Guoyuan Securities believes that as subsidies are phased out and the intense competition eases, the auto industry is focusing on market share, profitability, and technological advancement. Both domestic and export markets are equally important. The firm suggests looking past the downward pressure in the first half of the year to focus on the long-term growth of companies with strong product capabilities and the empowering role of technology in the automotive sector.
