China produces $4 billion car audio and video products a year. The low-cost and high-quality products offer good choices for consumers throughout the world.

While international big brands still dominate the Chinese car electronics market, local manufacturers have proved their ability in the fields of car audio and video products. They offer car DVD players with good quality and low prices.

Car Electronics in China

The value of the car electronics market in China reached 140.5 billion yuan ($20.6 billion) in 2008. The car electronics market increased 29.1% in 2005, 32.0% in 2006, and 40.1% in 2007.
