No longer separate lighting fixtures and furniture
The global financial crisis created a wave of turmoil that affected economies worldwide. Major automobile manufacturers found themselves in a precarious position, with production halting, layoffs, and pay cuts becoming common. As a downstream industry, the auto parts sector is deeply impacted by the fortunes of the automotive industry. In this challenging climate, what is the current status of China's auto parts industry, and how has the crisis influenced its development? What future awaits this vital sector?
On November 12, the China International Auto Parts Expo opened at the China International Exhibition Center (new hall) in Beijing. This event, the only national-level and international auto parts exhibition approved by the Chinese government, serves as a "national platform" for domestic auto parts companies. Last year’s successful edition attracted over 1,000 major multinational and domestic companies, including Bosch, Denso, SAIC, FAW, Dongfeng, BAIC, Chery, CNHTC, and Wanxiang. Over 3,000 professional buyers from more than 60 countries participated, with an exhibition area of 80,000 square meters and an expected number of 80,000 exhibitors.
The expo showcased the latest innovations and products from leading players in the industry, offering a glimpse into the state of China’s auto parts market. During the opening day, reporters visited various booths and observed the enthusiasm and technological advancements on display.
At the Bosch booth, the commercial vehicle common rail system was a highlight. This advanced system separates pressure generation from fuel injection, enabling low-speed, high-injection pressures that improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. It also enhances engine performance and driver comfort. Additionally, Bosch displayed its diesel electronic control system, which integrates OBD, EOBD, ABS/ESP, and other diagnostic systems to optimize fuel consumption and performance.
Yuchai exhibited its electronically controlled National III diesel engines, designed for trucks and available in multiple series to meet diverse power requirements. Meanwhile, China National Heavy Duty Truck presented two technical routes for its National III engines, one using a high-pressure common rail system and the other an electronically controlled EGR system. Despite some industry skepticism, the company remains confident in its product’s performance and market acceptance.
Despite the challenges posed by the financial crisis, auto parts companies remain optimistic about the future. Many continue to invest in capacity expansion, anticipating a strong recovery in the auto parts market. With China’s car ownership projected to reach 150 million by 2020 and a 4 trillion RMB investment in infrastructure, the potential for growth is evident.
Even during this period of uncertainty, companies are preparing for the future. They are using downtime to perform maintenance, train employees, and build up their resources for the next phase of growth.
International buyers remain optimistic about the Chinese market, with procurement activities showing steady growth. The 2008 China International Auto Parts Expo featured several supplier procurement talks, with major buyers like BMW participating. Procurement projects span not only traditional markets but also emerging ones such as India, Brazil, Iran, and Russia.
In conclusion, while the financial crisis has brought challenges, the resilience and innovation of China’s auto parts industry suggest a promising future. As the market evolves, these companies are well-positioned to capitalize on new opportunities and drive long-term success.
