In a certain period of time, China's auto parts are suffering from exchange rate war, inflation and other problems. To solve these problems, we should not only improve our technical level to increase the added value of products to resist exchange rate and inflation, but also look at the future with a long-term perspective, grasp the future trend of auto parts, and fight a confident war. In a certain period, the development of China's auto parts has the following four trends:
1. The transfer of international industries accelerated, and mergers and acquisitions were active.
In a certain period, the sales of most domestic auto parts enterprises are relatively low. Compared with the multinational giants with sales of up to 10 billion dollars, the scale of Chinese auto parts enterprises is obviously small. In addition, China's manufacturing exports have always been known for their cheapness. In order to effectively reduce production costs and open up emerging markets, large transnational enterprises not only transfer production and manufacturing links to low-cost countries and regions on a large scale, but also gradually extend the scope of transfer to R&D, design, procurement, sales and after-sales services. The scale of transfer is getting larger and higher.
In 2010, many multinational spare parts enterprises have come to China to build factories through joint ventures and other means.
If domestic parts enterprises want to occupy a place in the future international market competition, the fastest way is to form large-scale parts enterprise groups through mergers and acquisitions. The merger and reorganization of parts enterprises is more urgent than that of complete vehicles. If there is no large parts enterprise, the cost will not come down, and the quality will not go up, the development of the entire industry will be extremely difficult. Under the background of small scale, weak strength and insufficient R&D capability of domestic parts enterprises, if the parts industry wants to develop rapidly, it must accelerate mergers and acquisitions to form scale effect.
2. Auto parts enterprises actively implement systematic development, modular manufacturing and integrated supply, with obvious characteristics of auto parts industry cluster development.
From the perspective of the development process of auto parts industry in the world's major auto producing countries, the development of auto parts industry cluster is as important as the development of auto industry. To become bigger and stronger, it must develop into an industrial cluster, which is the strategic choice of auto parts industry. Vehicle enterprises use platform strategy in product development, and systematic development, modular manufacturing and integrated supply have gradually become the development trend of automobile parts industry. At the same time, the characteristics of auto parts industry cluster development are becoming more and more obvious.
3. Global procurement of auto parts will become a trend, but China will still focus on export and internationalization in the future.
With the change of the organizational structure of the auto parts industry, more and more vehicle manufacturers will implement global procurement of parts. However, China's huge manufacturing industry and the characteristics of high quality and low price cannot be changed in a short period of time. Therefore, auto parts will still be dominated by export and internationalization in the future.
In a certain period of time, international purchasers have become more rational and practical about Chinese procurement by selecting and cultivating potential core suppliers; Increase their own logistics integration; Strengthen the communication with foreign factories in China to improve the latter's enthusiasm for export; Decentralize the procurement destination, and compare with other emerging markets to determine the procurement location to promote the procurement process in China.
According to the analysis, although international purchasers are becoming more cautious about Chinese procurement, export and internationalization will still be the main theme of Chinese local parts manufacturers in the next decade. The main reasons are:
1) Auto parts is a global industry, so it is inevitable for Chinese suppliers to improve their awareness of international development. Some enterprises that have just tasted the fruits of international procurement have sent a very positive signal;
2) The competition environment of Chinese parts enterprises, especially the parts suppliers in the supporting market, is becoming more and more cruel. Internationalization will be one of the main ways of differentiation;
3) After years of rapid growth, relevant supporting manufacturers have reached a scale of more than 1 billion, and have certain economic strength for international expansion;
4) Foreign/joint ventures will also increase their export efforts to make China a real manufacturing center, thus forming a virtuous circle.
4. New technology development trend of auto parts.
The development of new technologies for auto parts presents the following main trends: the depth of development continues to deepen; The generalization and standardization of parts are improved; The electronic and intelligent level of parts has been improved; The lightweight of the whole vehicle and its parts will become the future development trend; Clean and environmental protection technologies will become the commanding heights of future industrial competition. In a certain period of time, China's auto parts industry still has many shortcomings, such as poor industrial foundation, unreasonable structure, insufficient research and development and lack of famous brands, which are all commonplace problems. During the 11th Five Year Plan period, the National Development and Reform Commission took comprehensively improving the competitiveness of the auto parts industry as the main goal of guiding the industry. Now the 12th Five Year Plan is coming, and auto parts enterprises need to further improve their core competitiveness.
Merger and reorganization
Facing the market competition, the auto parts industry should speed up the pace of industrial merger and reorganization. If there are no large parts enterprises, China's auto parts will have no voice in the world, and the procurement cost will not come down. Domestic parts and components enterprises are small in scale, weak in strength, and lack of research and development capabilities. Under such a background, if the parts and components industry wants to develop rapidly, it must speed up mergers and acquisitions to form a scale effect.
During the 11th Five Year Plan period, the merger and reorganization of automobile enterprises provided conditions and useful references for parts enterprises to implement industrial integration, optimization and upgrading. Parts enterprises should consider the situation, conform to the trend and necessity of industrial development, consciously and actively carry out various forms of cooperation and cooperation, and improve the level of specialization and scale.
Increase R&D
It is learned from relevant institutions that few Chinese parts enterprises are among the top in the R&D rankings of parts and vehicle enterprises, and there are few among the top 44. In the face of huge investment in R&D by multinational parts enterprises, domestic independent auto enterprises should be aware of the existence of the crisis and make up for the weaknesses in R&D.
systematization
According to the development trend of system development and modular supporting, the parts enterprises should establish a long-term strategic partnership with the vehicle enterprises, and first establish and form the auto parts supply system for the self owned brand vehicles. Take commercial vehicles and economical passenger vehicles as breakthrough points, actively participate in the product development of vehicle enterprises, integrate relevant parts resources, continuously improve the development level of system parts, gradually establish and improve the parts production system and product standard system, and form the systematic and modular supporting capacity of parts. In this respect, the government should give policy support to SMEs.
Go out
In a certain period, some domestic automobile enterprises and parts enterprises have gone abroad. The strategy of Chinese local auto parts enterprises to improve their technical strength through overseas acquisitions and break the key technology and market situation controlled by foreign enterprises is becoming increasingly obvious.
