Bromsgrove, Worcestershire (PRWEB) November 1, 2007 -- China's automotive components industry is experiencing rapid growth on the back of a soaring vehicle manufacturing sector, but the local parts industry faces challenges ahead and is weak in some areas, according to research undertaken by automotive industry website just-auto.com.
just-auto's research estimates that the Chinese parts and accessories market (http://www.just-auto.com/store/product.aspx?ID=53208&lk=sup) is growing at an impressive 15% a year. Some 80% of that market is accounted for by OE supply to local vehicle manufacturers.
China is still the land of opportunity for the global auto industry (http://www.just-auto.com) - for vehicle makers and component companies alike.
But it is also fraught with problems, and although labour costs are still the lowest on offer, China perhaps does not represent the best option for companies looking to source from low-cost countries.
The report notes that research and development (R&D) capabilities among Chinese component companies are very weak, with many spending less than 2% of their budget on R&D compared to a typical figure of 5-10% among foreign companies.
Global sourcing from Chinese suppliers is also fraught with difficulties. Quality remains an issue - aside from the most basic mechanical parts, few Chinese companies have the R&D capability to engineer complex parts - though the larger local suppliers are starting to develop these skills. Some are even opening local offices in Europe and North America to help communications. In any case it would seem essential to have a representative office in China in order to keep closer contact with suppliers.
The issue of intellectual property rights also has not gone away, just-auto says. China may have moved past outright design piracy of entire cars, but design theft of components is still rife, appears to be culturally acceptable, and is almost impossible to police.
And despite the low labour costs, other Chinese costs are not so advantageous, according to just-auto's research.

Cheap Auto Parts Why Discount Auto Parts Are Better Than Used Car Parts
It is extremely common for a car to break down and need a part replaced. Most car owners have already experienced this, and those who haven't, will do so at some point in the future. Many car owners are also aware that cheap auto parts are available if one knows where to look for them. However, this is where most people's understanding of cheap auto parts available at discount prices ends. Either most people end up paying premium prices for the parts, or trust that the cheap used car part being installed by the mechanic is indeed the best deal available. But is this true?

If you want to have some adventure with your favorite ride, driving off the road is one great experience. However there are a lot of things that you need to consider before your ride can endure tough road conditions. First, you have to gear up your truck or SUV with important auto parts and accessories that are intended for off-roading. These off road products are specially designed and manufactured to sustain quality ride characteristics and good control while driving on unpaved roads such as deep gumbo mud, snow, rocks and other rough terrain.
ECS Auto Stores, Inc. started as East Coast Speed and Sport Shop with humble beginnings in 1967, but quickly grew to become a popular source for discount prices on a wide array of automotive speed and performance parts. Now, more than 40 years later, the company has expanded online to ecsautostores.com as a means of attracting a new generation of racers and auto enthusiasts.
The Internet is giving consumers who buy used engines or used transmissions for their cars or trucks better products, better value, better selection and new, cost-effective shopping alternatives. Joey Woodfin, chief executive officer of EverDrive LLC, a leading supplier of used car parts says that most consumers are not aware of the dramatic changes that have taken place in the used auto parts market in recent years and how much easier and safer it is to shop for and to buy everything from the smallest to the most significant auto part used.
