In 2014, China's auto market became the eye-catching highlight in terms of boosting the weak macroeconomic. Recently China Association of Automobile Manufacturers released data, in 2014 China car sales volume is 23,491,900, an increase of 6.9 percent for six consecutive years, ranking first in the world.

In 2014, the traditional automotive industry flourished, despite the Chinese government introduced a number of intensive car-related policies and measures, such as the policy supporting for development of new energy vehicles, the special activities to implement the provisions of the Auto three guarantee, anti-monopoly investigation, car sales management approach revisions and so on.

In recent years, China's auto consumption market has developed dramatically, winning the title of world's largest auto market for several years. In just a dozen years, China's car ownership increased by more than thirty times. If 2000 is regarded as the first year of a private car into Chinese households, it takes just 14 years that luxury car turns consumer goods in China.

China introduced many policies such as tax cuts, to stimulate demand for cars and economic growth. In the process of urbanization, the automobile production and consumption, is also expected to play an important role.
