Chinese car manufacturing - Indigenous brands struggle to export

Summary

Synopsis


Reasons To Buys

- Exporting overseas will be a tough task given the historic differences between expectations of Chinese consumers and those from wealthy nations. However, the gap is closing and now brands such as Trumpchi are preparing to launch on the market in the United States.
- The level of consolidation in the Chinese car making industry is holding back development. Companies are not achieving the scale required to take on leading global manufacturers despite the favorable conditions imposed by the government.
