DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f6952d/chinas_automotive) has announced the addition of the "China's Automotive Distribution Industry Report, 2011-2012" report to their offering.
With the rapid growth of the automotive market, China is also accelerating the development of the automotive distribution industry. According to statistics of the Ministry of Commerce and China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), in 2010 there were over 60,000 automotive distributors in China, including 15,000 4S stores, of which 1,700 were newly added for that year alone.
China's automotive distribution industry has displayed two characteristics:
Automotive distributors show pretty obvious regional traits, which, however, with the distributors' continuous expansion, will gradually wear off.
China's large-scale automotive distributors are mainly concentrated in economically developed eastern, northern and southern regions, each with 1-2 large leading distributors, such as Pangda Group in Hebei, Yaxia Automobile in Anhui, and Grand Orient in Wuxi, Jiangsu.
However, along with the continuous expansion of automotive distributors, the regional traits will be gradually diluted, e.g., Zhejiang Material Industrial Zhongda Yuantong Group Co., Ltd., based on Zhejiang market, has established 4 stores beyond Zhejiang since 2011, in Guiyang, Chengdu and Xi'an for instance; while ZhengTong Group, based on Hubei, Hunan and Inner Mongolia markets, has extended its distribution network to Qingdao of Shandong, Nanchang of Jiangxi, and Shenzhen of Guangdong, etc. in 2011.
