Discussion background

　　The increasing growth of auto consumption provides more opportunities to the development of auto manufacturing and auto service sectors. China has become the largest new auto market in the world, and the demands of auto aftermarket are also increasing rapidly. Its market size has exceeded RMB 700 billion. The more fierce competition has moved the profits of auto industry to aftermarket segment from manufacturing segment. Aftermarket will become one of the pillars supporting the sustainable development of auto industry. Comparing with the mature auto markets in the world, Chinese auto aftermarket has been developing at a slow pace, due to the lack of completed policies and regulations, the large scale, the good brand images, the high maintenance and repairing levels, and the undeveloped auto finance and second-hand vehicle business etc.. The changes and innovations of the auto aftermarket are necessary and urgent.
