The Expo has attracted extensive attention from global auto industries as well as the media.

The exhibits will mainly be auto parts and components (excluding those for motorcycles) and a few whole cars with China’s own independent IPR as supplements. The aim is to, through joint efforts, make the Expo become an internationally well-known, authoritative and professional exhibition of auto parts well received by both domestic and global auto industries as well as the media.

The Media Questions & Answers for the First
China International Auto Parts Expo
1. How did China International Auto Parts Expo come into being?
Different from other industries, the automobile industry is one of the pillar industries in the national economy of a country, and an important indication of the level of its industrialization. Given the fact that the automobile industry gives strong push to the national economy, and is broadly related to other industries, and makes higher contribution to social employment and welfare, developed countries around the world have defined it as a strategic industry and have offered major supports to its development. After five decades of growth, China has become the third largest vehicle manufacturer, the second largest consumer and the largest potential market of automobiles in the world. The added industrial value of China’s automobile industry reported a 34.5% year on year increase to 379.1 billion yuan in 2006, and accounted for 4.2% of the total national added industrial value. The output of automobiles amounted to 7.28 million units, with an increase of 27.3% over the same period in 2005.
As one of the industries with the highest level of globalization in the world, the automobile industry is huge in market size and multiple in demand layers. In 2005, the global trade volume of auto products exceeded US$950 billion, accounting for 10% of the total global commodity trade, and was the largest major commodity category in world trade. Over the past years, China has also witnessed a rapid growth in its automobile and auto parts trade. The export volume of these two commodities amounted to US$15.84 billion in 2006, increase by 45% compared with the same period of the year 2005. However, compared with the other global auto giants, the aggregate amount of China’s auto products trade remained small. In 2005, the export volume of China’s automobiles and auto parts accounted for 7.3% in the total output of its auto industries, and accounted for only 1.1% of the world’s total auto trade volume. This has marked a big gap between China and other major automobile manufacturers such as Japan, Germany and Korea, whose 40% of automobile outputs are for export. And this also marked the huge potential for further development of China’s automobile industry. In addition, given that China has already established its international automobile shows, many professionals from Chinese and foreign automobile industries have expressed their wish to the Government for building a professional and authoritative platform of auto parts in order to better boost the exchanges and cooperation between domestic and overseas enterprises.
Up to now, China has seen a rapid development in its automobile industry and has boasted a multitude of auto parts enterprises with increased strength. However, it has also fallen behind in building a platform for exhibition, exchanges, cooperation and trade for auto parts enterprises both at home and abroad. The problems of low internationalization, marketization and specialization generally exist in current auto parts exhibitions, and the awareness of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection is comparatively weak in some of them. Therefore, it is important for China to build a State-level, international platform for exhibition and trade in order to display the overall strength of its auto parts industry as well as to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation between its domestic and foreign auto parts enterprises. This platform will also play an active and collaborative role in enhancing the awareness of IPR protection and boosting the balance in international trade.
