CAAM pointed out that during the “May Day” period, some local governments and manufacturers provided temporary subsidies, and the “May Day” auto show also strongly promoted short-term market demand. This caused a surge in the market at the beginning of May, and it is expected that “May Day” orders will gradually be released, which is beneficial to the entire market in May.

It can be seen that under the joint promotion of the national and local consumption promotion policies and the recent offline activities such as auto shows, the overall active market atmosphere will accelerate the gathering of popularity. In addition, the demand growth during the “May Day” holiday, combined with the good consumption of car purchases, will help stabilize and repair the overall auto market.

In addition, in April 2023, the retail sales of passenger cars reached 1.63 million units, a year-on-year increase of 55.5%, and a month-on-month increase of 2.5%, which is also one of the only two times of month-on-month growth since 2010. Overall, the cumulative retail sales from January to April this year were 5.895 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 1.3%.
