The near-term outlook for China is less gloomy than for our previous forecast a consequence of modest tax cuts for passenger car purchases introduced by the government as a short-term economic stimulus. Our global sales forecast for full-year 2015 is set at 86.74 million units, up by 0.5%, a mild upgrade compared with our previous forecast. This figure represents the lowest rate of growth in six years, with a mixed picture for global demand mature markets generally remaining in recovery or growth mode, while many emerging markets are struggling to maintain auto sales momentum. Until the end of the forecast horizon in 2021, global light vehicle sales are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 2.6% to approach 103 million units. 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% 0.0% Year-on-year change 14
