View update this week

The rise and fall of the industry this week is relatively in the middle and lower level of the whole industry. Recently, the national epidemic has shown a point like outbreak trend. As of April 8, 2022, the number of newly confirmed cases in Shanghai, Changchun and other places in a single day has also remained high. These two cities are important production bases of China’s automobile industry. The outbreak of the epidemic has also caused relevant enterprises to stop production, which will have a great impact on the supply of some finished automobiles and related parts and components. Superimposed on the impact of automobile supply side, the rise of raw material prices, the rise of vehicle prices or the narrowing of concessions, the weak demand and the weakening of consumers’ confidence in buying cars all limit the profit space of dealers. In April, due to the intensification of epidemic control, many auto shows were delayed or cancelled, and the launch of new cars was delayed, which also had a certain impact on sales. If the epidemic situation is controlled in mid and late April, the backlog of market demand in the short term will be released rapidly. It is expected that the sales volume in April is slightly better than that in the same period last year.
