Publisher Frost & Sullivan

SKU # MC20190537

Description

This Frost & Sullivan report examines the automotive industry in China, with a focus on passenger vehicles (PVs). The segments covered include vans, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), multipurpose vehicles (MPVs), and cross vehicles. The study also assesses China’s electric vehicle (EV) sector, including the charging and battery-swapping infrastructure.

China’s automotive industry continues to grow, expanding from 26.1 million units in 2023 to 27.6 million units in 2024. A GDP growth of 5% year-on-year (YoY) in 2024, the Chinese government’s subsidies to scrap old vehicles and buy new ones, and the rise of Chinese domestic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have all strengthened sales. However, global geopolitical issues disrupt business activities, affecting the economy and consumer sensitivity, resulting in relative uncertainty and spending conservation in 2025.

In this report, Frost & Sullivan provides the total size of the Chinese automotive industry and historical and forecast data from 2019 to 2025. It also offers the following:

• Highlights of the Chinese automotive industry in 2024 and trends for 2025
• Analysis by segment, including the vehicle and powertrain subsegments
• Analysis of the rise of Chinese domestic brands

The report examines the factors driving and restraining this industry and identifies the growth opportunities emerging from changes in this space for stakeholders and market players to leverage.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
