Six major gaps in China's auto parts industry

The global auto parts industry is highly competitive, with Delphi Corporation leading the way in sales. As one of the top 100 automotive suppliers worldwide, Delphi reported annual sales of $26.4 billion in automotive parts and components. In contrast, the 100th largest supplier, Excellence Industrial International Corporation, generated $5.06 billion in revenue. This shows that China’s auto parts sector is not far behind globally in terms of sales volume, but there are still significant gaps in other areas. When it comes to research and development (R&D), the disparity becomes more apparent. Industry standards suggest that auto parts companies should invest 1.2 to 1.5 times more in R&D than整车 manufacturers. However, in China, the investment is often less than 0.3 times. As a result, many Chinese auto parts firms struggle to keep up with technological advancements. On average, these companies spend only 1% to 1.5% of their sales on R&D, compared to 3% to 5% or even 10% in developed countries. A 2003 survey of China's top 500 machinery companies revealed that only 23 out of 57 auto parts firms had full product development capabilities, while the rest were limited to partial or adaptive development—often just meeting local requirements rather than advanced or system-level innovation. In terms of production and supply methods, the world has moved toward modularization and "ready-to-install" assembly concepts. These strategies improve efficiency, reduce costs, and boost competitiveness. For example, the cockpit of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV produced in Alabama is supplied as a complete module. Delphi coordinated 140 different cockpit modules from 35 suppliers across six countries, completing the entire process in just 120 minutes. In China, modular supply systems are still in early stages, with only a few companies adopting this approach. Global automakers have also restructured their supply chains, shifting from multiple suppliers to fewer system suppliers and from individual parts to modular procurement. This trend requires auto parts manufacturers to adapt by offering high-quality, cost-effective solutions. As a result, the global supply chain has evolved into a "pagoda" structure, where top manufacturers manage the entire network. However, Chinese auto parts exporters face challenges such as fragmentation, inconsistency, and inefficiency. Over 65.5% of China’s auto parts exports consist of small orders valued under $10,000, leading to disorganization in the export sector. Technologically, the world’s leading auto parts companies integrate advanced technologies like aerospace, electronics, and environmental engineering into their products. Electronic information technology is now embedded in every stage of design, production, and management. In contrast, China’s auto parts exports are largely composed of low-tech, labor-intensive, or material-heavy products, lacking the sophistication seen in global markets. Finally, information dissemination remains a major barrier for Chinese auto parts companies trying to enter the global market. In foreign markets, industry associations, peer reviews, and professional networks help bridge the gap. Multinational corporations often rely on consulting firms to find suitable suppliers. In China, however, the search for reliable partners is likened to finding a needle in a haystack. To succeed, Chinese suppliers need to adopt international-standard information collection practices, which can help them connect with global buyers and realize their potential in the international market.
