China Commercial Vehicle (Bus & Truck) Industry Re

Dublin, Oct. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "China Commercial Vehicle (Bus & Truck) Industry Report, 2017-2021" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering. In 2016, China produced 3.6981 million commercial vehicles with a yr-on-yr rise of 8.0%, and sold 3.6513 million units, up 5.8% from a year earlier. In H1 2017, China's output and sales volume of commercial vehicle reported 2.043 million units and 2.1009 million units, respectively, surging by 13.8% and 17.4% year on year. The growth rates rose by 12.3 percentage points and 15.5 percentage points, respectively.

Of commercial vehicle, truck and bus markets performed differently. In 2016, truck production and sales in China grew 11.2% and 8.8% separately, and in H1 2017 truck production and sales at home surged 18.7% and 22.6% respectively. Yet, bus production and sales both showed a downward trend, dropping 7.4% and 8.7% respectively in 2016, and falling 15.3% and 14.0% separately in H1 2017. In the upcoming years, upgrading of emission standards, policy dividend and market demand will bring vast development room for the truck market. Specifically, the center axle vehicle models that meet new national standard GB1589-2016 will be promoted further; the sales volume of 64 tractor shoots up thanks to nationwide management of overloads; the full implementation of national V emission standards urges logistics users to replace freight vehicle; the debut of FOTON's and SINOTRUK's self-driving trucks will stimulate the application of artificial intelligence and mobile internet technologies in heavy truck; and the rapid development of express delivery industry has new demand for light and medium trucks and pure electric logistics vehicle for city distribution. Affected by subsidy reduction for new energy vehicle, the higher technical threshold as well as competition from high-speed rail and other factors, the bus market is still facing drastic fall in the future. On the other hand, the networking of city buses and the substitution of new energy vehicle still give impetus to the bus industry. The competition pattern of commercial vehicle brands remains stable relatively in China, with high market concentration. In 2016, the top 10 bus manufacturers in China seized a combined 71.47% market share, and the top 5 bus manufacturers held 49.58% market shares; the top 10 truck manufacturers accounted for 67.56% of total truck sales in China, and the top 5 truck manufacturers made up about 46.01% of total truck sales.

In the bus market, Yutong Bus and Xiamen King Long Motor have seen robust development of product lines (light, medium, large buses) in an all-round way and steadily ranked the top list in the industry, with companies like JMC, Jinbei and Foton ranking the top five by dint of light vehicle quantities in the market. In the truck field, FOTON and Dongfeng Motor ranked the top two by sales volume due to rich product mix, and SAIC-GM-Wuling ranked the third by absolute superiority in the mini truck market.
