A few days ago, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers announced the production and sales of the automobile market in the first half of 2012. In the first half of this year, the production and sales of automobiles were 9,529,200 vehicles and 9,598,100 vehicles, an increase of 4.08% and 2.93% respectively. We can see that in the first half of this year, the national automobile market showed a growth trend of "first low and then high". However, the overall situation is still not optimistic. Affected by the economic situation at home and abroad, the overall auto market will not rebound soon, and the form of flattening has become the consensus of the industry.

Without the rapid advancement of the auto market, the subsidiary auto parts market is also slightly depressed, and the supporting areas are greatly restricted. Faced with the downturn in the auto market, the procurement of parts and components has also been slightly cautious. The number of items purchased by buyers has decreased significantly compared with last year. The increase in customer development costs of suppliers, and the sensitivity of buyers to suppliers in terms of quality and capacity, especially prices, puts suppliers under heavy pressure. A person in charge of a supplier company in Zhejiang said to a Gasgoo.com reporter, "The current supporting business is becoming more and more difficult. On the one hand, demand is reduced and competition is intensified; on the other hand, the increase in raw materials and labor costs makes the original Companies with meager profits are even more difficult. It is understood that this situation has appeared since last year. After the cold winter, most people thought that the situation would be relatively better this year, but so far, there is still no sign of recovery. Coupled with the recent purchase restrictions The turmoil has caused many auto stocks to fall across the board, and the life of automakers has become even more sad. Parts and components manufacturers in the downstream of the industry chain have to pay for the sluggish auto market. The typical "sandwich" phenomenon also appears. The "sandwich" phenomenon refers to Suppliers of parts and components are caught between downstream raw material suppliers and automakers, and the situation can be described as worrying. Parts companies need more innovation and breakthroughs to obtain survival and development opportunities. For this reason, Gasgoo.com organized a special matching procurement meeting to help suppliers Seamlessly connect with buyers. In the first half of the year, Geshi organized 5 large and medium-sized procurement and distribution meetings and 11 single-match buyer meetings for stamping parts, castings, interior and exterior decoration, fasteners and other fields. The development of supporting industries.

Although the overall market is not optimistic, some suppliers have expressed that they have been prepared for the downturn in the market environment. On the one hand, they maintain the development of the original supporting business and actively expand into new ones with the help of e-commerce platforms and on-site procurement matching models. Customers expect to recover after the cold winter; on the other hand, the transformation of enterprises is also urgent. Although the supporting fields are sluggish and the international environment is not optimistic, the domestic automotive aftermarket is an emerging cake, although the aftermarket is still very Chaos, but from a series of activities of trusted brands and genuine parts in the automotive aftermarket, it can also be seen that the society's efforts to purify the market are positive and the effect will definitely appear. Some companies hope to seize the opportunity and actively develop the automotive aftermarket business. Under the unstable situation this year, they will walk on two legs and seek new development through transformation.
