According to the latest survey conducted by the China Automobile Dealers Association, the inventory alert index for Chinese auto dealers stood at 56.2% in February 2026. This figure represents a year-on-year decrease of 0.7 percentage points and a month-on-month decline of 3.2 percentage points. Despite these reductions, the index remains above the threshold that separates market prosperity from recession, signaling a sluggish market environment and sustained operational pressures for dealers.
