After spending half a year's exam, the auto market showed a faint trend in July

The data shows that in July 2017, the narrow passenger car market accumulated sales of 1.65 million vehicles, an increase of 5.9% year-on-year; from January to July, the cumulative increase was 3.1% year-on-year. After spending half a year's exam, the market performance in July showed a trend of rising compared with that in June. Does this confirm that the V-shaped trend of the domestic market and the follow-up market performance should be stepped up?

From the market segment perspective, the sedan market in July 2017 increased slightly, and the cumulative year-on-year decline narrowed to -2.8%; the MPV market fell 15.4%; the SUV market continued to grow, accumulating a cumulative 17% year-on-year. There is no sign of rebound in the MPV market in the short term; the sedan market is expected to end its declining trend; the SUV market is growing at a very high speed or difficult to continue.

In the January-July period, the top 10 passenger cars increased by half, while the MPV market grew by only GL8 and Alice. The top 10 in the SUV market was still only the Haval H6. The overall performance of the market segment: The public sector in cars is worrying. In the SUV, Haval H6 and Angkewei need new actions to change, and the market structure of MPV is difficult to change.

In terms of sales volume, SAIC-Volkswagen, FAW-Volkswagen, and SAIC General Motors have taken the lead in breaking through millions of sales, which is expected to hit a 2 million-unit mark throughout the year. In addition, although the overall performance is not as good as it is, there are expected to be seven car companies with over one million sales in the year. Geely Automobile has continued to exert its power and has performed "unpredictable", which is expected to further break the pattern.

According to the proportion of sales by country, the sales volume of Chinese brands from January to July accounted for 41.6%, an increase of 1.6 percentage points, the Japanese ratio increased by 2.1 percentage points, the European system increased by 0.3 percentage points, and the Korean and American lines were both Decline. Benefiting from the layout of the SUV market, the European Department has made up for the negative impact of the car market; SUVs continue to help Chinese brands.

Overall, the market performance in July 2017 was unexpected. The traditional practice of half-year impulse by car companies had no significant negative impact on the market performance in July. The annual V-shaped monthly trend may come earlier.
