Automotive industry weekly: medium term growth + short-term reversal continued to be optimistic about parts

Zhou’s view: continue to be optimistic about independent rise + electric intelligence + motorcycle

Great changes have taken place in automotive intelligent and electric, reshaping the industrial order, and looking forward to the golden decade of the automotive industry. At present, the market is too pessimistic about terminal demand and has poor expectations. China Automobile Association released the production and sales data of passenger cars in December 2021. With the ease of core shortage, the output accelerated, and the retail chain was + 16%. Under the mismatch of supply and demand, some demand lags behind. The inventory building in November and December lays the foundation for the impulse at the end of the year. It is expected that the demand will further increase after the discount is enlarged; The sales of new energy passenger vehicles continued to rise, with monthly sales of nearly 500000 vehicles. This year’s automobile market will be a beta resonance market.
