Low-end automotive parts directly affect the development of the automotive industry

In recent years, the rapid development of the domestic automotive industry, with China becoming the world's largest automobile production and sales, the domestic auto parts industry is also growing. Although the industry is large in scale, it lacks economies of scale, and most of the key component subdivision areas are occupied by foreign capital. At present, China's domestic parts and components industry is only weak, small and scattered. The competitiveness of the entire industry is mainly reflected in Cheap labor and resource costs.

Ti Zhihai, a researcher at the China Circulation Productivity Promotion Center, said that due to the lack of long-term strategic considerations for domestic parts and components companies, the low-end products and foundry industries that are easy to use and benefit from have been launched in large numbers, thus ignoring the absorption and digestion of advanced technologies. . At the same time, foreign investors are also interested in blocking core or cutting-edge technologies or processing them overseas.

In recent years, benefiting from the rapid development of the automotive market, the domestic parts and components industry is also booming. However, the rapid expansion of industrial scale, the sharp increase in the number of companies, and the consecutive year-on-year growth in exports have not changed the reality of the industry itself. Due to the lack of independent core technologies and brands, most of the domestic parts and components companies can only compete on labor-intensive products with high resource consumption and low profit margins. They see the core parts and components market, including the powertrain, being used by international component giants. Firmly controlled, but more than enough.

At present, the development of China's spare parts industry has already constrained the development of the vehicle. "The self-owned brand auto companies will have very low profit margins if they don't master the core parts and components technology," said Shen Jun, vice president of Greater China at Roland Berger International Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., "We have done a statistic, Currently, the sales volume of self-owned brands in the Chinese market is roughly one-third, but the share of sales accounts for 20%, which is less than 10%. What are the reasons? There are more low-end models and very few high-end models. If you look at profits again Contribution, only 10% of the contribution, 90% are international brands, it means that although the independent brand to obtain one-third of the market share, but only one-tenth of profit acquisition, to a large extent affect the sustainable development of independent brands This is related to the weakness of the parts industry."

This "restraint" brought about by the "harm", has exceeded the parts industry itself, and then affect the long-term development of China's auto industry. This also means that if China's auto industry wants to become bigger and stronger during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, it must complete the shortcomings in spare parts as soon as possible.

In order to achieve this, we must first reverse the current concept of "reforming light vehicle parts and components" and increase investment in parts and components to enhance the industry's technological level and research and development capabilities. In addition to the input of the enterprise itself, the state should also introduce incentive policies from the policy level to guide the healthy development of the industry and technological upgrading. Moreover, in this process, it is also necessary to actively adopt international cooperation strategies, introduce advanced foreign technologies, and digest, absorb, and re-innovate, train their own talents, and not allow parts and components to drag the automobile industry.
