Core superiorities of the show – relying on amazing domestic auto industrial development and strong developing auto consumption In recent years, China's auto industry has made outstanding achievements in the world. Since 2006 when China became the second largest auto market of the world, China's auto industry underwent a leap development in 2007, auto output in 2007 was 8,880,000 vehicles, increased by 21.98% over the previous year; and sales amount reached 8,790,000 vehicles, up by 21.8% over the previous year. Moreover, today, the average car ownership per thousand persons is less than 30 in China, so it lags far behind the average car ownership of 120 cars per thousand in the world. All those present a huge development potential on China's auto market. It could be predicted that China's auto industry would maintain a fast growing trend in the coming 20 years. As a host auto exhibition site located at the China's most economically developed region, it enjoys two unique superiorities – auto making center and auto consumer center in South China region. Auto Making – Guangzhou, China's auto Detroit Guangzhou is the only city in China to own 3 complete car projects of the 3 world-class Japanese automakers. In 2006, Guangzhou's sedan output volume reached 500,000, ranking second in China; and above scaled automakers completed an output value of 116.223 billion yuan. "3-system and 4-group" for Guangzhou's auto parts producing enterprises have taken shape, thus providing complete industrial chain support for complete car production.
