The impact of negative factors such as chip and raw material prices on China’s auto market is not obvious. Timely replenishment after out of stock drives China’s auto market to perform well on a global scale. It is expected that entering June, the demand for car purchases suppressed by the epidemic will be further released, and the market demand will continue to increase.
According to the calculation of the agency, every 1 yuan of value added in the automobile manufacturing industry can drive the value-added of upstream and downstream related industries by 2.64 yuan, which is indispensable to the stability of the macroeconomic market. According to the previous estimates of the Association of Passenger Transport Associations, the policy is expected to boost the retail sales of automobiles by 13 percentage points, which will positively boost the growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods by about 1.3 percentage points; An increase of 10 percentage points will positively boost the growth rate of the overall industrial added value by about 0.3 percentage points.
