2009 is a landmark year in the automobile history of China. In the context of the global economic crisis, China auto market has become the world’s largest auto market, with 13.64 million cars sold in the whole year, an increase of 46%; Independent brands have developed rapidly, with the market share of passenger cars reaching 44% and that of cars reaching 30%. In 2009, I visited more than 15 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, visited more than 200 dealers and dozens of suppliers, and combined with my understanding of China’s economic development, I can make a judgment: First, the automobile market can grow rapidly for at least 20 years, and it is conservatively predicted that the sales volume will reach 20 million vehicles in 2020; Second, for independent brands, within five years, in the A-class and below automobile market, autonomy will dominate; Five years later, in the B-class and below automobile market, autonomy and joint venture will be equally divided, and 10 years later, autonomy will dominate the China market.
