Driven by the expansion of the automotive manufacturing sector, Guangzhou's auto parts industry has matured and is now experiencing a period of rapid growth. At the "Guangzhou Auto Parts Industry Information Exchange Conference," jointly organized by government agencies and industry associations for the first time, it was revealed that the city aims to boost the output value of its auto parts sector to between 80 billion and 100 billion yuan by 2010, making up over 40% of the total automotive industry output. The formation of an auto parts industry cluster has been a key development in recent years. Ping Xinguang, Director of the Guangzhou Municipal Economic Commission, shared that last year there were 29 auto parts companies with a combined output of 6.5 billion yuan. By September this year, the number had risen to 41, with an output value of 7.8 billion yuan. Including smaller enterprises, the total number of auto parts producers exceeds 200, and their combined output has surpassed 10 billion yuan. Most of these companies are Japanese-invested, with 21 firms generating more than 5 million U.S. dollars in annual revenue. Their products span electrical components and chassis systems, with automotive electronics showing particular promise. Of the auto parts companies in Guangzhou, 53 are suppliers for brands like Honda and Dongfeng Nissan, while 86% serve foreign automakers. This highlights significant potential for local enterprises to grow and gain more market share. Currently, the “three major systems and four large groups” have taken shape in Guangzhou’s auto parts production. The eastern region includes the Development Zone, Zengcheng, and Huangpu clusters, with 33 companies alone in the Development Zone. In the north, the Huadu group consists of 25 component firms, with a total investment of 2 billion yuan and 41 more under discussion. In the south, Nansha is set to develop an auto parts industrial park following Toyota’s arrival, while Baiyun District is also planning a similar initiative. Looking ahead, Guangzhou aims for auto parts to account for 40% of the total automotive industry output by 2010. With a projected annual vehicle production of 1 million units, the combined output value of complete vehicles and parts is expected to reach 300 billion yuan. While developed countries typically maintain a 1:1.7 ratio between vehicles and parts, Guangzhou currently stands at 1:0.31, with a matching rate of only 8%, far behind the 80% seen in advanced markets. This gap presents a major opportunity for growth in the coming years. Ping Xinguang emphasized that Guangzhou will focus on strengthening the auto parts industry through resource integration, industrial restructuring, and helping qualified companies become national suppliers. Leveraging global procurement and sales networks of multinational corporations will allow the industry to "go global." Expanding local supplier ratios and attracting original equipment manufacturers’ suppliers to Guangzhou is another strategic move. Additionally, improving technology and innovation, boosting exports, developing e-commerce platforms, and cultivating skilled professionals in the automotive field will be crucial steps forward. By 2010, Guangzhou hopes to achieve an auto parts output value of 80–100 billion yuan, accounting for over 40% of the total automotive industry output, with the parts-to-vehicle ratio reaching 1:0.67. This ambitious plan reflects the city’s commitment to becoming a major player in the global auto parts market.
