All-terrain vehicle manufacturing is one of China's fastest-growing export industries. Shipments in 2005 will approach US$500 million, up from US$300 million in 2003. Sales are forecast to continue rising with stable prices and the launch of more powerful models stimulating demand. All-terrain vehicle manufacturing in China is still in its infancy, but is already one of the country's fastest growing export industries, registering around a 20 percent increase in overseas shipments annually. The country exported an estimated US$300 million worth of ATVs in 2003 and shipments this year are expected to total almost US$500 million. Featuring an overview of the industry, as well as profiles of key manufacturers, this new report shows you how to profit from such expanding supply-market activity. As the popularity of ATVs grew, even makers from industries remotely related to the ATV sector joined the line. This has resulted in a supplier base that, at present, consists of established makers with strong backgrounds in motorcycle or scooter manufacturing and virtual start-ups whose only experience is in producing motorcycle or automotive parts such as shock absorbers and gears.
