China's automobile industry has been in rapid development since the early 1990s. In 2009, China produced 13.79 million passenger cars. Of these, 44% are local brands , the rest being produced by joint ventures with foreign car makers such as Volkswagen, General Motors, Hyundai, and India The automobile industry in India is the ninth largest in the world with an annual production of over 2.3 million units in 2008. In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of automobiles, behind Japan, South Korea and Thailand.[4]
