Abstract

At the end of the 20th century, China has been the world’s largest auto market. Many foreign auto giants entered the Chinese market and set up joint ventures with local Chinese companies. Suzuki is one of these companies. But Suzuki’s sales have been declining since 2016. In the end, Suzuki sold all of its shares in China, meaning that Suzuki Motor was entirely out of the Chinese market. This essay uses the research methods of focus group, case study, and analysis. The following results were obtained. For the current situation of the automobile industry, from a macro point of view, the Chinese market is still in a state of great space. However, on the other hand, it is also subject to policy constraints, such as number rocking and number restriction. Looking at the development of car enterprises, there is still a big gap between Chinese car enterprises and foreign car enterprises. Throughout the decades of Suzuki’s development history in China, the product line is too single, and the model update is slow, and there is no model that consumers like to see. There is no doubt that the wave of car electrification has swept the world and has become an irreversible trend. To solve the problem of Suzuki’s losing market, Suzuki must vigorously develop new energy technologies. Because history has told Suzuki to stick to the traditional market, it is ineffective. The conclusions are significant for enterprises to position themselves well and negotiate with customers.
