s position in the automotive market remains strong and this is unlikely to change for the foreseeable future.
As well as being the largest manufacturer, China is recognised as the largest automotive market in the world, given the size of the population where only one in five owns a car. The forecast is that by 2015, the demand for cars in China will reach 25m - 30m units. Foreign car manufacturers are therefore naturally drawn to such an exciting market where the number of potential consumers is staggering.
