Asian Passenger Car Sales for 2017
In 2017, the Asian automotive market exhibited various trends in car sales across different countries. Economic conditions, government policies, and changing consumer preferences played a role in shaping the sales figures.
China’s automotive industry maintained its position as the largest automobile market globally in 2017. Car sales continued to grow, although at a slower pace compared to previous years, with only 1.4% growth for the full year. The growth rate moderated due to factors such as government restrictions on vehicle ownership in major cities, changes in the regulatory environment, and a shift in consumer preferences towards electric and hybrid vehicles.
