Bentley: China sales overtaking US by 2012

China is becoming an increasingly important market for Bentley, expected to overtake US sales figures by 2012.

Bentley expects the luxury car market in China to grow stably in the coming years. Within four years, more Bentley cars are expected to sell in China than in the United States, the carmaker’s Chinese boss Zheng Biao said during a recent interview with Automotive News China.

China is currently the fifth biggest market for Bentley, accounting for roughly 10% of the carmaker’s sales. Bentley is hoping to sell more than 1,000 units annually in China by 2012, which would put it ahead of the U.S. in terms outright sales.
