In 2017, transactions of used automobile increase by 19.3% year on year to 12.4 million and total value reached over RMB 800 billion.

The reform of automobile circulation system was pushed ahead. The Ministry of Commerce promulgated the Regulatory Measures for Automobile Sales, and broke the unitary system of brand-licensed sales.
