  • Development & Policy Forecast for Global and Chinese NEV Markets
    Development & Policy Forecast for Global and Chinese NEV Markets in 2021 Invited by China EV 100, officials and experts from domestic and foreign government agencies, industry associations, research institutions and businesses attended the 7th China EV 100 Forum in January 15-17, 2021. The summary below captures the observations and insight of the speakers at the forum on the industry trend and policy forecast in the world and China in 2021. Ⅰ. 2021 Global & China Auto Market Trend 1. In 2021, the global auto market may resume growth, and the NEV boom is set to continue. 2020 saw a prevalent downturn of the auto sector in major countries due to the onslaught of COVID-19, yet the sales of NEVs witnessed a spike despite the odds, with much greater penetration in various countries. The monthly penetration of electric vehicles in Germany jumped from 7% to 20% in half a year and is expected to hit 12% in 2020, up 220% year on year; Norway reported an 80% market share of EVs in November, which is projected to exceed 70% for the whole year, topping the global ranking. Multiple consultancy firms foresee a comeback of global sales growth and a continuance of NEV boom in 2021 as coronavirus eases. 2. China's auto market as a whole is expected to remain stable in 2021, 1 with a strong boost in NEV sales. In 2020, China spearheaded global NEV market growth with record sales of 1.367 million units. The Development Research Center of the State Council expects overall auto sales to grow slightly in 2021, which ranges 0-2%.

We see three Geely Automobile Holdings (175 HK)– BUY HKD12.00 key trends in China’s PV market over the next three years: 1. Local brands to expand market share; 2. EV sales to grow at a higher pace vs fuel cars; 3. SUVs to continue to lead the market. China’s PV sales and growth rate on the uptrend Our sector Top Pick is Geely on its improved model portfolio and good synergy with Volvo. We also initiate coverage on BYD and GWM with NEUTRAL recommendations. Our sector call is NEUTRAL. We initiate coverage on China’s auto manufacturers with a NEUTRAL weighting. We expect passenger vehicles and minibus (collectively known as PV) sales in 2017/2018 to grow by 5%/3% respectively, slowing from 7%/15% registered in 2015/2016 respectively. This is as due to the diminishing effects of purchase tax discounts on cars with 1.6L displacement and below, to 25% starting 2017 from 50% in Oct 2015. Note that part of 2017’s PV sales were pre- sold in 2016, and part of PV sales in 2018 would be partially pre-sold in 2017.
