Group 2: Passenger Vehicle Insights - In 2024, domestic passenger vehicle wholesale sales increased by 6.3% to 27.191 million units. For Q1 2025, wholesale sales rose by 11.3% year-on-year but fell by 28.2% quarter-on-quarter to 6.277 million units [5]. - The competition in the domestic market is expected to intensify in the second half of 2024, with the "old-for-new" policy boosting support for new energy vehicles, leading to increased losses for joint venture brands due to slower electrification transitions [5]. - Domestic brands represented by Huawei, BYD, and Geely are expected to achieve sustained profitability through targeting the mid-to-high-end market and expanding overseas [5]. Group 3: Parts Segment Analysis - The automotive parts index is categorized into eight sub-sectors, with humanoid robots and flying cars seeing significant valuation increases due to the robotics theme. Other sub-sectors have experienced valuation declines due to downstream price pressures and short-term impacts from US-China tariff conflicts [6]. - The entry of various automakers and parts companies into the robotics sector is anticipated to lead to a revaluation of the parts segment, as vehicle technologies may be repurposed for robotics applications [6]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The outlook for domestic automotive sales in 2025 is optimistic, driven by the "old-for-new" policy, with a focus on monitoring order volumes and terminal discount changes [8]. - The synergy between intelligent driving and robotics is expected to continue, with a positive outlook for companies that have developed strong self-research capabilities in intelligent driving algorithms and chips, as well as those involved in the supporting robotics supply chain [8].
