Having a car at home is not a dream! Quadruple in 10 years, explosive growth of private cars in China

[the highest number] tomorrow is new year’s Eve. Presumably, many friends are now on their way home, and some friends travel during the Spring Festival holiday. In the face of the uncertainty of the epidemic, self driving has become a safe way to travel. From the perspective of the number of private cars owned by residents, securities times · databao presents a copy of “the most private cars”, which uses data to see the changes of the world in the busy traffic.

the number of private cars in China has quadrupled in 10 years

In the 1980s and 1990s, owning a private car was almost a symbol of status. In that era when people just got rid of food and clothing, cars were standard luxury goods. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, in 1990, there were only 816000 private cars in China, and only 7.4 cars per 10000 people. Don’t mention the tires. Everyone can’t even get a steel wire.

With the deepening of reform and opening up, China’s economy began to change. From luxury goods, cars have gradually entered the homes of ordinary people. Throughout the 1990s, China’s private car ownership grew at an average annual rate of 23%. By the end of 2000, the number of private cars in China had exceeded 6 million, and the number of cars per 100 people in that year was only 0.49. Although the per capita ownership is very low, it has increased by an order of magnitude compared with 1990.

After entering the new millennium, China’s economy has accelerated. From 2001 to 2012, the annual growth rate of China’s private car ownership was no less than 20%. In 2013, China’s private car ownership finally exceeded 100 million. From less than one million to more than 100 million, China has gone through 22 years, and the number of private cars has increased 123 times.

After exceeding 100 million, as the base becomes larger, the growth of ownership enters a relatively stable period. During 2012-2020, the annual growth rate does not exceed 20%, and the growth rate in 2019 and 2020 is even as low as single digits. At the end of 2020, the number of private cars reached 243 million, and the number of cars per 100 people reached 17, an increase of 4.3 times compared with 10 years ago and nearly 38 times compared with 2000.

almost every family in Beijing and Zhejiang has a car

By region, by the end of 2020, the number of private cars in 7 provinces and cities (Taiwan Province is not counted, the same below) had exceeded 10 million. Shandong and Guangdong, two economically strong provinces, rank in the top two, with more than 20 million vehicles. Qinghai, Hainan, Ningxia and Tibet, which rank at the bottom, have less than 2 million vehicles, of which only 525900 vehicles are in Tibet.

In terms of the growth rate of automobiles in all provinces in the past decade, the statistics of databao show that the growth rate of 18 provinces and cities exceeds the national average. The number of private cars in Jiangxi Province has increased by 8 times in the past 10 years, and that in Gansu, Anhui, Guangxi, Chongqing and Guizhou has increased by 7 times; The low base of the above-mentioned provinces is the main reason why the growth rate is much higher than that of other provinces and cities. In economically developed regions such as Guangdong, Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing, due to the huge base and the policy of restricting the purchase of urban car license sectors, the growth rate ranks at the bottom. For example, the growth rate of private car ownership in Beijing in the past 10 years is only 70%.

Shandong and Guangdong are populous provinces with a permanent resident population of more than 100 million, so it is not surprising that private cars rank first. in terms of per capita ownership, each province has more than 10 cars per 100 people. Zhejiang Province has the highest ownership rate, with 24 cars per 100 people. In addition, there are more than 20 cars per 100 people in 7 provinces such as Inner Mongolia, Beijing, Shandong and Hebei.

what is unusual is that Shanghai, as a first tier city, has less than 14 cars per 100 people, even lower than Xinjiang and Tibet, and a little stronger than Guizhou and other provinces. from the reasons behind, it mainly includes the following points: 1. Shanghai is the city with the earliest license sector auction policy in China. Since 1986, Shanghai has implemented the quota issuance of private car license sectors, while Beijing license sector lottery started in 2010; 2. According to the seventh census, the permanent resident population of Shanghai is 24.87 million, of which 10.48 million are from other provinces and cities, accounting for more than 40%.

From the family perspective, the total household car ownership is calculated by dividing the total private cars in the provinces by the total number of registered residence. Data treasure statistics show that each family in Beijing and Zhejiang has more than 0.9 cars, almost to the extent that every family has a car; Guangdong has 0.85 cars per household, and the car ownership per household is also quite high. There are 16 provinces in China with an average household car ownership of more than 0.5 vehicles, and Heilongjiang, Chongqing and Sichuan rank at the bottom.

each vehicle in the central and western regions has a high-speed mileage of more than 10 kilometers

Congestion has almost become synonymous with the annual Spring Festival transportation expressway. On the expressways in the Pearl River Delta circle, Yangtze River Delta circle and Beijing Tianjin Hebei circle, the vehicles congested during the Spring Festival transportation can even be lined up for dozens of kilometers. By the end of 2020, the total mileage of expressways in China has exceeded 160000 kilometers. Based on this calculation, the mileage of expressways owned by each vehicle in China is 6.6 kilometers.

Due to the uneven distribution of high-speed and cars, the high-speed mileage of cars in each province is very different. There are many high-speed mileage in the economically developed eastern region, but there are also many corresponding cars. The average mileage of rear high-speed is much lower than that in the western region.

by the end of 2020, there were 9 provinces, each with a high-speed mileage of more than 10 kilometers, most of which were in the central and western provinces, and only Jiangxi in the central and eastern provinces was on the list. specifically, private car owners in Qinghai are the happiest. Each car has a high-speed mileage of 31.83 kilometers, which is the only province with more than 30 kilometers. The high-speed mileage of each vehicle in Gansu, Guizhou, Xinjiang, Tibet, Ningxia and other central and western provinces exceeds 10 kilometers.

Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong each have the lowest high-speed mileage. These economically developed provinces are also frequent areas of high-speed congestion every year.
