On August 3, the latest “Auto Dealer Inventory Warning Index Survey” VIA released by the China Automobile Dealers Association showed that in July 2026, the car dealer inventory warning index was 61.1%, up 3.9 percentage points from the previous year and 3.9 percentage points from the previous month. The inventory warning index was above the boom and bust line. Dealers expect that in August, the auto market is expected to continue to operate weakly during the off-season. High temperatures and intense heat in most parts of the country curb offline passenger flow, and consumer wait-and-see sentiment will not improve significantly. However, the concentrated release of demand for car purchases during the graduation season and school season has a certain driving effect on market demand, and sales are expected to be better than July.
