Guangzhou Auto Show will be resumed from December 30th, 2022 to January 8th, 2023.

　　On December 13th, the organizing committee of Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition announced that in order to promote the smooth operation of the economy, boost industry confidence, stimulate consumption and accelerate the resumption of work and production, the 20th Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition in 2022 will be resumed from December 30th, 2022 to January 8th, 2023 on the premise of improving service quality, perfecting safeguard measures and refining emergency plans in multiple scenarios.

　　Behind the resumption of this "Guangzhou Auto Show", a positive signal is revealed: Guangzhou’s automobile consumption is expected to pick up further. As the first international A-class auto show held after the release of the "New Ten Articles on Epidemic Prevention and Control", this Guangzhou auto show is of great significance, which will greatly boost industry confidence, stimulate automobile consumption in Guangzhou and help Guangzhou’s economy rebound.

　　Last year, the 19th Guangzhou Auto Show reached 220,000 square meters, with 54 first cars and 24 new energy vehicles in the world, with a total of 1,020 cars on display, which attracted the attention at home and abroad. As one of the three major automobile exhibitions in China, Guangzhou Auto Show is known as the weather vane of the automobile market, which brings together automobile brands and enterprises at home and abroad and becomes the epitome of the vitality of the automobile industry in South China and even the whole country.

　　Behind this, it is revealed that Guangdong, as the largest automobile production and sales province in China, still plays an irreplaceable role. Automobile industry is an important pillar of Guangzhou’s economy. In 2021, the output of automobiles reached 2.96 million, and the total output value exceeded 610 billion yuan, ranking first in China for three consecutive years, accounting for 90% and 10% in Guangdong and China respectively.

　　According to the relevant data of Guangzhou Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, from January to October, the total retail sales of social consumer goods in the city was 861.85 billion yuan, up 3.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.1 percentage point higher than that in the previous three quarters. Automobile consumption continued to improve. The retail sales of automobile products above designated size in the city increased by 9.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.7 percentage points higher than that in the previous three quarters. Among them, the retail sales of new energy vehicles increased by 96.5% year-on-year, which was the "pillar" of Guangzhou’s stable consumer market in October.

　　Since the beginning of this year, Guangzhou has introduced a number of policies to stabilize growth and promote consumption, and held multi-frequency activities to promote consumption. The first resumption of Guangzhou Auto Show will not only stimulate Guangzhou’s automobile consumption in a short time, but also boost market confidence, give a "green light" to future market consumption, give full play to the driving role of automobile consumption, and bring new opportunities for Guangzhou’s economic recovery. After the continuous optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies, Guangzhou is expected to turn a new round of automobile consumption boom into a driving force for economic development, build a new consumption model, fully open up market vitality, promote the efficient operation of the consumer market, stimulate new engines and kinetic energy of consumption, and help economic recovery.
