China Youth Daily client Beijing, January 12 (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network reporter Wang Lin) reporter just obtained from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology data show that in 2021, China brand passenger car cumulative sales of 9.543 million units, an increase of 23.1% year-on-year, market share of 44.4%, an increase of 6 percentage points year-on-year; automobile exports of 2.015 million units, an increase of 1 times, a record high.

"2021 is an extraordinary year in the history of the development of China's automobile industry." Wang Weiming, director of the First Department of Equipment Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that under the severe situation of the continuous evolution of the global epidemic and the tight supply of automobile chips, China's automobile production and sales in 2021 will be 26.082 million and 26.275 million vehicles, respectively, an increase of 3.4% and 3.8% year-on-year, ending the downward trend for three consecutive years, and contributing to the sustained recovery and development of China's industrial economy and stable macroeconomic growth.
