Association: The auto market will surge by more than 20% in November.
The Federation said that there were 22 working days in November, which was consistent with the number of working days in the same period last year. In general, November is the third year’s sales volume, second only to December at the end of the year and January at the beginning of the year, while November 2022 is the eighth year’s sales volume, which leads to great potential for low base and high growth in November this year. What is particularly beneficial to the auto market is the rational decline of the high level of the property market in the past two years. The downward adjustment of the stock interest rate has eased the pressure on the original purchase consumption to squeeze the disposable income of families, and the income of residents’ investment in buying houses fluctuated greatly. As an optional consumer product, the car purchase consumption began to recover rationally, so the retail trend of the auto market in recent months has always exceeded expectations. With the gradual strengthening of the auto market, the confidence of auto companies in their efforts to achieve their annual goals has increased, and the auto market will surge by more than 20% in November.
