The annual import volume is less than 30,000 units! After the disappearance of the land patrol hegemony, can parallel imports rise again?

Luxury car report

I sorted out the data of the parallel import industry since its birth 7 years ago, posted it for everyone to see, from this chart we can see that the total number of imported cars in the mainland in 2021 is 920,000 units, of which how many are parallel imports? 29,400 units.

That is to say, it is basically equal to a fraction of the total import volume, so what is the level of this import volume compared with previous years? Let me give you a look at the timeline of this chart.

First of all, let's look at 2015, the first year of parallel import whitewashing, the insurance company entered the game, solved its most headache for consumers after-sales warranty problems, began its crazy expansion, the first year of imports reached 79,000 units.

Compared with the import volume of 29,400 units in 2021, it is not too much to say that parallel imports were beaten back to 8 years ago by the national June 1st stick.

In the second year of the popularization of parallel imports, that is, from 2016 to 2019, the data was a basic disk of more than 100,000 units per year, of which 2018 fell slightly.

It is because this year is fighting a trade war with the United States, and the parallel imported cars originating in the United States have been increased to 40%, so the data has been slightly affected, but the problem is not big, just a small bump.

Parallel import market share is still stable at 12% market share, not bad, parallel import vehicles suffered a real critical hit began in 2020, China VI began to implement in the country.

Parallel imported cars directly did not get the National VI policy, all the vehicles arriving at the port were stranded in the port and could not be sold, so from 2020 to 2021, the entire industry has been looking up and down to find a way out, and under the efforts of various departments, it has finally begun to release customs clearance.

The normalization policy has also been obtained, it is reasonable to say that the joy of the big Pu Ben, the result is a shortage of chips, the global shortage of cars, it is really an impermanence of life, the large intestine package small intestine ah.

That was the worst of 2021, I am still looking forward to the performance of parallel import cars in 2022, the global chip supply should be alleviated, the arrival of the new Land Cruiser, the new Lexus LX600, the new Range Rover, and the Bentley Rolls-Royce and so on.

The annual import volume is bound to rebound sharply, although it is impossible to return to the peak period of 160,000 units in 2019, but the rebound to 60,000 units should not be a big problem, the higher the market share of parallel imported cars, the cheaper the corresponding Chinese cars in 4S stores.

Why did the market situation of BMW X7 increase by 100,000 in the first half of the year, and even a little discount in the second half of the year? It's not all because the parallel import version of the BMW X7 got customs clearance procedures in the second half of the year.

So ah, the healthy market is a competitive market, in 2022, I hope that the parallel imports of the Chinese standard will continue to fight ~ so that the big guys can buy a more cost-effective luxury car.

Well, today's topic of parallel imported cars, I will chat with you about this.
