January 30, 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce years ago released the "Foreign Investment Industry Guidance Catalog (2011 Revision)" (hereinafter referred to as the new "catalog") officially came into force. It is reported that the new "catalog" a major adjustment is to encourage the point by "vehicle manufacturing" to "key components of the manufacturing and R & D" change, at the same time, the cancellation of part of the field of foreign investment in the share ratio restrictions, share ratio requirements than the original directory of the entries to reduce 11.
"From the introduction of vehicle manufacturing to key components manufacturing and R & D shows that the policy is playing a foreign investment-oriented role, from an industrial point of view, according to the foreign investment steps, China's auto parts industry will appear two changes." China Investment Consultant researcher Li Yuheng said in an interview with the "China Production and Economic News" reporter: First, the market pattern will change, once the liberalization of investment in foreign-funded products market will continue to expand; Second, China's parts and components manufacturing enterprises will be faced with long-term consolidation, industrial consolidation will lead to China's overall competitiveness to improve the parts and components industry.
As we all know, at present, China's local auto parts manufacturing enterprises in large numbers, but most of the smaller scale, lack of innovation, relatively backward means of development, the overall level of poor, in terms of high-tech parts and components, for the multinational corporations, the degree of dependence is still very high. "As China's parts market has certain regional barriers, the industry has more obstacles to development, opening the parts market to foreign investment will lead to re-divide the market share and guide the industry into a new stage of integration." China Business Circulation Productivity Promotion Center automotive industry researcher Tie Zhihai said.
However, it is worth noting that the auto parts market in the middle and late stage will be dominated by joint ventures (analogous to the vehicle enterprises), Li Yuheng pointed out that foreign capital in China to set up factories to occupy the domestic market needs two support, market support, policy support determines the foreign capital need to resolve the business risks of enterprises through cooperation, localization. "Local auto parts enterprises can not only get the opportunity of joint venture development, itself will also find the opportunity of independent development in the long-term development."
The booming development of foreign investment brings greater challenges on the one hand, but on the other hand, it also provides new development opportunities for local enterprises. Therefore, Tie Zhihai said, China should learn from years of "market for technology" lessons, pay more attention to the digestion and absorption of foreign technology, dancing with the wolves at the same time to improve their own ability to survive, and beware of quick success and blind copying, in the competition for survival and greater development. "At the same time, in order to seek development, auto parts enterprises must also be the same as other industries, the formation of a group of scale advantages, training ** enterprises is the way to go. Accelerate structural adjustment, to achieve resource integration can not be delayed, otherwise there will be the possibility of losing survival space in the competition." He said.
Li Yuheng suggested that the local parts and components enterprises should deal with two situations, on the one hand, enterprises should be mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures as a defense against foreign industrial impact of the ** road measures to ensure that the enterprise in the market share is stable; on the other hand, the enterprise should be imitated, and then the independent research and development in order to expand the independent production capacity to improve the competitiveness of enterprises in order to ensure that in the medium and long term development period can be done in the continuous expansion of the scale of the enterprise.
