China's auto industry must pay attention to the independent research and development of parts and components


In recent years, vehicle manufacturers in China's auto industry have been continuously increasing their own R&D efforts, and the large number of auto brands with complete independent intellectual property rights, such as Chery, Geely, and China, have been selling well at home and abroad. However, the lofty skyscrapers began to rise flat. China's auto industry must continue to develop, and it is truly a road to independent innovation. It must also attach great importance to auto parts research and development and independent innovation.

The general development trend of the auto parts industry Since the 1990s, the appearance and development trend of the world auto industry have constantly changed. Major auto groups are constantly looking for new markets and global production and procurement. The global development of the automobile industry poses a severe challenge to the development strategies and models of the automotive industry in various countries, especially in developing countries.

Relevant experts pointed out that in the context of this global production and procurement, the development of the world's auto parts industry presents the following trends:
Driven by the wave of international mergers and acquisitions, mergers and reorganizations, and the separation of parts and components, the world’s auto parts companies have accelerated their mergers, acquisitions and alliances. Large companies and large corporations that produce automotive parts and components and parts and components that are linked by technological assets are forming.

The trend of centralizing the core business, global procurement, and system outsourcing of vehicle companies on the one hand has promoted the progress of component modularization and systematization technologies, making component companies pay more attention to the development and supply development of R&D platforms and sales service platforms; on the other hand, , Specialized division of labor, large-scale production, and construction of factories at the lowest cost of manufacturing and sales have become the inevitable choice for leading parts and components companies to reduce costs and comply with global procurement.

There are fewer and fewer spare parts companies that directly support the entire vehicle. Parts companies will be gradually stratified: Parts companies that have synchronized or advanced R&D capabilities with complete vehicles and can undertake systematic modular supply will become the main tier one suppliers and provide complete system assemblies; The components and parts companies with advantages in production and large-scale production will become the main suppliers of grades two and three, providing sub-assembly and parts.

In order to improve operating efficiency and operational efficiency, strong companies in automotive parts and components have also demonstrated the trend of external expansion of non-core businesses, the use of advantageous technologies and other resources as a link, and the formation and adjustment of global production layout.

Under the general trend of the development of the world's parts and components industry, the development of China's auto parts industry also presents two major trends: First, the parts and components companies with technical support and market influence, with specialization and large-scale advantages will become the protagonists; Second, the number of large and medium-sized component companies will decrease. Branches and subsidiaries under large companies will increase; large companies with systematic R&D, modular supply, and specialized small and medium-sized companies will become mainstream parts and components.

The Basic Status of China's Auto Parts Enterprises

Statistics show that at present, there are more than 5,000 auto parts companies in the country. Of these, 1,200 are foreign-invested enterprises. Wang Dengfeng, vice president of the Institute of Automotive Engineering at Jilin University of Technology, believes that with the rapid development of China's automobile industry, the overall level of the parts and components industry has increased significantly. However, compared with the international large parts and components companies, the gap is still large, showing the following aspect:

Small scale. Take Hubei, which is known as the "large province of auto parts." There are more than 700 parts and components companies in Hubei Province, with complete varieties and strong supporting capabilities. However, due to the excessive number of companies, the market concentration is not high, and the economic scale is not large. The total annual output value of parts and components in the province is not as good as that of the United States. One-fifth.

Lack of ability to develop core technologies. China's auto parts have been developed on the basis of commercial vehicles, and research on car technology has been delayed. Today, with the rapid development of the passenger vehicle market, apart from the development of individual companies in the expansion of the passenger car parts market, most parts and components investment has failed to give full play to its effectiveness.

Low investment and weak ability. The small R&D investment and weak R&D capability of domestic auto parts companies have limited the sustainable development of the company. The statistical data of the foreign auto industry shows that the average investment of the parts and components companies is generally about 1.5 times that of the entire vehicle company. At present, the proportion of investment in China is less than 0.3 times. The weakness of capital investment makes it difficult for parts and components companies to have a big role in new product development and technological innovation.

Foreign parts giant stepped up to penetrate the Chinese market

Relevant experts predict that by 2010, China’s auto production will reach 10 million, becoming the world’s second largest automobile producer; by 2020, China’s auto production will reach 20 million, making it the world’s largest automobile producer. According to the internationally-recognized measurement values, the production value of the US$1 per unit of the entire vehicle industry will drive the output value of the US$0.4 component industry.

It can be seen how rich the "cake" in China's auto parts market is.

In the face of opportunities, it is worrying that, on the one hand, the strength of China's parts and components companies is relatively weak; on the other hand, foreign strong component companies have stepped up their penetration in the Chinese auto parts market. According to statistics, the Delphi China Technology Center, the world's largest component manufacturer, has been located in Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, Pudong New Area, Shanghai. The total investment of the third phase of the project amounts to 50 million U.S. dollars. While building technology centers in Delphi, the European auto parts industry has also accelerated the pace of investment in the Chinese market. They transferred their German parts production bases to Xiaoshan and Taizhou in Zhejiang, and they are ready to do their jobs. According to statistics, the world’s nine largest automotive multinationals such as GM, Ford, Dai-Ke, Volkswagen, Toyota, Renault-Nissan, Peugeot-Citroen, Honda, and BMW have all entered China.

In view of the above situation and trends, relevant experts pointed out in an interview that the reporter did not attach importance to the construction of auto parts and components, and did not speed up the pace of independent research and development of auto parts. The independent research and development of Chinese autos would become a "building tower on the sand" - - Both motionless and running.
