Analysis of the Major Players Operating in the Chinese Automotive Industry.

DUBLIN, Ireland--July 20, 2006--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39613) has announced the addition of China Automobile Industry Forecast (2006-2010) to their offering.

In the past 5 years, China's automotive industry has seen a phenomenal growth. This growth was expected from a country whose economy has been growing steadily since the last 15 years and who has a vast base of consumers. The major focus of this report is to look into the dynamics that is shaping up the Chinese automotive industry and then to assess what holds for its players in the near future.

Our research has observed that China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement in the year 2001 gave a major thrust to its automotive industry. The industry, which was growing at the rate of around 12% prior to the signing of the agreement, peaked to levels of around 40% within 2 years. This research work suggests that the unpredictability of the Chinese consumer is a major concern for the manufacturers. The Chinese customer is not known for brand loyalty and the falling prices of the products have further added to their unpredictability.

Our research analysts have found that the passenger car and the automotive component segments will be the major contributors in the future growth of the industry. Domestic producers are steadily building an export market for the commercial vehicles and it is likely to grow in future.
