Although China is likely this year, overtaking the U.S. as the world's largest car market, but the lack of strong parts supply system will continue to mercilessly in this "first" on the cast shadow. Policy as the domestic auto industry has long been "re-light zero", the entire supply system is not only a low concentration level of technology is very backward, even more worrying is that most of the accessories market, especially the core components have been firmly in control of the field of foreign investment.
According to statistics, in the automotive electronics and other high-tech products, as well as engines, transmissions and other key areas such as core components, foreign control of the market has been as high as 90%. Auto analyst Haiying Pong consulting firm that do the same trends continue, will inevitably be autonomous vehicle, "Kabo Zi" and even the survival of low-cost advantage will lose. "The development of a country's own brand vehicle key is to see zero-matching system is perfect in this country or not, otherwise it is just an assembly plant, the profit is controlled by foreign hands." The State Council Development Research Center of Industrial Economics Research Department Director, ordinary money said. Lack of technical means to obtain Data show that in 2008 the country registered more than 10,000 parts manufacturers, but generally smaller firm size, annual sales revenue of 10 billion dollars in only six, while in Europe and the United States and other developed countries, the annual sales over 10 billion dollar company not unusual. The development of China's auto parts company was slow, hard to change the degree of concentration is poor, technologically backward status, and lack of effective access to means of directly related technology. Wen-Kai Chen, general manager of K-car network, said to international automobile companies supporting access to manufacturers of technology transfer, but for local parts suppliers, it is still a closed door. "Especially the Japanese, Korean series vehicle factory in China supply chain is almost not open local parts suppliers, even if the localization of these manufacturers purchase the majority of options are also supporting enterprises in the domestic foreign-owned or joint venture." CHEN Wen-Kai said. Recently, some local vendors are attempting to use the global financial crisis to, bargain-hunting foreign bankrupt parts enterprises in order to more directly access its technology, in which Western Academy of Beijing was the end of March and the World Heavy parts giant Delphi reached a purchase agreement to buy brake and suspension of its global business. "This is certainly a way, but there are still significant risks, the biggest risk is that technology digest and docking."
Wen-Kai Chen said, the implementation of the acquisition of Chinese enterprises also need to consider parts of this stall take over, if they are able to find the right customers, the availability of adequate technical self-digestion and international management, or business but will collapse. Fact, due to the lack of effective means of technology acquisition, local suppliers can only rely on low-cost advantage, in some areas of non-core components for living space, but with the low cost of local parts suppliers lose, their living environment began at stake, not to mention the R & D and innovation. Global business consulting firm Al-ix-Partners study showed that the last two years, some of the cost of domestic exports of parts increased 16%, China is no longer low manufacturing costs of parts. Affected, multinational companies sourcing in China, the results are not as optimistic had expected, almost 80% of companies did not meet the procurement volume in China, and procurement cost reduction targets. A cruel reality is that, with the appreciation of RMB and the export tax rebate rate of decline in procurement in China is facing more pressure, many international buyers have to look at the same time transferred to the more price advantage of Vietnam, India, Thailand and Australia and other countries and regions.
