At the International Investment and Trade Procurement Sub-forum of the 2006 China Automotive Industry International Development Forum on September 17, representatives from domestic parts and components companies and business officials from some countries’ embassies in China expressed their views.
Globalization brings opportunities for development
According to Lan Qingsong, executive director of Shanghai General Purchasing Parts, the auto parts industry in China will benefit from the acceleration of globalization. He said that globalization can promote the full participation of parts and components companies in global procurement and enhance the ability of parts and components companies to operate in multiple locations around the world. At the same time, the development capability and technological level of parts and components companies will also be improved.
Lan Qingsong said that globalization can lead to the integration of the resources of China's spare parts enterprises and global excellent parts and components companies, enhance the core competitiveness of China's parts and components companies, and enable excellent parts and components companies to participate in domestic and international market competition and accelerate development. . In addition, globalization can also optimize the supply chain system and shorten the supply radius.
"China Purchasing" Becomes an Element of Multinational Corporation's Competitive Strategy
With the continuous growth of the Chinese auto market, the growth rate of China's auto parts industry has been higher than that of domestic host plants. Parts manufacturers have begun to shift their sights to overseas markets.
Shanghai Nanyang Automotive Parts Purchasing Center general manager Nanyang analysis said that in addition to serving domestic OEM support and domestic aftermarket demands, Chinese auto parts manufacturers are accelerating their pace of exporting to the global market and starting to adapt to the international aftermarket. Global OEM supporting supply chain. According to customs statistics, in 2005 China's exports of parts and components exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars and more than 1,000 parts and components export enterprises.
At the same time, Nanyang stated that with the restructuring of the global auto industry and changes in the market, multinational manufacturers and component purchasers have already adjusted and reorganized their traditional parts suppliers in order to increase their cost competitiveness. China's auto parts resources are included in its new global procurement resources and supply chain.

According to statistics, in 2004 China's parts and components companies' exports have reached 5.632 billion U.S. dollars; it is estimated that by 2010 China's auto parts exports will exceed 30 billion U.S. dollars.
Domestic parts and components companies have obvious advantages in multinational supply chains
With the growth of the Chinese auto market and the continuous improvement of the localization rate, China's auto parts resources are becoming more and more abundant. Many types of parts and components have obvious advantages in cost and price, and they have considerable international competitiveness.

The rapid increase in the overall quality of China's auto parts and resources has enabled local companies to rise rapidly and their capabilities have been comprehensively approaching foreign investment or joint ventures, providing buyers with more competitive options for realizing China's procurement.
Nanyang analysis said that because Chinese domestic suppliers are actively concerned about the development of multinational automotive companies, compared with suppliers in other regions of the world, they are more willing to invest in technology according to procurement requirements, so they can further cooperate with buyers and become a new international strategy. partner. In this way, Chinese auto parts companies can more smoothly go abroad, export international aftermarket, and join the global supply chain. In recent years, the export volume and export variety of auto parts have continued to increase, accumulating international business experience for export OEMs and forming a virtuous circle.
At the same time, domestic foreign-invested parts and components manufacturers have also adjusted their global strategies and gradually shifted their focus on manufacturing capacity and technology development in the Asia-Pacific region to China. In addition to the further “localization†of its own operations and the deep localization of its products, it further stimulated the development of the second- and third-tier local components and suppliers in the upper reaches, and improved the competitiveness of foreign companies in the international market.
