According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the main economic indicators of the automotive industry have shown a growth trend this year. In the first half of the year, domestic car sales saw a slight year-on-year increase, with terminal inventories higher than normal levels. Chinese brand passenger car market share exceeded 60%, achieving an upward breakthrough, while the market share of new energy vehicles steadily increased. Car exports maintained rapid growth, making a significant contribution to driving overall market growth.

The China Passenger Car Association stated that with the implementation of policies promoting car replacements and luxury brands declaring an end to price wars, consumers' wait-and-see attitude has begun to ease. With the gradual release of previously suppressed demand and the combined effect of high-intensity terminal discounts and other short-term factors, the July auto market is expected to experience a slight seasonal decline. The year-on-year decline in terminal sales volume is expected to narrow, showing a trend of "not being slow in the off-season." The narrow passenger car retail market in July is estimated to be around 1.73 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 2.2% compared to last year and a month-on-month decrease of 2.0%; the retail of new energy vehicles is expected to be around 860,000 units, flat compared to the previous month, a year-on-year increase of 34.1%, with the penetration rate expected to rise to 49.7%.

Looking ahead, Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the China Passenger Car Association, believes that after the price war in the first half of the year, car companies are expected to optimize market expectations, product structure, and listing pace, and the market may enter a period of accumulation in the next one or two months. Chen Shihua, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, believes that consumer confidence and market conditions need to continue to be boosted and improved to support the stable operation of the automotive industry
