While small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) make up the majority of the auto parts industry, conglomerates have an absolute advantage in OEM sales, accounting for 78.3% of the total OEM deliveries in 2013. •�This is mainly due to the fact that the conglomerates are at the top of the auto parts supply

chain and thus have benefitted from the growth of the domestic auto and auto parts industry, mergers and acquisitions in the market and the parts standardization trend created by modularization and platform integration.

Since the mid-2000s, auto parts exports have been rapidly growing and leading industry growth, with its growth rate exceeding that of total sales. •�Total industry sales have increased 8.6% annually on average while exports have soared 14.9%

over the past five years.•�This is due to increased direct exports to global finished-automakers and auto parts

manufacturers, and the increased export of local auto parts due to the expanding overseas production of Korean finished-automobile manufacturers.

The list shows that the main auto parts export items are other auto body parts, gear boxes and clutches and their parts, while the industry’s main import items are gear boxes, engine parts and fuel pumps.•�Uncategorized and miscellaneous parts rather than specific unit parts make up the majority

of exports. For example, miscellaneous auto parts accounted for 52.1% of the total exports in 2013, while other auto body parts accounted for 10.3% of total exports the same year.

•�Despite the increased overseas automobile production, the export of gear boxes, especially automatic transmissions that are difficult to procure locally, have significantly increased.

The major export markets of Korea’s auto parts industry are the USA, China, Russia, India, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and other countries where Korean finished-automobile makers have established overseas production facilities.•�While the industry’s overseas production volume is highest in China, Korea exports most to

the United States (22.9%). This is because the high sales volume of Korean automobiles in the United States has resulted in great demand for A/S parts.

•�China is Korea’s second-largest auto part export market, following the United States, but the importance of the Chinese market is relatively low due to localization and other issues.

Status of Korea’s auto parts manufacturers The five leading Korean auto parts companies whose annual sales exceeded KRW 1 trillion in 2013 are Hyundai Mobis (KRW 17.512 trillion), Hyundai Wia (KRW 6.287 trillion), Hyundai Powertech (KRW 3.274 trillion), Hyundai Dymos (KRW 1.6040 trillion) and Hyundai Kefico (KRW 1.5030 trillion).

Car manufacturing plants

Southwest Belt Auto parts makers in the southwestern area form a belt stretching from the Gimje·Iksan·Jeongeup area to the Gunsan·Wanju area, reaching Gwangju.

•�In North Jeolla Province, large complexes, including the Wanju Industrial Complex 3 (Hyundai Motor Company), Iksan Industrial Complex 2 (Mando) and Gunsan Industrial Complex (GM Korea), and parts subcontractors equipped with injection, press, die casting and precision casting production technologies, are concentrated.•�The North Jeolla Province area is also home to manufacturing clusters for passenger

automobiles, commercial vehicles, special vehicles, tractors and agricultural machines.

Korea’s four auto majors – Hyundai Motor Company, GM Korea, Tata Daewoo and Kia Motors – are located in the southwest area. •�Gunsan, Jeonju and Gwangju of North Jeolla Province account for 17% of Korea’s auto

production capacity, with an annual production capacity of 760,000 cars (mainly passenger and commercial vehicles).•�The region accounts for 93% of Korea’s medium- and large-sized commercial automobile

production and for all of the medium- and large-sized trucks in Korea.

Kia Motors plants are located in Gwangju, and their annual production capacity is 600,000 cars (mainly SUVs and CUVs).•�South Jeolla Province provides a favorable environment for an auto industry belt because it is

home to auto parts and materials clusters where POSCO (Gwangyang Steelworks), Hyundai Hysco and other companies in the Yeocheon Petrochemical Complex produce every essential material, including metal, ceramic and chemicals (plastic).

1514 02 PROSPECTS AND GEOGRAPHICAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES AUTO & AUTO PARTS

West Coast Belt The West Coast Auto Industry Belt has been formed in and around Gyeonggi and South Chungcheong Provinces.

Local auto parts makers, including Hyundai Mobis (Giheung), Mando (Giheung) and Hyundai Wia (Hwaseong), and globally leading auto parts companies such as Bosch (Germany, Yongin), Siemens (Germany, Icheon) and Delphi (USA, Giheung) are located in Gyeonggi Province.•�The province also accommodates Namyang Research Center of the Hyundai Kia Automotive

Group, the research centers and plants of other major auto parts makers and three of Korea’s six proving grounds – located in the Hyundai Namyang Research Center, Kia Joam Research Center and Korea Transportation Safety Authority Hwaseong Research Center.

In Chungcheong Province, auto makers are clustered in the southern part, and the province ranks third for production capacity in Korea, following Ulsan and Gyeonggi Province in terms of finished-automobile plants.•�78 primary subcontractors, including three major auto parts makers – Hyundai Mobis (Asan),

Daihan Climate Control (Cheonan) and Hyundai Powertech (Seosan) – are concentrated in the Cheonan, Asan and Dangjin areas.

•�The North Chungcheong area is home to Hyundai Autonet and other primary sub-contractors for automotive electronics. Nine primary sub-contractors, including Halla Visteon Climate Control Corp, are located in the Daejeon area.

Southeast Belt The auto industry in the Southeast Belt is the largest, accounting for 29% of the total domestic manufacturing companies and 36.7% of the total yield.•�Although the three areas in the Southeast Belt – the Ulsan, Busan, South Gyeongsang Province

areas – maintain close work relations, the Ulsan and South Gyeongsang Province areas in particular have high self-supply rates.

•�This is mainly due to the fact that Korea’s major finished-automobile manufacturers – Hyundai Motor (the largest domestic automaker), Renault Samsung and GM Korea – are all located in the regions.

The Ulsan auto cluster is led by conglomerates. It comprises Hyundai Motor and parts conglomerates that supply parts to Hyundai Motor.•�Along with experience and expertise operating auto production facilities, the companies in

the cluster are well equipped with transportation infrastructure, logistics systems and a skilled labor force.

•�As the cluster’s main focus is on manufacturing and production, its R&D innovation network is rather weak.

Although the domestic auto parts industry is more price competitive than that of Japan, the price gap between Korean and Chinese products is widening.•�Korea is narrowing its price competitiveness gap with Japan, recording 87.5% compared to

Japan’s 100%. However, the difference in price competitiveness between Korea and China has widened from 12.2% to 14.7%.

The quality competitiveness of domestic auto parts makers is rapidly improving, narrowing the gap with Japan while widening the gap with China.•�Korea’s quality competitiveness increased from 91.6 in 2004 to 93.5 in 2012 while Chinese auto

parts makers achieved a small increase, from 73.9 to 74.9•�This is due to improvements in various areas, including the skill level of workers, production

facility, the level of efficiency in production processing, quality of parts and part design.

As for technological competitiveness, domestic auto parts makers are narrowing their gap with Japanese counterparts, but they are rapidly being chased by Chinese auto part manufacturers.•�Korea’s technological competitiveness went up by 3.9 percentage points, from 87.4 in 2004 to

91.3 in 2012, while China’s technological competitiveness saw a 6.9 percentage point increase, from 67.0 to 73.9, during the same period.

Promising regionsThe Korean government is promoting a synergy effect between the enhancement of regional innovation capacity and specialization development, through providing support for industry-academia-research institute projects tailored to each region’s needs.

For example, the government is promoting convergence parts that use materials in North Gyeongsang Province; intelligent auto parts in Daegu; green electric vehicle parts in Ulsan; and untapped areas in the unit parts field, such as quality certification in Busan.

Promising industrial fieldsStrengthened regulations on fuel efficiency, environment and safety have accelerated the development of green vehicles. In order to provide intensive support, the government has designated 8 core green vehicle parts, which are in urgent need of development due to a technology gap with advanced countries.•�The government plans to achieve 100% domestic development of EV motors, air control

systems, parts weight reduction, batteries and chargers, power train systems for hybrid vehicles, fuel cell vehicle stacks, core parts for common rail systems and after-treatment equipment for clean diesel vehicles, etc.

•�Amid the changing environment of the auto industry, demand for such parts is expected to grow. The government will continue with its support as part of its plan to advance the structure of the auto industry.

Development plans for green vehicle core parts

Core parts Development plans

Motor Develop motor miniaturization design technologies to enhance power density and efficiency

Air control system Develop parts, including pumps and those for the heating system, to enhance the performance of EV air conditioning systems

Weight reduction Develop lightening technologies through optimal design for auto bodies and convenience systems

Battery Develop battery technologies to increase the one-charge driving range from 140 km to 200 km and reduce the slow charging time from 6 hours to 3 hours

With an increasing number of required auto parts due to strengthened transport safety regulations, the outlook for such parts is also promising.•�A list of parts, including AEB, eCall (Emergency Call), rear view, FCWS and LDWS, is expected to

become mandatory automobile equipment. Small compact cars will be required to have parts that are currently required only for large vehicles.•�Although Korea’s auto parts industry has competitive module and system unit part

technologies, it strives to domestically produce core parts and unit parts, including sensors and auto semiconductors, respectively.

Development efforts to enhance the efficiency of existing combustion engine vehicles are well underway. Parts related to multi-range transmissions and high-performance small engines are thus expected to have bright prospects. •�Related technologies include a before / after treatment system for combustion engine vehicles,

alternative fuel vehicle technologies, recycling technologies, high-performance engine technologies and miniaturization and weight reduction technologies.•�The outlook is bright for the following parts: Core parts including turbo chargers, which are

necessary for engine downsizing to improve efficiency, and those for direct injection systems; and parts related to multi-range transmissions to enhance fuel efficiency.

As the price competitiveness and quality of Korean auto parts are well recognized in the global market, parts with great export potential are also considered promising. •�As automobile chassis parts, which are parts for the brake system, suspension system and

steering system, are relatively small and light compared to other parts, chassis parts exports can be expanded.•�The exports of engine and transmission parts are highly likely to grow, as they are also small,

light and equipped with highly competitive domestic technologies.

Page 10: AUTO & AUTO PARTS

1918 AUTO & AUTO PARTS

R&D efforts are significantly important for automotive electronics parts, as the production of parts is completed only after fine adjustments – for example, adjustments on power currents – on each model of vehicles, which takes place after the completion of product development.•�Although the competitiveness of domestic parts makers in this field is rather weak now, the

country’s IT competitiveness can enhance the growth of the field.

The production trend of Korean finished-automobile manufacturers from 2004 to 2013 shows a drastic increase, from 3.178 million cars (2003) to 4.562 million cars (2012).•�Although there have been ups and downs due to the economic recession or strikes, the overall

production trend is on a steep rise.•�The current production capacity is reaching its limit due to the long absence of new

production facility establishments, but the global reputation of the domestic auto industry is being solidified with increased sales through overseas production.

Spurred by the growth of the downstream industry, the domestic auto parts industry is showing steady growth in terms of revenue.•�The domestic auto parts industry is expected to be on the same growth track as its

downstream industry, the automotive industry.•�The exterior growth trend is forecast to continue thanks to existing growth contributors

including the increased unit price of sales per vehicle due to improved specifications and sophistication (OEM revenue), the increased number of domestic vehicles in use (A/S revenue), the expanded overseas production of domestic companies and the global parts sourcing of overseas finished-auto makers.

A strong global sourcing trend has translated into the increased deliveries of Korean parts makers, which are well equipped with high price and quality competitiveness, to global auto makers. •�Domestic parts makers will enjoy great opportunities to participate in the global sourcing

trend, especially with overseas auto makers that are based in Korea.

As domestic auto production is stagnant, with overseas finished-automobile production exceeding 50% of the total production, the importance of the parts industry in Korea’s overall auto industry will grow.•�Expanded overseas production is expected to negatively affect Korea’s auto exports. However,

increased parts exports to overseas production facilities run by domestic companies and global automobile manufacturers are expected to offset such loss.
