The report was followed by a review of each department's report and work over the year by Ms. Huang Yaojun, Deputy Chairman of the Group, who affirmed the work of each department in the first half of the year, pointed out the shortcomings in their work and also analysed the market trend.
The three-year epidemic brought a lot of inconvenience to our work and life, especially after the national epidemic control policy was liberalised at the end of 2022, and the short-lived outbreak made us feel the impact of the epidemic, including the threat to life. The "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" season of previous years was "cold" in 2022. On the one hand, the liberalisation of the epidemic across the country caused a certain impact on both the supply and consumer purchase of car; On the other hand, due to the economic situation, residents' income expectations have been lowered and the confidence of the middle and lower income first-time buyer groups in consumption has been sluggish.
Looking ahead to the new year, under the influence of favourable factors such as the liberalisation of epidemic prevention and control, the gradual recovery of chip supply, as well as policy support and auto exports, the auto market will be generally positive in 2023. However, the macroeconomic recovery will still face greater resistance in 2023 due to factors such as the international political and economic situation, rising commodity prices and an ageing population. Although the relaxation of epidemic control will bring some stimulating effect to the economy, it will take some time for the epidemic to stabilise and recover of consumer confidence. Moreover, policies such as the purchase tax reduction in 2022 have led to some consumption already been released early in 2022, with dealers ending the year with high inventories and pressure to destock in 2023. The CCA forecasts total vehicle sales of 27.6 million units in 2023, up 3% year-on-year; of which 23.8 million passenger cars, up 1.3% year-on-year; 3.8 million commercial vehicles, up 15% year-on-year; and 9 million new energy vehicles, up 35% year-on-year, with new energy penetration further increasing to 32.6%. 2023 will be a challenging year, as the general environment is still under pressure.
