1、 Current industry challenges
Rising costs and vicious competition
The rise in crude oil prices coupled with international turbulence has led to a continuous increase in the cost of basic materials such as lubricants, resulting in a significant compression of profit margins.
The price war among peers is fierce, and some parts are even priced lower than the purchase cost, such as the gross profit margin of original parts being less than 5%.
Repair shop orders need to face quotes from more than 20 suppliers simultaneously, intensifying disorderly competition.
Inventory and cash flow pressure
The average inventory turnover days are as high as 65 days (internationally advanced level is 45 days), and the capital occupation is severe.
The financing cost of small and medium-sized enterprises is 3-5 percentage points higher than that of large enterprises, and the financing coverage rate is less than 30%.
Impact of New Energy Transition
The shrinking demand for traditional fuel vehicle parts and the immature supply system for new energy exclusive parts have led to the risk of inventory backlog.
2、 Opportunities for structural change
1. Market size and growth drivers2. Technology driven value reconstruction
Intelligent networking: V2X communication latency exceeds 20ms, accelerating the popularization of vehicle road collaboration equipment.
