1. OVERVIEW

The automotive industry is Canada’s largest manufacturing sector, accounting for 12 per cent of manufacturing GDP and 24 per cent of manufacturing trade. It employs 158,302 people in automotive assembly and component manufacturing, and another 336,212 in distribution and aftermarket sales and service.

The world economic downturn had impacted every level of the Canadian automotive value chain, from dealers and extending to every major player in the industry. The US based automakers particularly General Motors Corp and Chrysler LLC have been hit hard by the recession. Both are operating under US bankruptcy protection and have temporarily shut down their North American plants to reduce inventory in response to the weaker demand due to the global recession.

Small and medium-sized OEM suppliers have been severely affected and many did not survive through this economic rough ride. The escalating Canadian dollar has also resulted in many of these companies cutting down their production costs and reducing number of employees. The larger manufacturers, however, stand to increase their global market share through strategic business partnership and increase offshore imports for price competitive auto parts.

The long term outlook of the Canadian automotive industry is mixed with some good prospects, although recovery of the overall North American automotive market will take time. There are exports opportunities exist for foreign parts manufacturers to supply EOM suppliers in Canada with cost effective and higher value-added auto parts attributed to growing demand for safe, environmentally friendly and fuel efficient vehicles.

2. INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION

The industry has five general segments (according to Industry Canada):1. vehicle assembly2. auto parts and component manufacturing

o US$31.7 billion industryo has more than 650 establishments which produce original equipment and

aftermarket auto parts, components and systems. Notes: ¹In the automotive industry, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is

the industry's brand name auto manufacturer such as Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, etc. The OEM definition constitutes a federally-licensed entity required to warrant and/or guarantee their products, unlike "aftermarket" which is not legally bound to a government-dictated level of liability. ²OEM also applies to a multitude of licensed component manufacturers, such as Ferodo, Bosch, BBS, NGK, etc. While these meet the industry definition of OEM, they are frequently called OEM Suppliers within the industry to prevent confusion with the automobile brand names. OEM suppliers manufacture parts and components for automakers (OEMs) for use in the assembly or production of new vehicles while the aftermarket deals with the production of parts and components to replace or supplement parts that were included in a vehicle’s original assembly.

3. motor vehicle body and trailer sector4. authorized automotive network5. automotive aftermarket

o US$17.8 billion industryo composed of companies that manufacture, distribute and install automotive

replacement parts, accessories, tools and equipment.

The Canadian auto parts market can be divided into two subsectors:

1. Original Equipment Auto Parts - used in the production of new vehicles

Canada is home to many world renowned auto manufacturers, including GM, Ford, Daimler, Chrysler, Toyota and Honda, while truck manufacturers include DaimlerChrysler, Navistar, Hino and many others. These manufacturers design and assemble their vehicles but they rely and outsource the production of their vehicle parts to OEM manufacturers/suppliers.

The manufacturing process follows the supply chain which is traditionally organized in tiers. There are three basic types of OEM suppliers: Tier 1 suppliers - provide parts and systems directly to the automaker (eg the fuel

pump) and must meet the technical and quality specifications and requirements requested by the manufacturer.

Tier 2 suppliers - provide simpler components for the parts and systems that Tier-one suppliers produce for the manufacturer.

Tier 3 suppliers - provide components for the parts and systems that Tier-two and Tier-one suppliers produce for the vehicle manufacturer.

The tier-one direct suppliers are large global firms, which are either specialized in complex systems, or integrators of several simpler subsystems. As the tier suppliers attributions become more significant, they are playing a more important role as systems integrators, capable of designing and integrating components, subassemblies, and systems into modules that are shipped or placed directly by the supplier in the automakers’ assembly plants, systems manufacturers setting standards for components, systems or subsystems, and raw material supplier supplying raw materials to other tiers. All the suppliers are interrelated, and interconnected. Many of them have to supply “just-in-time” and when this does not happen, the whole manufacturing chain is affected.

2. Auto Aftermarket Parts and Accessories - used to repair and replace auto parts once the car has left the dealership

Higher demand for quality spare parts drives the automotive aftermarket. The increasing number of vehicles on the road, translating into demand for spare parts and offsets the intense competition and market maturity in the automotive aftermarket. Research also suggests that most owners of vehicles that are older than five years turn to the aftermarket for parts. The prevalent aggressive driving style leads to faster wearing out of tires and other parts of the vehicles.

The automotive aftermarket is experiencing severe price pressures, vendor consolidation, and intense distributor consolidation and is witnessing the emergence of increasingly powerful distributors. Imported products are currently flooding the

4

Page 5: PMS2009-Canadian Auto Parts Market.doc - PMS2009-Canadian ....doc

market, further intensifying the existing competition. Many suppliers are pushing hard to cut costs. A large number of them are reducing inventory or resorting to a two-step distribution structure, where warehouses sell directly to installers and jobbers buy directly from vendors.

3. MARKET TRENDS

Alternative Fuels. While green power trains continuing to impact substantially on the industry, the alternative fuel market is also expected to achieve significant results. Like the US, Canada is pumping an enormous amount of investment in support of biofuel production (ethanol and biodiesel).

Environmentally Friendly Plants and Motor Vehicles. In February 2008, the Canadian government launched two programs to raise awareness among consumers in choosing eco-friendly and economical vehicles. Automakers developing greener cars will receive tax incentives. Consequently Canada’s auto industry has invested more than US$9.843 billion in R&D activity aimed at green technology development and to improve the environmental performance of existing manufacturing plants.

Hybrid Technology Research. Hybrid vehicles are becoming extremely popular among Canadians, due to their reputation for fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. According to a 2006 Green Car Congress publication, there are more than 6,000 hybrid vehicles in Canada, and that number is poised to rise significantly as automakers introduce more hybrid versions of best-selling models. Some of the popular hybrids in Canada include the Honda Civic Hybrid, Toyota Prius, Ford Escape Hybrid and the Lexus RX400h. The market for diesel engines is also expanding rapidly. Diesel engines are currently in favor due to advanced developments which have made them cleaner and much quieter.

Preference Toward Small Fuel Efficient Cars. The constant consumers concern toward fuel economy has been driving automakers to build small, fuel-efficient cars. The small car segment represents nearly half of total passenger cars sold in Canada today. Canadians prefer subcompacts due to their good mileage and lower costs. The Smart minicar developed by DaimlerChrysler has had a very successful impact in Canada. First time new car buyers, aged between 21 and 35, with a median income of US$39,374 a year are the main target market for these small cars. The Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit and Nissan Versa were launched to take advantage of this rapidly growing market trend. In line with this initiative, the Government’s have introduced incentive program to reward consumers for buying certain fuel-efficient cars.

5. STANDARS AND REGULATIONS

Regulation of Vehicle Safety and Performance is the responsibility of Transport Canada (http://www.tc.gc.ca) and the respective

provincial governmentsMotor Vehicle Safety Regulations: http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C.R.C.-c.1038/ Samples of the standards and regulations are as follows: o Technical Standards Document No. 105, Revision 4 - Hydraulic and Electric

Brake Systems. This standard specifies equipment and performance requirements for service brakes and for parking brake systems:http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/mvstm_tsd/tsd/1050rev4_e.htm#_Toc%20S1

o Technical Standards Document No. 120, Revision 0 - Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles With a GVWR of More Than 4,536 kg. This standard specifies tire and rim selection requirements and rim marking requirements:http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/mvstm_tsd/tsd/1200rev0_e.htm

is mostly harmonized with that in the US

Regulation of Smog-Forming Vehicle Emissions is the responsibility of Environment Canada (http://www.ec.gc.ca/) for new vehicles,

and the respective provincial governments for in-use vehicles is harmonized with that in the US

Policy and Regulatory Environment Public debate on the auto sector continues to focus on air pollution, fuel consumption

and carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. In January 2008, Canada’s Ministry of Transportation pushed for the country’s first motor vehicle fuel consumption regulations aimed at improving motor vehicle fuel efficiency and environmental performance.

Under the planned fuel economy standards, the industry proposed mandatory standards for automakers to achieve a feet average of 35mpg, beginning with the 2011 model year. So far, the industry has successfully implemented more than a dozen voluntary agreements aimed at improving the environment.

The Canadian Company Average Fuel Consumption (CAFC standards) standards that are consistent with US Federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE standards) standards include vehicle safety advancements and improvements and emissions reductions.

Automotive Safety Features Government regulations and consumer demand for increased safety have lead to

higher demand for new automotive safety features. Examples are side airbags and inflatable curtains, to go along with driver and passenger side air bags which are now standard in all vehicles.

Fuel Economy Standards is the responsibility of Transport Canada and Natural Resources Canada

(http://www.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/) a voluntary vehicle fuel consumption standards program, known as Company

Average Fuel Consumption (CAFC), and a voluntary agreement on reducing green-house gas (GHG) emissions are both administered through Memoranda of Understanding with the auto industry

CAFC is harmonized with the US fuel economy standards

Quality Standard ISO 9001:2000 defines specific requirements for the automotive sector TS16949 applies to the design/development, production and, when relevant,

installation and servicing of automotive-related products. The requirements are intended to be applied throughout the supply chain that means they include auto part suppliers.

7. DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS

Most common distribution channels (where auto parts are sold) include: Tier 1 Supplier (manufacturer to the vehicle assemblers who are responsible for

delivery of the finished assembly, product development and continued technology renewal)

Tier 2 Supplier (producer of parts providing value-added to minor sub-assembly) Tier 3 Supplier (supplier of engineered materials and special services, such as rolls

of sheet steel, bars and heat treating, surface treatments) Warehouse Distributor (eg distributors perform many of the same functions as

wholesalers, such as selling, physical distribution, credit, etc) Auto parts store/retailer (jobber and retail auto parts stores which primarily sell

automotive products and conduct business at the retail level) Specialty repair shop (retail outlet which offers specialized vehicle products and

services) Independent Repair Shop (small service outlet offering specialized repair services) Body shop (service outlet specializing in vehicle body repair work)

8. OPPORTUNITIES/CHALLENGES FOR MALAYSIAN EXPORTERS

The automotive industry is extremely challenging business characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, customer pricing pressures, and supplier insolvencies. Auto parts manufacturers can compete successfully depending in large on its ability to maintain a technically competent workforce and to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry, including providing for the continued compatibility of its products with evolving industry standards and protocols.

As the supplier base for the OEMs and their Tiers is constantly changing and evolving driven by price and engineering design changes, it is prerequisite for Malaysian auto parts exporters not only to improve their productivity and competitiveness but also have to adapt and operate in a capital intensive business environment and therefore need to be financially able to purchase new equipment and technology for future production and tooling upgrading.

The process of getting introduced to and/or accepted in the highly integrated auto parts supply chain is tedious, requiring many follow-up meetings, analysis of the products, documentations, standards and all the matters related to the production process. Suppliers that could provide their own technical solutions in the vehicle design and development process have “extra benefits” added to their already low cost and extra quality parts as automakers have come too dependent on suppliers for advanced engineering and product design in creating new parts and systems (ie cost and weight reduction, simpler manufacturing or assembly).

Two major challenges facing auto part producers will be accelerating technology advances and changing distribution channels. Computer controlled flexible manufacturing technologies are very expensive but are needed to produce a wider variety of products to fit all makes and models. Gaining this technological edge will be necessary to remain competitive. There is also considerable pressure, especially in the aftermarket sector, to minimize distribution costs to increase value to the retailer or installer. Manufacturers will continually seek new way to sell directly to retailers.
