Moving from Growth to Maturity Stage in China, Electrification, Lightweighting as well as Cost Competitiveness Needed for Auto Parts Makers

  • Identifies the direction of the Chinese automotive industry based on analysis of growth strategies of China's central and local governments
  • Analyzes parts procurement strategies and in-house parts production systems of 16 local and foreign automakers
  • Clarifies trends of new technology development, procurement strategy and business relationships of 40 major Chinese parts makers
  • Outlines business conditions of ten leading Chinese companies in the vehicle electrification sector
  • Explores business trends of 48 foreign automotive parts manufacturers in China

In 2010, the Chinese automotive market is expected to be close to the world´s highest recorded vehicle sales of 17.8 million units achieved by the United States and become the auto powerhouse of the world both in name and reality in 2011. Comparing with China´s production volume of 2.35 million units in 2001 when China became a member of the WTO, the Chinese automotive industry achieved astounding growth with unprecedented rapidity, recording seven-fold expansion in less than 10 years. Needless to say, the auto parts industry has also achieved explosive growth. In China, while the amount of foreign investment allowed in joint venture projects of complete vehicle manufacturers is limited to 50%, there is no restriction on the joint venture projects of automotive components. Consequently, the development of the Chinese parts industry was carried out by foreign companies and joint venture companies between Chinese and foreign suppliers, while Chinese suppliers became lagging behind in technology and R&D. However, recently, as seen in the acquisitions of Delphi Corporation´s brake and chassis business and GM´s Nexteer steering components unit by Chinese enterprises, there are an increasing number of Chinese suppliers that intend to fill the technological gap through takeover of foreign parts makers backed by the governmental supports. Furthermore, with an aim to make up for delay in technology accumulation in the auto parts industry, the Chinese government has been activating implementation of industrial policies to support and encourage development of technology and products in new technology areas such as electric vehicles and related parts.

It is firmly believed that this survey on the up-tothe-minute trends of the Chinese auto parts industry which clarifies the Chinese government´s industrial policies for 2015 as well as deep analysis on parts procurement strategies and business trends of Chinese and foreign auto parts makers will serve as an invaluable source of information for those conducting business related to China´s automotive industry, and contribute to further business expansion.
