Summary
Below is the third of the serial research report about the recent trends among Japanese automotive parts suppliers operating in China. Part 3 contains results of MarkLines' research on the recent trends in eight cities (Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Shenzhen, Yunfu, Zhongshan, Shaoguan, Qingyuan) in the Guangdong province in the southern China in the past two years up to June 2012.
The main customers of the Japanese parts suppliers are three largest Japanese automakers that are rapidly expanding their existing plants or building new ones (new production lines) in Guangzhou city, Guangdong province.
Toyota plans to increase its annual capacity at the Guangzhou plant from 360,000 vehicles in 2011 to 600,000 by 2015.
In December 2011, Nissan started operation at its second Huadu plant of Guangzhou with an annual capacity of 270,000 vehicles. Nissan plans to increase its capacity in Guangzhou, including the first Huadu plant, from 600,000 vehicles at the end of 2011 to up to 800,000 vehicles by 2013.
Honda will start construction work at the end of 2012 of the third line at its Zengcheng plant to increase its annual capacity in Guangzhou from current 480,000 to 720,000 vehicles in 2015.
In response to these moves, Japanese parts suppliers are vigorously expanding their existing plants or building new plants in Guangdong province, especially in the city of Guangzhou and neighboring cities such as Dongguan and Foshan.
In addition, some suppliers including Tachi-S, NHK Spring and Unipres have established local headquarters in Guangzhou to control respective operations in China. Other companies, namely Hitachi Automotive Systems, F-Tech and Calsonic Kansei, have established development centers and Faltec has newly established a local development function.
