TuanChe ADR
Company Overview
History and Background
TuanChe, founded in 2010, operates as an omnichannel automotive marketplace in China. It connects car buyers with dealers through auto shows and online platforms, aiming to streamline the car purchasing process. The company went public in 2018.
Core Business Areas
- Offline Events: Organizes and hosts auto shows in various cities across China, providing a platform for car dealers to showcase their vehicles and interact with potential customers.
- Online Marketplace: Operates an online platform where users can browse cars, compare prices, and connect with local dealers. The platform offers various tools and resources to facilitate car purchasing decisions.
Leadership and Structure
The leadership team consists of the CEO, CFO, and other key executives. The organizational structure includes departments for event operations, online platform development, sales, marketing, and finance.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Auto Shows: TuanChe's core offering is its auto shows, which generate revenue through booth rentals from dealers and commissions on car sales made at the shows. The company claims to host more than 100 auto shows per year pre-covid. Competitors include other regional and national auto show organizers. Data is unavailable to accurately calculate its market share in the auto show segment.
- Online Marketplace: The online platform generates revenue through advertising and lead generation fees from dealers. The online marketplace is also currently under-developed. Key competitors include Autohome (ATHM) and Bitauto (BITA), which are much larger players in China's online automotive marketplace. TuanChe's market share is currently negligible.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The automotive retail industry in China is highly competitive, with a mix of traditional dealerships and online marketplaces. The market is experiencing a shift towards online channels as consumers increasingly use the internet for research and car purchases.
Positioning
TuanChe aims to bridge the gap between online and offline car shopping by combining auto shows with an online platform. It targets consumers in smaller cities and rural areas where access to traditional dealerships may be limited.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The total addressable market for automotive retail in China is substantial, valued at hundreds of billions of dollars. TuanChe is positioned to capture a share of this market by focusing on lower-tier cities and offering a combined online and offline approach. However, their success is highly dependent on their online platform's ability to generate traffic and conversions.

Competitive Landscape
TuanChe faces significant competition from larger and more established online automotive marketplaces. The company's competitive advantages include its presence in lower-tier cities and its combined online and offline model. Disadvantages include smaller brand recognition and weak financials.
Growth Trajectory and Initiatives
Historical Growth: Historical growth has been inconsistent, with periods of rapid growth followed by periods of decline.
Future Projections: Future growth is highly uncertain, dependent on the company's ability to execute its strategic initiatives and navigate the competitive landscape. Analyst estimates are unavailable or unreliable due to the company's volatility.
Recent Initiatives: Recent initiatives include focusing on its online platform and expanding its presence in new geographic markets, while also attempting to cut costs.
Summary
TuanChe's financial stability is questionable, and the company currently faces the risk of being delisted. While its combined online and offline model and the focus on lower-tier cities initially held promise, the company's execution and financials have not been able to compete with established industry players. The company needs to significantly improve its online platform to survive. It is important to note that the future outlook is uncertain.
