- In 2014, China's automobile production will grow by over 10% and will remain the world's largest producer. Nine leading groups stand out and account for 70% of China's automobile production representing 15.5 million units in 2014.

- However, these nine manufacturers can be classified into three distinct groups: leaders (VW and GM), one follower (Hyundai-Kia) and finally a squad composed of Changan (only Chinese manufacturer in the top 9), Toyota, Renault-Nissan, Honda, Ford and PSA.

- By themselves, VW (with nearly 30 models produced) and GM (with nearly 20 models, including GM Wuling) will exceed 7.5 million cars produced in China in 2014, i.e. one-third of the Chinese production of PC.

- The Hyundai-Kia group benefits from its proactive policy of opening plants and increasing its local production capacity (nearly 2 million cars produced in 2014) probably at the expense of Japanese manufacturers.

- The next six manufacturers represent between 0.8 and 1.2 million cars manufactured this year.

- However, the analysis of market shares shows that VW is increasing while most other manufacturers maintain their market share. This means that production volumes are increasing following the pattern of the local market without really standing out or taking market share from their competitors.
