Since the beginning of this year, foreign auto parts giants have turned their attention to the Chinese market and have rapidly invested. Whether it is the expansion of production capacity or the establishment of a new R&D center, the investment of foreign auto parts companies in the Chinese market will only increase. How domestic auto parts companies develop and grow rapidly under the conditions of “strengthening the power of the world†has become an urgent task.

Foreign investment increased
According to the statistics, European and American auto parts manufacturers are now making intensive efforts to accelerate the planning and implementation of investment and capital increase projects in China. In early September, Honeywell decided to establish a turbocharger plant in Wuhan this year and immediately decided to launch more than 100 turbocharger applications for passenger cars and commercial vehicles globally, of which more than 20% is exclusively for China. Market design.
At the end of September, Continental Group held a completion ceremony for three new production lines in Changchun. The new production line is used to produce nitrogen oxide sensors, high temperature sensors, and 6th generation canister purge solenoid valves in the sensor and actuator business unit of the Powertrain System Division. It is understood that the completion of the Changchun plant is the third project of the Continental Group to invest in China after Jiading and Wuhu in Shanghai, which indicates the determination of the mainland group to develop the Chinese market.
In early October, Delphi Automotive Systems officially launched the Delphi Pike Electric Systems Co., Ltd. Chongqing branch of the Chongqing Automotive Harness Production Base, marking the further expansion of Delphi's layout in the western region of China. As a manufacturer specializing in automotive wire harnesses, Delphi Pike Chongqing Branch will manufacture optimized automotive wiring harnesses, mainly for Changan Ford Mazda, Volvo and Jiangling Ford.
In early November, Bosch, a world-renowned auto parts and components supplier, moved its entire production base and headquarter for its automotive calipers and R&D center from Suzhou to Wuhan Development Zone. The project covers an area of ​​100 mu and is constructed in two phases. One phase of 50 acres, invested 50 million US dollars, completed and put into operation in June next year, with an annual output of 5 million calipers, annual sales income of 1.3 billion.
Experts said that foreign-owned auto parts manufacturers that have long been engaged in the global automotive sector have been accelerating their investment and distribution activities in the Chinese market. The purpose of these companies is to expect high input to usher in high returns, indicating that they will have a bearing on the future of the Chinese automobile market. confidence. Although the growth rate of China's auto market has slowed down and the pressure of competition has gradually increased, most foreign auto parts companies still believe that there is much room for development in the Chinese auto market.
In this regard, Alibaba, president of Delphi Packard Electronics/Electrical Systems Division and president of Delphi Asia Pacific, said: "Chinese consumers are more willing to choose vehicles with richer functions, higher safety, and lower emissions, so the Chinese market is advanced. Demand for electronic/electrical infrastructure systems is rapidly growing.Delphi is constantly striving to develop and produce compact and light-weight electronic/electrical architecture products for its customers, and has established two automotive wiring harness production bases in the western region to ensure rapid response to customers. Demand, providing localization support.†Clearly, Ai Bobin has already made preparations for the development of long-term business planning in China.
Dai Pengjie, vice president and general manager of China and India, Honeywell Transportation Systems Group, is also optimistic about the Chinese auto market. Dai Pengjie predicts that in the next five years, the Chinese turbocharger market will double from 4 million units in 2011 to 8 million units in 2016.
Market situation is not optimistic
Jia Xinguang, a renowned car commentator, said that compared with foreign advanced auto parts enterprises, domestic auto parts companies have relatively weak independent development capabilities, especially in automotive electronics and electronically controlled mechanical parts with high technological content. There is a serious shortage of research and development and innovation. Some of the "autonomous technologies" claimed by some auto parts companies are copied and lack core technologies.
The data shows that despite the low labor force and huge market, the development of the domestic auto parts industry still has problems such as small scale, low innovation capacity and low standardization. At present, there are more than 5,000 non-state-owned auto parts companies with state-owned, state-controlled and sales revenues of over 5 million yuan, of which more than 80% have annual sales of less than 100 million yuan, and only 130 have exceeded 100 million yuan. Nearly 70% of auto parts companies have high production costs, low overall efficiency, and uneven product quality. About 80% of domestic automotive technology patents are utility model patents, and there are few invention patents. The core technologies are not mastered.
In addition, the dependence of self-owned auto companies on the external dependence on engines, transmissions, chassis, axles and suspensions, and many electronic configurations has resulted in 60% of the profits of the entire industry chain being loaded into the pockets of foreign parts and components companies. More than 90%.
Dong Jianping stated that the parts and components industry is an important basis for the development of the automotive industry. According to the laws of the automotive industry, a country’s automobile industry must have the ability to lead the world’s automotive industry. The automobile parts and components industry must develop at a moderate pace and must possess a group of master core technologies. The leading enterprises in the component industry. At present, in China's auto parts industry, as long as it involves safety and environmental protection laws and regulations, high-demand parts and components markets, such as EFI, high pressure common rail, automotive electronics, are basically controlled by foreign-funded parts and components companies. Domestic auto parts manufacturers are mostly concentrated in the low-end areas, which seriously restricts China's move from a big auto country to a car power.
Experts said that in the current sluggish environment of the auto market, foreign auto parts and components companies are doing the opposite, accelerating the pace of production and capital increase in China. It can be seen that China's auto market still has great attraction and development potential. Domestic auto parts companies and entire vehicle companies should establish confidence, explore opportunities in the domestic market, make strategic preparations, and improve their competitiveness.
Domestic enterprises must accelerate development without delay
An Qingheng, deputy director of the China Automobile Industry Advisory Committee, believes that local component companies can only compete with foreign-funded parts companies through their group development while strengthening their own strength. Zhang Xiaozheng, executive vice president of the China Federation of Machinery Industry, repeatedly appealed that China's auto parts industry must follow the development path of “grouping, scale, and specializationâ€.
Experts said that if they want to achieve development, local auto parts companies must also, like other industries, form the advantage of group scale, and it is the only way to cultivate leading enterprises. Accelerating structural adjustment and realizing resource integration cannot be delayed. On the one hand, local parts and components companies should take mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures as the first measure to prevent the impact of foreign investment, so as to ensure the stable market share of enterprises; on the other hand, they should strengthen independent research and development to expand their own production capacity and improve their competitiveness.
In the “Foreign Investment Industry Guidance Catalogue (Revised in 2011)†that began in January this year, the focus of foreign investment will be encouraged to shift from “whole vehicle manufacturing†to “key component manufacturing and R&Dâ€. Experts believe that from the introduction of vehicle manufacturing to the manufacturing and R&D of key components, it is indicated that policies are playing a role in guiding foreign investment. From the perspective of industry, according to the investment steps of foreign capital, there will be two changes in China's auto parts industry: the market structure will change, once the restrictions on the ratio of foreign investment in domestic auto parts investment are released, the market for its parts and components products The share will continue to expand; domestic auto parts companies will face long-term integration, and industrial consolidation will increase the overall competitiveness of the domestic auto parts industry.
In this regard, experts said that foreign auto parts companies building factories in China and occupying the domestic market need market support and policy support. This has determined that foreign auto parts companies need to resolve business risks through cooperation and localization. Domestic auto parts companies can not only obtain opportunities for joint venture development, but they themselves will also find opportunities for self-development in the long-term development. At the same time, related auto parts companies should learn lessons from “market-for-technology†over the years, pay more attention to the digestion and absorption of foreign technologies, improve their viability, guard against quick success and blind copying, in order to survive and compete in the competition. Greater development.
