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.

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.
