As an important part of the auto industry, the auto parts industry was once subject to the influence of the planned economic system and was basically limited to providing all kinds of supporting parts for the production of complete vehicles. Since the 1980s, with the rapid development of domestic economy, the introduction of foreign-funded enterprises and technologies, and the continuous enhancement of national consumption capacity, the auto parts industry has also experienced great changes.

1. Introduction of foreign capital and market competition: since the reform and opening up, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises have entered China's auto parts market, which has not only helped the auto parts industry greatly improve its overall scale, production capacity and technical level, but also caused competitive pressure on domestic enterprises, prompting domestic enterprises to continuously improve themselves in terms of quality, technology and market promotion.

2. Gradually integrate into global procurement: with the continuous development and maturity of the auto parts industry in the domestic market, various domestic enterprises not only provide supporting products to domestic vehicle manufacturers, but also gradually develop to the overseas market, and the export volume of auto parts has increased steadily.

3. Increase in the proportion of supporting services: with the continuous growth of automobile production and sales, the demand for automobile maintenance will also gradually expand. Therefore, while supporting the production enterprises, the demand for automobile parts in the after-sales maintenance market will also gradually expand. Benefiting from the continuous progress of scientific and technological level and the gradual emergence of the importance of environmental protection, the automobile industry continues to show a new development direction under the influence of policy, technology and consumer demand, and the automobile parts industry also continues to show a new development trend.

4. New energy vehicles: since the 20th century, the research and development of new energy vehicles has been carried out in many large automobile enterprises. With the continuous new understanding of the significance of energy conservation and emission reduction after entering the 21st century, new energy vehicles have obtained new development opportunities in recent years, and the sales of pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles in many markets around the world have gradually increased, The construction of supporting infrastructure such as charging piles has also been gradually improved. For auto parts enterprises, with the gradual increase of the market share of new energy vehicles, automotive batteries, motors and control systems will bring new market space.

5. Automobile lightweight: in addition to new energy vehicles, whether the weight reduction can significantly reduce the fuel consumption of vehicles, so automobile lightweight is also one of the lakes in the automobile industry under the background of energy conservation and emission reduction. Recently, the focus of automobile lightweight mainly focuses on the optimization of body structure and lightweight materials. For enterprises producing automobile chassis, body, engine and other parts, the research results of lightweight are of great value to the sustainability of enterprise growth in the future.

6. Intellectualization: in recent years, new technologies emerging in smart phones, smart appliances and other fields have gradually entered consumers' daily life. Affected by this, smart cars, driverless and other fields have also become hot areas of the automotive industry in recent years. Under the influence of this trend, human-computer interaction, on-board entertainment system and communication system are expected to become new favorites of the auto parts industry and usher in new development opportunities in the next few years. With the recovery of domestic manufacturing industry in 2016 and the recovery of production and sales growth of the auto industry, the auto parts industry has also rebounded, and the output growth of some products has rebounded in different degrees compared with the previous year. Among them, the output of rubber tires reached 94.7 billion, with a year-on-year growth rate of 2.4%; The engine output was 2260.01 million KW, a year-on-year increase of 11.2%.
