Auto Care Association Factbook Includes Chinese Data

The recently-released Digital Auto Care Factbook 2015 and the Digital Auto Care Factbook & Lang Annual 2015 features information on China’s light passenger vehicle auto care market, the Auto Care Association said.

China’s light passenger vehicle parc reached a new milestone in 2013 breaking the 100 million unit level, ushering China into its “auto care era.” China’s auto care industry grew 19% in 2013 due to strong new vehicles sales, the association noted.

The association said despite new vehicle sales growing, vehicle aging has also occurred. The average age of China’s parc is still young at an estimated average age of 4.2 years versus the 11.4 in the United States, according to the Auto Care Association.

Association members have received a complimentary copy of the Digital Auto Care Factbook 2015 as well as three guest passes. Members can purchase additional copies at $200 and non-member can purchase it for $500. The Digital Auto Care Factbook & Lang Annual 2015 is also available for $650 to Auto Care Association members and $1,300 for non-members.
