Part Five: Market share growth analysis of the RMB 0.3~0.9 million coach products in the Jan.-May of 2012
In the Jan.-May of 2011 & 2012, the sales of the RMB 0.3~0.9 million coach products are the biggest one among the overall large & medium bus & coach product, which both account for more than 60 percent in the large & medium bus & coach market sales. And their sales growth are also nearly 10.334 percent which are bigger than the sales growth of the other segment markets. The reason are following :
1. The condition of a country, such as the unbalanced economic development, different purchased capability make the purchasers who purchase the large & medium bus & coach product become limited in its funds and scale. So most of them only turn to purchase mid range & luxurious bus & coach products as a replace.
2. Though the luxurious coaches valuing above RMB 0.9 billion are with comfort, safety and high performance, their operation cost is rather high as well as the prices. For the luxurious coaches markets, it is hard to make money for the operation companies due to the operation cost. So its sales growth is limited.
3.Due to fast speed of the urbanization, the bus lines in the cities, and between the cities and the rural areas also develop better and better. And the bus & coach products in these lines are mainly mid range coach products. So the sales of the mid range coach products increase.
