1. This week's car market overview:
1. 32 passenger car market retail starts better in February
Due to the merger of data statistics at the end of the month, the current data and analysis continue to the previous week.
htmlThe passenger car market performed strongly in the first week of March (1-8), with an average daily retail sales of 16,700 units per day, a year-on-year growth rate decreased by 50%. Sales volume recovered significantly in the first week.3 The passenger car market's retail recovery in the second week of March (9-15th) is relatively stable. In the second week, the average daily retail sales were 21,700 units per day, a year-on-year growth rate decreased by 44%. Sales volume recovered significantly in the second week.
3 The passenger car market's retail recovery in the third week of March (16-22nd). On the third week, the average daily retail sales were 25,800 units per day, a year-on-year growth rate decreased by 40%. Sales recovered faster overall in the third week.
Retail sales fell 61% year-on-year in the last week of February this year. , the year-on-year decrease of 50% in the first week of March, the year-on-year decrease of 44% in the second week, and the third week of March, reflecting that the auto market retail has improved steadily month-on-month.
Judging from the recovery progress, the phenomenon of explosive growth in demand is not prominent, and the current sales, which is rapidly increasing week by week, is still stable year-on-year. Although the government plans to introduce a stimulus policy for the auto market, the actual implementation of policies in some cities is expected to take effect until April, and the effect of the policy start-up period is generally not very outstanding, and the effect of the last bus before the policy exits will not be obvious. Although some cities have encouraged the restoration of normal order, it is difficult for consumers to buy cars to return to normal by the end of March. In addition, students have basically not started school, so it is difficult for a strong demand for car purchases to explode in the short term.
2. The demand for passenger cars this month has gradually recovered
Due to the merger of data statistics at the end of the month, the current data and analysis continue to the previous week.
html Passenger car dealers' purchases rebounded strongly in the first week of March (1-8th), with an average manufacturer sales of 12,600 units per day on the first week, a year-on-year growth rate decreased by 68%. The overall sales of manufacturers in the first week recovered significantly. htmlOn the day of the second week of March, the average manufacturer sales volume was 15,700 units, a year-on-year decrease of 67%, and a small improvement from the first week's year-on-year decrease of 68%. htmlOn the third week of March, the average manufacturer sales volume was 24,000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 53%, a significant improvement from the second week of the manufacturer's sales. html The wholesale in March 1-3 weeks reached an average of 17,200 units per day, but the retail sales reached 21,200 units, and the gap between wholesale and retail was large. However, the retail recovery did not exceed expectations, and the inventory of the corresponding retail period seemed to be quite low, which made dealers lack confidence in purchasing goods. In addition, some Hubei companies have not resumed production effectively, and the problem of local out-of-stock is also reflected.Since most manufacturers began to resume assessments and rewards in March, the frequency of strengthening purchases should be relatively gradually restored to normal.
3. State Council meeting has multiple policies to promote automobile consumption
Premier Li Keqiang presided over the State Council Executive Meeting on March 31, and determined to issue a batch of local government special bond quotas in advance to drive the expansion of effective investment; deploy strengthening financial support for small and medium-sized enterprises; and demanding to increase the intensity of relevant subsidy policies for disadvantaged groups.
In order to promote automobile consumption, the meeting determined that the first thing is to extend the purchase subsidy and exemption of purchase tax policy for two years. Second, the central government adopts rewards instead of subsidies to support key areas such as Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to eliminate diesel trucks with national emission standards of National III and below. Third, for used car dealers to sell used cars, value-added tax will be levied at a reduced rate of 0.5% of sales from May 1 to the end of 2023.
The core of these policies is to promote environmental protection upgrades, improve the environment, and at the same time effectively promote the sustainable development of the future automobile market. In particular, promoting the sustainable development of new energy vehicles is a long-term favorable policy. We cannot ignore long-term benefits because the short-term impact is not great.
4. Beijing’s efforts to eliminate and update cars can be greater
According to reports, the Beijing Municipal People’s Government Office on issuing the “Beijing’s Plan for Further Promoting the Elimination and Update of High-Emission Old Motor Vehicles (2020-2021)”. I think this is good news for the auto market.High-emission old motor vehicles refer to national III emission standard gasoline passenger cars and gasoline trucks registered in Beijing. The current ownership level is 233,000 units, accounting for about 4% of the total ownership in Beijing. Most of them should be exchanged, and they should be worth 50 billion. However, Beijing's National III was implemented very early, and the actual number of ownership was low. If you change the purchase, the pull effect will be greater.
The truck subsidy this time is relatively good, reaching 14,000 yuan, which is better than the 8,000 yuan subsidy last time. The main reason is that there are fewer micro-car models, and the trucks are using cars at a high frequency, pollution, and the willingness to change cars is low. Therefore, this time, the subsidy for trucks has been greatly increased.
Beijing began to implement the National III emission standards on December 30, 2005, and Beijing's motor vehicles implemented the National IV standards on March 1, 2008, with a total time of about two years and two months. Therefore, the implementation of the National III standard in Beijing is very short, and in order to welcome the Olympics, the implementation of the National IV is very strong.
Beijing light-duty new car National V emissions were implemented on February 1, 2013. The National IV model spans nearly 5 years, and the sales volume was very high in the first half of the five years.
And if the update and replacement of the National IV model before 2010 is promoted, its effect of driving consumption should be very good. In 2018, the total amount of scrapped, renewed and transferred units in Beijing was only 430,000 units, which was lower than the level in 2017 and much lower than the level in 2015. It is also the main incentive for exchange and upgrades to drive consumption.
5. Channel inventory fell by 6 days from January to February 2020
In 2020, the National Bureau of Statistics announced that the turnover days for finished products inventory of manufacturing enterprises was 29.7 days. We estimate that passenger car channel inventory in 2019 fell by 6 days compared with the end of 2019, and the inventory status is relatively low.
In recent years, China's passenger car market has shown a relatively sluggish situation. Coupled with the pressure of destocking, car companies feel difficult. Against the backdrop of the radical implementation of the National VI standard in 2019, automobile production, sales and retail showed drastic changes in 2019, and channel inventory showed fluctuations and changes, which significantly decreased. In 2020, due to the influence of the Spring Festival factors, inventory has been further reduced. Inventory affected by the epidemic after the holiday did not recover effectively, but retail recovered relatively smoothly and channel inventory was relatively low. Therefore, the market price is relatively stable and the supply and demand are relatively balanced.
