2022-07-25
Some say that the automobile is one of the most technologically advanced industries in the world, and that every component—and especially its configuration—is of paramount importance. To build a complete, high-quality vehicle, automotive parts must be meticulously manufactured, with each component forming an integral part of the overall assembly and supporting the broader processes of automotive parts production. As the foundation for research into the automotive industry, automotive components are a critical factor in sustaining the industry’s economic growth and ensuring its long-term, healthy development. Next, let us examine the current trends shaping the future of the Fenghai automotive parts industry.

(1) The Cyclical Nature of the Fenghai Automotive Components Industry
The automotive components industry, as the midstream segment of the automotive value chain, is closely linked to the broader automotive industry, which in turn is intimately tied to overall national economic development. Consequently, driven by fluctuations in the national economic cycle and the downstream automotive sector, the automotive air-intake systems industry exhibits a certain degree of cyclicality. During periods of macroeconomic expansion, both the automotive industry and the automotive air-intake systems sector tend to grow; conversely, when the macroeconomy slows and the automotive industry decelerates, production and sales in the air-intake systems sector are adversely affected. Small firms in the industry that lack well-known OEM customers are particularly sensitive to macroeconomic volatility, whereas established, brand-name companies generally demonstrate more stable market performance.
(2) Regional nature of the Fenghai automotive parts industry
The automotive components industry exhibits distinct regional characteristics. As the sector primarily serves the vehicle-as-a-whole market, the development of the automotive industry in China and globally has been marked by increasing concentration and scale.
During its development, China’s automotive parts industry has gradually evolved into six major industrial clusters centered around automobile manufacturing plants: the Yangtze River Delta cluster, the Pearl River Delta cluster, the Northeast cluster, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei metropolitan area cluster, the Central China cluster (covering Hubei, Anhui, and Hunan provinces), and the Southwest cluster centered on Chongqing and Sichuan. These six clusters account for the vast majority of the national automotive parts industry’s main business revenue, thereby occupying a dominant position in the sector.
(3) Seasonality in the Fenghai Automotive Parts Industry
The seasonality of the auto parts industry is broadly aligned with that of the automotive industry. Given that automobile production and sales exhibit no pronounced seasonal patterns except during major holidays such as the Spring Festival, Fenghai’s auto parts companies typically maintain a balanced production and sales schedule throughout the year in response to downstream automotive demand. Consequently, the intake system subsector—being one of Fenghai’s auto parts divisions—does display distinct seasonal characteristics.
Furthermore, Fenghai automotive electrical components are a particularly important category of automotive parts, encompassing batteries, battery terminals, battery cables, cable ends, starter motors, magnetic switches, one-way devices, rotors, stators, carbon brushes, brush holders, copper bushings, bearings, starter relays, ignition switches, voltage regulators, and engine-related components. They also include wiper motors, heater motors, heater resistors, heater switches, intermittent wiper relays, various types of switches, and numerous other accessories.
