Analysis of the status quo and development trend of international auto parts industry

I. Status Quo of the United States Auto Parts Industry

Overall, U.S. OEMs are increasingly outsourcing the design and production of their key components to component suppliers, a trend that allows vehicle manufacturers to focus more of their capital on development. Innovative models.

● Volvo (Volvo) has already established a joint venture with well-known parts suppliers Dana and Getrag to develop a new generation of 4-wheel drive and chassis systems.

● A joint venture between Getrag and Ford (Gaert-Ford) has taken over responsibility for the development and development of Volvo's new hand-gear transmission system.

● Nissan (Nissan) has given INERGY USA the sole responsibility for developing and developing new types of plastic fuel tanks, and has the right to select its secondary suppliers.

BMW (BMW) is outsourcing its seats and Mini cockpits and seeks more modular designs for its small car platforms.

In addition, according to the latest market research conducted by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, by 2010, with the rapid rise of the auto parts industry in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, North America and Western Europe will reduce nearly 11% of the global supply market share.

Second, the status quo of European auto parts industry

According to the analysis of market research in the first quarter of 2004, the European automotive production trend is still showing negative growth, and the prospects for the recovery of the industry continue to be bearish. Although AutoLiv and Continental had some improvement in their operating income and profits in the first quarter of 2004, some of France’s major companies such as Valeo and Faurecia’s performance in the first quarter continued to decline slightly or remain at the most marginal level to achieve growth.

● A new round of restructuring to cope with pressure from customer needs. To this end, GKN is reorganizing its metal business under USSinter and adjusting its powertrain business by transferring 25% of joint venture production to low-cost countries.

● The reduction of 1.1% of stocks led to a decline in European production. In the first quarter of 2004, European vehicle manufacturers modestly reduced their overall inventory. Total European production in the first quarter of 2004 was 3.803 million units, which was less than the 100,000 units sold in the same period.

● VWAG recently expressed its expectation that its component suppliers need to consider the gradual acceleration of the production of energy-saving products such as aluminum castings due to increasing electricity costs in Europe, such as to Abu Dhabi (ABUDHABI) in the UAE Middle Eastern countries produce. According to the European Industry Association’s warning, the newly established European CO2 emission requirements for pollution reduction will further force the automotive industry manufacturers to accelerate the search for new, lower-cost production sites.

Third, the relationship between auto parts companies and vehicle companies

Due to the formation of a new competitive environment, the global automobile industry chain represented by Europe, the US and Japan is gradually forming a new type of relationship between the automotive industry. We can clearly see that the auto parts companies in the world are increasingly pursuing independence from vehicle companies. Out of this, this has drastically changed the vertical integration and division of labor and collaboration model of the original automobile industry. The parts and components companies and the vehicle companies have formed the cooperation of reciprocal cooperation and strategic partnership.

According to the latest research from Ward's AutoWorld, the Japanese auto industry, represented by Honda, Toyota, and Nissan, has strengthened its relationship with suppliers through the establishment of a team spirit and coordination awareness in the form of strategic alliances or outsourcing in recent years. The new zero-based integration between the underwriters and the underwriters is particularly fruitful.

Through careful comparison of functions and costs, to study their own strengths, or to establish competitive advantages, and to concentrate on the development of this advantage; at the same time, from the perspective of maintaining the corporate brand, we must study the core aspects of the company, and retain and enhance these links. Ability to separate some of the non-advantageous or non-core links, while continuing to seek partners that can achieve synergy with them, and jointly complete the entire process of the value chain. The practice of Japanese companies has shaken off the negative effects of “vertical integration”, expanded resources, and used the resources of parts and components companies to achieve rapid market response. This new “horizontal integration” model emerged.

According to the current development trend, we can summarize the following types of car zero development model:

1. An independent/discrete auto parts group model represented by Delphi Westcom;

2. To integrate and integrate the numerous and messy parts companies within the group and coordinate and manage them in a unified manner. This centralized model makes this type of parts and components group still affiliated with the vehicle group, and it also belongs to an attached development model. Its representatives include SAIC Group Components, FAW-Foo Ao Auto Parts Co., Ltd., and Dongfeng Co., Ltd. Parts Business Unit;

3. Independently developed, it does not rely on any vehicle group, but it also provides independent vehicle supply and service for a number of vehicle companies. Its typical representative is Wanxiang Group, which is a model for the development of independent spare parts enterprise groups in China;

4. The merger and spare parts group model represented by the Torch Torch. The merger-and-parts-group model is based on mergers and acquisitions and other capital operations, mergers and acquisitions of other auto parts companies, and the rapid expansion of the company's scale and strength to form a large parts and components group. )
