WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 4 Industry Performance Executive Summary The development of the Auto Parts Manufacturing industry is being driven by the growing Automobile Manufacturing industry (IBISWorld industry report 3721) and strong growth in the number of automobiles in use across China. At the end of 2015, the total number of automobiles in use in China was nearly 172 million; this number is expected to continue increasing rapidly in future years. China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 helped facilitate the development of the automobile parts and accessories market by encouraging an open and rational market structure. However, membership in the WTO also meant that China had to reduce its tariffs and nontariff barriers, and open up its service sector. China's Auto Parts Manufacturing industry is less efficient compared with those in developed countries, and faces increasing competition as the market continues to become more globalized. In 2016, industry revenue is expected to total $584.7 billion, up 4.7% from 2015. Over the five years to 2016, revenue has been increasing at an annualized rate of 10.6%. Domestic demand is forecast to total $579.1 billion, up 4.7% from 2015. Meanwhile, exports are estimated at $29.8 billion and imports $24.2 billion in 2016, respectively. The production of advanced automotive parts is still limited in China and products such as acoustic systems, automobile special-purpose ICs (integrated chips), high-end sensors, and microprocessors are imported from developed countries. In the next five years, industry revenue is forecast to increase at an average annualized rate of 6.0%, totaling $783.2 billion in 2021. As the technology and the quality of Chinese products improve and pricing levels remain very competitive, demand from foreign countries will increase steadily. As a result, exports are projected to grow 2.9% per year to increase to $34.3 billion in 2021. However, many manufacturers will suffer under the pressure of the decreasing prices of automobile parts and accessories. Key External Drivers The key sensitivities affecting the performance of the Auto Parts Manufacturing industry include: Downstream Demand - Motor Vehicle mfg Automobile parts and accessories manufacturers have a close relationship with complete automobile manufacturers and are increasingly required to provide complete sub-systems for assembly. Exchange Rates - Yuan per $US The appreciation of the yuan against the US dollar makes Chinese exports less competitive in foreign markets, and importscheaper in the domestic market. However, depreciation expectation of the yuanis expected to stimulate exports of China s auto parts. Import Taxes (Duties) - Car Retailing Further reductions in tariffs will lead to greater import penetration. Imports are significant in the aftermarket segment, where substitutes of original equipment prevail. Industry Systems and Technology - Motor Vehicle and Part mfg Technology and systems influence production costs and the types and specifications of products manufactured. Upstream Supply - Metal Ore Mining Rising raw material prices increase production costs and can squeeze profit if these costs are not passed on to customers.

WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 5 Current Performance Revenue for the Auto Parts Manufacturing industry in China has been growing at an annualized rate of 10.6% in the five years to 2016. In 2016, mainly due to slow growth in the auto sector, industry revenue is expected to increase 4.7% to total $584.7 billion. Steady growth in the downstream Automobile Manufacturing industry (IBISWorld report 3721) drove a significant proportion of revenue growth in the Auto Parts Manufacturing industry in the five years through 2016. The number of automobiles manufactured in China increased at an annualized rate of 6.0% between 2011 and 2015 to 24.5 million units. Strong domestic demand for cars, especially for new energy vehicles, as well as increased foreign demand for the industry's products, will continue to drive industry growth. Industry performance In 2015, the sales volume of Chinese automobiles increased 4.7% to 24.6 million units, down from 6.9% in 2014. Moreover, growth in China's exports of auto parts fell to 5.2% in 2015. Total industry revenue grew just 4.9% for the year. In 2014, the sales volume of Chinese automobiles increased 6.9% from 2013 to 23.5 million units, down from 13.9% in 2013. Industry revenue increased only 8.4%. In 2013, the sales volume of Chinese automobiles increased 13.9% from 2012 to 22.0 million units and industr revenue grew 20.2%. In 2012, China's automotive market performed weakly with sales growth of just 4.3%. The sales volume of commercial vehicles decreased 5.5% during the year with the slowdown of China's macroeconomy. As a result, industry revenue grew just 15.7% over the year. In 2011, affected by the cancelation of some major preferential policies and a limit on automotive purchases in large cities such as Beijing, China's automotive market exhibited weak performance with sales growth of only 2.5%, down from 32.4% in 2010. Consequently, the Auto Parts Manufacturing industry grew only 15.6% that year, down from 31.4% in 2010. Industry profitability Average industry profit is expected to be at 7.2% of revenue in 2016. Profit levels declined in the past few years due to increasing wages and fierce competition in the auto parts market. With competition among operators expected to intensify, participants will have to lower prices to retain market share. Therefore, industry profitability is expected to decline in the future. Exports and imports China has become one of the largest manufacturers of automobile parts and accessories in the world. Export growth was significant in the past decade, particularly from 2004 to 2007, driven by strong demand in the United States and Japan. Exports have been increasing at an annualized rate of 5.0% between 2011 and 2016. However, growth has fluctuated significantly over the period, with 10.4% growth in export value in 2014 and a 5.2% decrease in export value in 2015 due to weak global market demand. Exports as a proportion of industry revenue declined to an estimated 5.1% in 2015, down from 6.6% in 2011. Competing imports have barely increased at an annualized rate of 0.1% during the past five years to 2016. Demand for high quality automobile parts in China is still reliant on imports, as domestic manufacturers cannot produce high quality and specialized automobile parts. Over the five-year period, more foreign automobile parts manufacturers moved their production facilities to China, bringing with them advanced technologies and the capability to manufacture specialized auto parts. As a result, import growth has been slower than in the previous five-year period. In 2015, with weak domestic demand for high-end auto parts, imports decreased to $24.0 million, down 15.5% from 2014. Establishments and wages

WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 6 In the five years to 2016, there were many new market entrants from domestic and foreign operators. Foreign players entered the market by forming joint venture companies with local producers, or through mergers and acquisitions. Mergers between domestic manufacturers have also been occurring. Domestic companies have combined efforts to strengthen market positions, increase market shares and widen sales networks. Total industry wages have increased significantly during the past five years, at an annualized rate of 13.7%. The average annual wage per employee increased from $7,516.3 in 2011 to an estimated $11,047.8 in 2016, a reflection of surging labor costs in China. Technology and economies of scale Although developing strongly, the industry still uses relatively backward technologies. Economies of scale have not yet been completely developed. There are numerous small players in the industry, and few operators are large scale with significant market shares. In some regions of South and East China, a number of family businesses are involved in automobile parts manufacturing. Each family specializes in the production of goods within a single segment or subsegment. In recent years, several families have combined to form economies of scale and scope, by sourcing products from each other at lower prices and by offering a large variety of products to customers. However, the production capacity and technology level of each independent operator are limited. Furthermore, the production of advanced automotive parts is also limited in China. Products such as acoustic systems, automobile special-purpose ICs (integrated chips), high-end sensors, and microprocessors are still imported from developed countries. Moreover, costly compound materials, such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium and some advanced plastic materials are generally not used in Chinese-made products. Research and development The research and development (R&D) ability of domestic manufacturers is weak due to limited capital for investment. For this reason, domestic companies often fail to meet demand and quality requirements from the fast growing Automobile Manufacturing industry. In addition, they face pressure from foreign automobile parts manufacturers operating in China that possess patents and intellectual property rights. Annual investment in R&D in China averaged between 1.0% and 1.5% of sales revenue over the past five years. In developed countries, the rate is typically 3.0% to 5.0%, with some operators reaching 10.0%. The share of R&D investment in parts and accessories in total income should be 1.2 to 1.5 times that of the share of R&D in the Automobile Manufacturing industry to offer the required products to downstream customers. By contrast, in China, it is less than a third. This severely limits the R&D level and capacity of the industry. However, domestic operators are beginning to increase investment in R&D to become professional manufacturers of high-quality products.

WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 7 Industry Outlook ACMR-IBISWorld forecasts that in the five years to 2021, total revenue of the Auto Parts Manufacturing industry in China will increase at an annualized rate of 6.0% to $783.2 billion. The main drivers of industry growth will be steady increases in overall demand for automobile parts and accessories, as well as gradual demand growth from China's Automobile Manufacturing industry (IBISWorld industry report 3721). International trade The industry's exports are forecast to increase at an annualized rate of 2.9% over the next five years. As China has become one of the largest manufacturers of automobile parts and accessories in the world, export volumes will continue to increase steadily, especially as the technology and the quality of Chinese products improves. However, as a proportion of industry revenue, exports are expected to decrease from 5.1% in 2016 to 4.4% in 2021 due to faster growth in domestic demand. Competing imports are expected to increase at an annualized rate of 1.4%. As more foreign manufacturers with the ability to produce specialized and high-quality industry products establish factories in China, the share of imports in domestic demand is expected to decrease from 4.2% in 2016 to 3.4% in 2021. The number of operators is forecast to increase 0.5% per year in the next five years, reaching 4,734 in 2021. Total industry wages, however, will grow at a much faster annualized rate of 8.6% due to higher wages per employee. Growing downstream demand China's automobile sector is forecast to maintain high annualized growth levels of 8.0% to 10.0% over the next 15 years. The Automobile Manufacturing industry in China is projected to grow almost 1.5 times faster than China's GDP over the period. Further separation of the Automobile Manufacturing industry and the Auto Parts Manufacturing industry is expected. Currently, some automobile parts and accessories manufacturers belong to complete automobile manufacturing enterprises in China, which limits the development of the industry to some extent. However, new energy vehicle manufacturing is expected to stimulate growing market demand for auto parts. Industry globalization Further industry globalization will be a major trend in the industry as manufacturers expand export markets, while continuing to satisfy domestic demand. China will continue to be one of the largest manufacturers of automobile parts and accessories in the world. High penetration levels of foreign capital in the Automobile Manufacturing industry in China will further threaten local automobile parts and accessories manufacturers. Foreign operators obtained large market shares in the passenger vehicle part market in China in recent years. Currently, foreign capital accounts for over 36.0% of China's automobile parts and accessories market. Foreign operators are also the sole market for certain automobile parts, such as high-end electronic controls, fuel injection systems, transducers, brake systems, and steering systems. As a result, domestic operators face increasing challenges from their foreign competitors, and will likely look to improve performance through mergers and acquisitions. Increasing competition Economies of scale and increased competition will be important industry drivers. Currently, there are many small companies that operate at low efficiency levels. Problems caused by small scale, low concentration and disorderly competition inhibit the development of the industry, and domestic manufacturers will have to integrate to complement each other and allocate resources more efficiently.

WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 8 It is also important that operators in the industry strengthen research and development (R&D) abilities. China has incorporated some advanced foreign technology, equipment and management systems; however, domestic manufacturers still need to strengthen their R&D ability to manufacture independent products to meet the requirement of complete automobile manufacturing operators. Profit declines will be a serious challenge as competition between assembly plants and parts manufacturers intensifies. Moreover, many automobile parts and accessories manufacturers will suffer the pressure of the decreasing prices of automobile parts and accessories from assembly plants. Competition pressure will have a smaller impact on foreign automobile parts manufacturers in China as they possess patents and unique technology, thus are better able to resist price cuts.

WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 9 Industry Life Cycle This industry is in the growth stage of its life cycle. Life Cycle Stage Industry value added increased strongly in recent years There are frequent technology changes and innovations in this industry New products can be rapidly developed for downstream industries The Auto Part Manufacturing industry in China is in the growth phase of its life cycle. Industry value added is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 8.3% between 2011 and 2021, much faster than China's average GDP (6.5% per year) over the same period. The industry's enterprise and establishment numbers are also expected to increase during 2011 and 2021, indicating new market entrants and greater investment in sales network development. Technological changes and innovations are relatively frequent in the industry. Several foreign manufacturers that have recently entered the market have established joint ventures with local companies and brought advanced technologies and management expertise. This has contributed to the development of domestic manufacturers and the expansion of their operations. The domestic market still has unmet demand for high quality automobile parts and accessories. In addition, the average usage rate of automobiles remains relatively low, particularly in the central and western areas in China. Steady usage increases will stimulate further demand for automotive parts and accessories.

WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 21 Industry Globalization The level of globalization is medium and increasing. The Auto Part Manufacturing industry in China is subject to a medium globalization level, which is expected to increase in the future. Many export-oriented domestic companies have emerged in the past decade, which has accelerated industry globalization. China has become one of the top countries for automobile parts and accessories manufacturing in the world. In addition, several foreign automobile parts and accessories manufacturers have entered the China market in recent years by establishing factories and joint ventures with domestic firms. This resulted from strong domestic demand for high-quality automobile parts and accessories products in China. In addition, foreign firms see strong opportunities for company expansion and development in China. Foreign enterprises are estimated to account for about 43.3% of industry revenue in 2016. With greater levels of foreign investment in this industry in China in the future, the globalization trend is expected to increase.

WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 30 Operating Conditions Capital Intensity The level of capital intensity is medium. The Automobile Parts and Accessories Manufacturing Industry in China requires a significant level of capital investment Production tends to rely on large investments in capital equipment Large firms are highly automated and mechanized Small-scale manufacturers tend to be less capital intensive than large manufacturers Labor is also a significant input for this industry The Auto Part Manufacturing industry in China has a medium capital intensity level. For every dollar spent on wages (including management and administration costs and R&D), about 36 cents are invested in capital. Large-scale production requires significant capital for the installment of automated processes, equipment and machinery. Significant investment is also needed to upgrade plant and equipment, and for process and product development. Many manufacturing processes involve repetitive activities that are automated to increase production speed and cost efficiency. Small-scale manufacturers generally have lower capital investment levels than larger firms. This is due to the high cost of acquiring new equipment, which larger firms are usually more able to afford. In addition, small firms tend to produce relatively basic products. Technology & Systems The level of technology change is medium. The technology and systems used by companies operating in the Auto Part Manufacturing industry in China has advanced at a moderate rate in recent years. Manufacturers' scientific research ability and technical innovation have been enhanced in recent years. In the 1990s, firms lacked enough funds for research and development and technology was generally out of date. With the industry's development, manufacturers raised funds for research and development and adopted advanced technologies and systems. Some manufacturers have adopted computer aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) systems. These technologies continue to enhance production efficiency and the level and quality of products. Manufacturing ability also increased through joint ventures and mergers. Some foreign enterprises entered the China market through establishing joint-venture partnerships with local manufacturers. Several firms also merged to improve the manufacturing ability and cost structure. Now, increasing numbers of foreign enterprises have gained positions and market shares in the domestic market. Revenue Volatility The level of volatility is medium. Growth within China's Automobile Manufacturing industry has been strong in the past decade, and the number of vehicles in use across China has increased significantly. This has driven significant growth in the upstream Auto Part Manufacturing industry. Downstream auto manufacturing industries are diverse,

WWW.IBISWORLD.COM.CN Auto Parts Manufacturing in China June 2016 31 including complete automobiles, trucks, automobile bodies, modified motor vehicles, trailers, and trolley manufacturing. Additionally, well-known foreign manufacturers have entered the China market and stimulated strong and steady output growth in the current performance period. Development of the second-hand automobile market also stimulates demand for automobile parts and accessories. Meanwhile, growth in foreign demand in recent years has also expanded export growth. Regulation & Policy The level of regulation is medium and the trend is decreasing. The automobile sector has been highly protected by the government, with high import tariffs and regulations requiring production localization for complete automobile manufacturing and restrictions on imports of parts and accessories. Domestic manufacturers find it difficult to obtain import qualification even for high quality parts and accessories. There are strict regulations concerning the ownership of companies in this industry. Foreign enterprises wanting to enter the market and manufacture automotive parts and accessories in China must establish joint ventures with domestic or foreign complete automobile manufacturers. Firms in the industry are required to comply with government occupational health and safety regulations, acts and other mandatory requirements for employees, contractors and factory visitors. Firms are also subject to environmental laws and regulations dealing with noise, air and waste emissions, as well as with the use, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and chemicals. Industry Assistance The level of industry assistance is high and the trend of industry assistance is decreasing There are no specific tariffs for this industry. Since joining the World Trade Organization, China has been committed to opening its economy to the world, reducing customs duties and canceling some non-customs duty measures. The average customs duty of automobile parts and accessories decreased from 30.0% to 10.0%. Import quotas and permit and licensing systems have also been cancelled. However, import tariffs still vary across products. Item number 31 of the China Automobile Industry Development Policy states that the Chinese government guides and supports the Auto Part Manufacturing industry. It encourages private capital investment in the industry to help relatively advantageous enterprises become professional manufacturers and to further enhance production output and supply ability. High tariff rates can lead to some domestic firms being inefficient and reluctant to increase productivity. This is due to the higher prices of imported automotive parts and accessories.
