We can see from the above that:
1. Guangdong is the largest market of new-energy buses and the market shares reach 5.67%, the same as last year.
2. The first six markets, including Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Beijing, Anhui and Liaoning, are the strategic fields of the government.
3. The total base number of new-energy buses is low, especially compared with conventional buses, but the trend in Jan.-May 2013 is strong.
4. Sales in the first 15 key markets rank 50.45% of the total, a little less than that of the same period (50.83%). 49.55% of the market opportunity in other 18 markets shows the distribution imbalance, still existing, is reducing.
5. The market shares in the first 15 markets are decreasing, which means the relative stability on one hand and the expansion of new-energy buses on the other hand.
6. The market shares in Shandong increase from 3.94% in Jan.-May 2012 to 5.07% in Jan.-May 2013, being the fastest, which proves the good sales in 2013.
Conclusion: the distribution markets of new-energy buses are unbalanced and market shares in key fields are decreasing. Sales in Shandong increase the most, so do the developed and policy-supported areas. Other markets are expanding.
