報告顯示 中國車市將成全球動力

China's automotive market is likely to remain the primary source of growth for the globAl industry in the foreseeable future, with self-driving cars gaining more market share, research indicates.

研究表明，隨着自動駕駛汽車獲得更多市場份額，在可預見的未來，中國汽車市場很可能仍將是全球汽車行業增長的主要動力。

The country's auto market rebounded in 2016 from an earlier period of slow growth, with 22.8 million cars sold, according to a report by global management consulting firm McKinsey & Co.

全球管理諮詢公司麥肯錫的一份報告顯示，2016年，中國汽車市場從此前的低速增長中復甦，銷量達2280萬輛。

Although sales are expected to increase by a relatively modest 5% every year through 2022, this will nonetheless equal 53% of total growth in the global market, the report said.

報告稱，雖然從現在至2022年，預計中國汽車市場年銷量增長率將維持在相對不溫不火的5%，但這已經佔到了全球市場總增長的53%。

"In other words, one out of every three new cars sold in the world will be sold in China. The US and European markets, by contrast, will either stagnate or contract during this period," it said.

該報告指出：“換言之，全球每三輛售出的新車中就有一輛在中國售出。相比之下，同時期美國和歐洲市場將不是停滯就是收縮。”

"China will remain a must-win market for car brands in the foreseeable future," said Paul Gao, senior partner and head of McKinsey's automotive practice in Asia. "As Chinese consumers continue to become more sophisticated, automakers must reinvent their success formulas to surprise and delight them."

麥肯錫汽車業務亞洲區負責人、資深合夥人高旭表示：“在可預見的未來，中國仍將是汽車品牌勢在必得的市場。隨着中國消費者變得更加精明，汽車製造商必須重新設計他們的成功法則，以取悅並使消費者感到驚喜。”

It's estimated that the number of self-driving cars in China, the United States and EU -- the three primary markets -- will reach about 81 million by 2030, according to a report by global consulting firm Strategy&.

根據全球諮詢公司思略特的一份報告顯示，據估計，到2030年，中國、美國和歐盟三個主要市場的自動駕駛汽車的數量將達到約8100萬輛。

China would own more than 40 percent, the largest share among those markets, it said.

該報告稱，中國將擁有超過40%的市場份額，這也是上述三個市場中最大的份額。
