Carmakers to Face More Pain as Sales in China Keep Sliding (1)

Challenges mounting as economy slows, trade woes persist

With China’s slump, carmakers are left with few growth marketsBy Bloomberg News

(Bloomberg) –?Car sales in China continued to decline in January after their first full-year slump in more than two decades, adding to pressure on automakers who bet heavily on the market amid waning demand for cars from the U.S. to Europe.

Passenger vehicle wholesales fell 17.7 percent year-on-year, the?biggest drop?since the market began to contract in the middle of last year, while retail sales had their eight consecutive monthly decline, industry groups reported Monday.

“Downward pressure is still there,” Gu Yatao, a Beijing-based auto analyst with Roland Berger, said before the figures were released. “The government isn’t adopting stimulating policies to give the market a shot in the arm.”

The persisting slump leaves carmakers with few places to go for sales growth. The markets in Europe and North America are shrinking as the increasing availability of ride-hailing and car-sharing services makes it less necessary to own a car. Japan is sputtering too, while volumes in other smaller markets aren’t enough to offset the declines in the biggest sales regions.

The Future of Car Sharing Should Terrify the World’s Automakers

Sales in China continue to be suppressed as the world’s second-largest economy slows and negotiations with the U.S. for a trade-war truce drag on. Consumers stayed away from showrooms even with discounting by dealerships ahead of the Chinese New Year Holiday.

Historic Slump

The wholesale decline in January, to 2.02 million units, accelerated from a 15.8 percent slump in December, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said. For last year as a whole, the drop was 4.1 percent, the first decrease since the early 1990s.

Retail sales dropped 4 percent to 2.18 million units, China Passenger Car Association said.

The first half of 2019 will continue to see downward pressure, as a purchase-tax cut in effect in 2016 and 2017 prompted many consumers to purchase vehicles earlier than planned, and now have no need to buy, said?John Zeng, managing director of LMC Automotive Shanghai.
