China’s March vehicle production, sales volumes increase 4% y/y, 9.9% y/y, respectively
On April 10, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) announced China’s vehicle production and sales results for March 2024.
In March, a large number of new models were launched, and offline activities such as auto shows were successively held. Some regions introduced promotion policies such as trade-in policies to boost auto sales, both month-over-month (m/m) and year-over-year (y/y).
In Q1, China’s auto industry got off to a flying start, with production and sales volumes growing rapidly. Specifically, passenger vehicle (PV) and commercial vehicle (CV) market performance remained good; the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market maintained rapid growth and occupied a stable share of 30%; vehicle export volume stayed high; and Chinese brands continued to see an upward momentum and have a large market share.
According to the CAAM, at present, exports are an important growth driver, while insufficient domestic demand remains a prominent problem that needs to be addressed in 2024. It is hoped that the Chinese government will continue to offer the auto industry a favorable policy environment by promoting a new round of large-scale equipment renewal and the early refinement and implementation of policies and measures such as consumer goods trade-in to further arouse potential for auto consumption and stabilize the industry’s expectations.
In March, vehicle production and sales volumes totaled 2.687 million units and 2.694 million units, up 4% y/y and 9.9% y/y, respectively. Year-to-date (YTD) production and sales volumes were 6.606 million units and 6.72 million units, up 6.4% y/y and 10.6% y/y, respectively.
For PVs, production and sales volumes in March totaled 2.25 million units and 2.236 million units, up 4.7% y/y and 10.9% y/y, respectively. YTD production and sales volumes totaled 5.609 million units and 5.687 million units, up 6.6% y/y and 10.7% y/y, respectively.

China’s February vehicle production, sales volumes decrease 25.9% y/y, 19.9% y/y, respectively
On March 11, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) announced China’s vehicle production and sales results for February 2024.
As vehicle purchase demand was somewhat released before the Spring Festival, February vehicle production and sales volumes fell month-over-month. Year-to-date (YTD) passenger vehicle (PV) and commercial vehicle (CV) market performance maintained stability, and New Energy Vehicle (NEV) and vehicle exports remained good.
China’s 2024 Government Work Report specifies “consolidating and expanding the leading advantages of industries such as intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) and NEVs” as well as “boosting the consumption of commodities such as ICVs and NEVs”. The CAAM believes that the further refinement and implementation of relevant policies will continuously contribute to solidifying the trend of growing in a stable manner in China’s auto industry.
In February, vehicle production and sales volumes totaled 1.506 million units and 1.584 million units, down 25.9% and 19.9% y/y, respectively. YTD production and sales volumes were 3.919 million units and 4.026 million units, up 8.1% and 11.1% y/y, respectively.

For CVs, production and sales volumes in February totaled 233,000 units and 251,000 units, down 26.6% and 22.5% y/y, respectively. YTD production and sales volumes were 560,000 units and 575,000 units, up 9% and 14.1%, respectively.
For NEVs, production and sales volumes in February totaled 464,000 units and 477,000 units, down 16% and 9.2% y/y, respectively.

YTD NEV production and sales volumes totaled 1.252 million units and 1.207 million units, up 28.2% and 29.4% y/y, respectively. Specifically, BEV production and sales volumes totaled 771,000 units and 740,000 units, up 12.1% and 11.7% y/y, respectively; PHV production and sales volumes totaled 480,000 units and 467,000 units, up 66.5% and 72.8% y/y, respectively; and FCV production and sales volumes both totaled 1,000 units, up 243.9% and 180.2% y/y, respectively.

As for last year, in January 2023, affected by the Spring Festival holiday and with consumer demand partially overdrawn, coupled with the expiration of purchase tax incentives for conventional ICE vehicles and subsidy policies for New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), the performance of the auto market was lackluster, with production and sales volumes showing double-digit declines in both month-over-month (m/m) and year-over-year (y/y) terms.
