Autohome is an online destination for automobile consumers in China, ranking first among automotive service platforms in terms of mobile daily active users as of December 31, 2020 according to QuestMobile. Through its two websites, autohome.com.cn and che168.com, it delivers comprehensive, independent and interactive content and tools to automobile consumers as well as a full suite of services to automakers and dealers across the auto value chain.
According to iResearch, the Group was the largest online automotive advertising and leads generation service provider with a 29.9% market share, in terms of media services and leads generation revenue, in China's online auto vertical media advertising and leads generation market in 2019. The Group generates revenues from media services, leads generation services and online marketplace and others.
The Group began in 2008 as a content-led vertical media company focusing on media services. In 2016, it launched "4+1" strategic transformation initiative, building a platform that covers "auto contents," "auto transactions," "auto financing" and "auto lifestyle" to transform and upgrade from a content-led vertical company to a data and technology-driven automotive platform.
Since 2018, it has focused on developing a full suite of intelligent products and solutions with artificial intelligence ("AI"), big data and cloud technologies (collectively, "ABC") to build an integrated ecosystem that connects all participants in the auto industry by providing end-toend data-driven products and solutions across the value chain. Going forward, it plans to continue leveraging "software as a service" (SaaS) capabilities together with its core AI, big data, and cloud technologies to expand both horizontally and vertically.
