China Automotive Plastic Parts Industry Report, 2011-2015
Research In China, Aug 2011, Pages: 105
The global consumption of plastics per car by the late 1990s averaged 50-60kg, with the figure in 2005 soaring to 150kg from 105kg in 2000. With the growing popularity of light-weight vehicles, the consumption of automotive plastics is expected to rise.
China has become the largest automotive producer in the world, with over thirty years development, and China's sales volume in 2009 and 2010 also ranked first globally. The robust automobile market drives the progression of the automotive plastic parts industry; and the average application of plastics for mid-grade sedan cars approximates 130kg/unit. In 2010, the Chinese passenger car plastic parts market reached a value of around RMB58.2 billion and the figure will hit RMB85.12 billion in 2015.
There are numerous manufacturers of automotive plastic parts in China, with an aggressive competitive landscape. These manufacturers can be broadly classified as the first-tier suppliers and second-tier suppliers.
The first-tier supplier refers to foreign-funded enterprises and joint ventures which directly provide supporting services for complete vehicle manufacturers. Most first-tier suppliers specialize in a field. Taking Germany-based Behr for example, it established SBTS and DBTS as its branches primarily focused on the production of heat exchange systems and related plastics parts, with major customers including Shanghai Automotive and Dongfeng Automotive.
The second-tier supplier mainly refers to domestic enterprises which largely offer supporting services for first-tier suppliers. The second-tier suppliers are mainly involved in the manufacture of automotive plastic parts such as bumpers and dashboards. A case in point is Century Huatong, the products of which cover many fields like heat exchange system plastic parts, internal & external decoration plastic parts, air-conditioning system plastic parts, car lamp system plastic parts, and safety system plastic parts, with major customers being first-tier suppliers such as SBTS, Yanfeng Visteon, Shanghai Koito and Shanghai Delphi.
Presently, Sino-foreign joint ventures are still the most competitive leaders among China-based manufacturers of automotive plastics parts. Meanwhile, domestic-funded enterprises are speeding up their space for further development. In particular, NBHX has grown into a first-tier automotive parts supplier. Moreover, enterprises like JNMPT, Shuanglin and Shunrong are committed to expanding their first-tier mating business, expecting to see huge potential.
