This line graph shows the market share of partial brands in domestic car market in 2008 and 2009, which has aroused great concern. In general, the figures reveal that the number of homebred brand cars sold during 2008 and 2009 increased dramatically, while the number of Japanese brand cars decreased greatly during that period. The number of American brand cars remained at relatively smooth level
In 2008, the percent of Japanese brand cars was about 35%. However it decreased sharply from 35% to 30% in 2009. On the contrary, the number of homebred brand cars increased rapidly between 2008 and 2009, rising from 25% to about 35%. While the number of American brand cars remained at about 10% stably.
It"s not difficult to arrive at some possible factors that are directly responsible for those changes above. The most important factor that needs to be highlighted here is that more and more people support domestics. What"s more, the manufacturing technology of domestic automobile is continually improved. One more factor, though not conclusive, that should also be brought into attention is that the prices of homebred brand cars have come down. Just with many other things, it"s not easy to reverse the changes that have already taken place. Therefore, I predict that the current situation will continue for a short while.
