CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO WORLD AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
The automotive industry designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells motor
vehicles, and is one of the world's most important economic sectors by revenue. The
term automotive industry usually does not include industries dedicated to automobiles
after delivery to the customer, such as repair shops and motor fuel filling stations.
1.1.1 Worldwide Production
In 2007, worldwide production reached a peak of 73.3 million new motor vehicles1. In
2009, production dropped 13.5 percent to 61 million. Sales in the U.S. dropped 21.2
percent to 10.4 million units; sales in the European Union (supported by scrapping
incentives in many markets) dropped 1.3 percent to 14.1 million units. China became
the world's largest motorvehicle market, by both sales and production. Sales in China
rose 45 percent in 2009 to 13.6 million units2.
1.2 Consumption Trends
About 250 million vehicles are in use in the United States. Around the world, there
were about 806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007, consuming over 260
billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. In the opinion of some, urban
transport systems based around the car have proved unsustainable, consuming
excessive energy, affecting the health of populations, and delivering a declining level
of service despite increasing investments. Many of these negative impacts fall

disproportionately on those social groups who are also least likely to own and drive
cars. The sustainable transport movement focuses on solutions to these problems.
The Detroit branch of Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2014, onethird of
world demand will be in the four BRIC markets (Brazil, Russia, India and China). Other
potentially powerful automotive markets are Iran and Indonesia.

CHAPTER 2
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN INDIA & CHINA
2.1 History of Automotive Industry in India
Following economic linearization in Indonesia in 1991, the Indian automotive industry
has demonstrated sustained growth as a result of increased competitiveness and
relaxed restrictions. Several Indian automobile manufacturers such as Tata Motors,
Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra and Mahindra, expanded their domestic and
international operations. India's robust economic growth led to the further expansion
of its domestic automobile market, which has attracted significant Indiaspecific
investment by multinational automobile manufacturers. In February 2009, monthly
sales of passenger cars in India exceeded 100,000 units and have since grown rapidly
to a record monthly high of 182,992 units in October 2009. From 2003 to 2010, car
sales in India have progressed at a CAGR of 13.7%, and with only 1% of Indian
households owning a car in 2009 (whereas this figure reaches 80% in Switzerland for
example) this progression is unlikely to stop in the coming decade. Congestion of
Indian roads, more than market demand, will likely be the limiting factor.
The first car ran on India's roads in 1897. Until the 1930s, cars were imported directly.
Embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Following the
independence, in 1947, the Government In India and the private sector launched
efforts to create an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the
automobile industry. However, the growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s

due to nationalization and the license raj, which hampered the Indian private sector.
After 1970, the automotive industry started to grow, but tractors, commercial
vehicles and scooters mainly drove the growth. Cars were still a major luxury.
Japanese manufacturers entered the Indian market ultimately leading to the
establishment of Maruti Udyog. A number of foreign firms initiated joint ventures
with Indian companies.
In the 1980s, a number of Japanese manufacturers launched joint ventures for
building motorcycles and light commercial vehicles. It was at this time that the Indian
government chose Suzuki for its joint venture to manufacture small cars. Following
the economic linearization in 1991 and the gradual weakening of the license raj, a
number of Indian and multinational car companies launched operations. Since then,
automotive component and automobile manufacturing growth has accelerated to
meet domestic and export demands.
Automotive Industry in India Today
The Automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the
fastest growing globally. India manufactures over 11 million 2 and 4wheeled vehicles
and exports about 1.5 million every year. It is the world's second largest manufacturer
of motorcycles, with annual sales exceeding 8.5 million in 2009. India's passenger car
and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry is the seventh largest in the world3
with an annual production of more than 2.6 million units in 2009. In 2009, India
emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of passengers cars, behind Japan, South

Korea and Thailand. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers,
annual car sales are projected to increase up to 5 million vehicles by 2015 and more
than 9 million by 2020.
As of 2009, India is home to 40 million passenger vehicles and more than 2.6 million
cars were sold in India in 2009 (an increase of 26%), making the country the second
fastest growing automobile market in the world 4. By 2050, the country is expected to
top the world in car volumes with approximately 611 million vehicles on the nations
roads. A major chunk of India's car manufacturing industry is based in and around the
city of Chennai, also known as the "Detroitof India" with the Indian city accounting
for 60 per cent of the country's automotive exports. Gurgaon and Manesar near New
Delhi are hubs where all of the Maruti Suzuki cars in India are manufactured. The
Chakan corridor near Pune, Maharashtra is another vehicular production hub with
General Motors, Volkswagen/Skoda, Mahindra and Mahindra in the process of setting
up or already set up facilities. Halol in Gujarat, Auragabad in Maharashtra, Kolkatta in
West Bengal are some of the other automotive manufacturing regions around the
country.

Production Statistic
The production of automobiles has greatly increased in the last decade. It passed the
1 million mark during 20032004 and has more than doubled since.
In 2015, it is expected that 3 million cars will be sold in India. Tyre makers are
spending $3 billion to build capacity to produce 106 million tyres/year.

1949 1980
1956: The first modern automobile factory First Automobile Works began
production.
March 10, 1958: The first 2ton light duty truck (NJ130), which was based on
Russian GAZ51, was produced in Nanjing. The truck was named Yuejin (meaning
"leap forward") by China's First Ministry of Industrial Machinery.
June 1958: Nanjing Automobile Works, previously a vehicleservicing unit of the
Army, was established. The truck production continued until the last truck (NJ134)
rolled off the assembly line on July 9, 1987. Cumulative production was 161,988
units (including models NJ130, NJ230, NJ135 and NJ134).
Late 1950s to 1960s: Several automobile factories were set up in Nanjing (today is
Nanjing Automobile (group) corporation), Shanghai (today is Shanghai Automotive
Industry Corporation), Jinan (evolving into China National Heavy Duty Truck
Group), and Beijing (today is Beijing Automotive Holding Industry.
1980s
The passenger car industry was a minor part of vehicle production during the first
three decades of Chinas socialist economy. As late as 1985, the country produced a
total of only 5,200 cars. As domestic production could not meet demand, import
totals rose dramatically, despite a 260 per cent import duty on foreign vehicles. The
country spent some $3 billion to import more than 350,000 vehicles (including
106,000 cars and 111,000 trucks) in 1985 alone. Three taxi companies in particular
thirsted for Japanese cars, such as Toyota Crowns and Nissan Bluebirds.

Chinas answer to the import binge was to sign a series of jointventure passenger car
production agreements. In 1983, American Motor Corporations (AMC, later acquired
by Chryslers Corporation) signed a 20year contract to produce their Jeepmodel
vehicles in Beijing. The following year, Germanys Volkswagen signed a 25year
contract to make passenger cars in Shanghai, and Frances Peugeot agreed to another
passenger car project to make vehicles in the prosperous southern city of Guangzhou.
After 1990
Several enterprises entered the automobile industry since 1994. Some of them are
originated from defense industry, such as Changan Motors, Changhe, and Hafei
Motors; some were developed from old stateowned companies, such as BYD Auto,
Brilliance China Auto, Chery Automobile, and Chengfeng Automobile. Others are
privateowned companies, such as Geely Automobile, Great Wall Motors.
Automotive Industry in China Today
Since November 2009, China is the largest auto market in the world. China's
automobile industry has been in rapid development since the early 1990s. In 2009,
China produced 13.79 million units of automobile, of which 8 million units were
passenger cars (sedans, sportutility vehicle (SUV), multipurpose vehicle (MVP) and
crossovers), and 3.41 million units were commercial vehicles (buses, trucks, and
tractors).
Of the automobiles produced, 44.3% are local brands (BYD, Lifan, Changan (Chana),
Geely, Chery, Hafei, Jianghuai (JAC), Great Wall, Roewe, Martin Motors, etc.), the rest
being produced by joint ventures with foreign carmakers such as Volkswagen, General

Motors, Huyndai, Nissan, Honda, Toyota etc. Most of the cars manufactured in China
are sold within China, with only 369,600 cars being exported in 2009.
China's annual automobile production capacity first exceeded one million in 1992. By
2000, China was producing over two million vehicles. After China's entry into the
World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, the development of the automobile market
further accelerated. Between 2002 and 2007, China's national automobile market
grew by an average 21 percent, or one million vehicles yearonyear. In 2006, Chinas
vehicle production capacity successively exceeded six, then seven million, and in
2007, China produced over eight million automobiles. In 2009, 13.759 million motor
vehicles were manufactured in China, surpassing Japan as the largest automobile
maker in the world.

CHAPTER 3
CHALLENGES IN THE INDIAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Costs, infrastructure and human resource development are the underlying concerns in
the automotive industry and manufacturers are being challenged on these counts. Labor
costs are rising and economies of infrastructural improvements are not being realized
efficiently. Companies are searching for technological advancements that can help
contain costs of production and help in using resources efficiently to increase overall
productivity.
3.1 Composition of Costs and Productivity Factors
Raw material costs are by far the single largest costs where steel and rubber constitute
the two main materials used by manufacturers. However, the variation in cost of raw
materials is not as much as that in cost of labor. Further, labor costs constitute a much
higher share of the total cost in the automotive industry in American and West European
countries compared to India. In addition to the absolute costs involved in the automotive
industry, the tax structure also plays an important role. India has higher indirect taxes
compared to some of the other countries in Asia, which reduces the cost advantages it
has. A cost comparison study between Indian and Chinese automotive manufacturing
companies revealed that the cost to manufacture a passenger vehicle in China is 23
percent lower than it is in India with the main difference being higher taxes and their
cascading impact in India, rather than cost of raw materials or labor costs.

Economic Corporation Ivyanno Utama Canny & Aaron Albert Samosir
Advantage of low labor costs in India
Low labor costs and easy availability of management and engineering skills is one of the
prime advantages of manufacturing in India. Among the costs incurred to manufacture
automotive products, it is the cost of labor that foreign companies can cut most easily by
manufacturing in India. The cost per hour in India is only between 7 and 10 per cent of
the cost of labor in the developed countries. However it needs to be assessed if India can
maintain the cost advantage.
Low employee welfare leading to reduction in labor productivity
There is a significant increase in the number of contract workers being used in the
automotive industry, which helps to keep labor costs low, but this practice of hiring labor
under contract also leads to exploitation in many cases. Thus, there is need for labour
reforms aimed at increasing the welfare of workers. Manufacturing companies are being
encouraged to retain and employ more permanent workers, which will lead to higher
levels of productivity.
A survey conducted by Indian Council for Research on International Economic
Relations (ICRIER) found that the muchneeded labour reforms would increase the level
of productivity as reforms induce workers to work more efficiently. The survey found that
between 10 and 30 per cent of the total production workers in the automotive industry
are employed on contract basis. Further, wages paid to temporary workers are on an
average only 25 to 50 per cent of wages paid to permanent workers.

Economic Corporation Ivyanno Utama Canny & Aaron Albert Samosir
Technological advancements leading to cost reductions
Manufacturers are looking for ways to contain costs. With decreasing cost of technology,
manufacturers are exploring ways to develop low cost automation and use it to reduce
labor costs. Regarding efficiency in production, according toan econometric analysis
conducted by ICRIER, it has been found that increase in foreign participation is directly
correlated with higher technical efficiency. Thus, the government is inducing more foreign
participation, so that technologically advanced products can be developed at lower costs
overall.
3.2 Infrastructure Factors
Continued investment in infrastructure is essential for India to be able to realize the
targets set in the AMP. There are inadequate ports, insufficient feeder rail lines to the
ports, and bad roads. Despite the bottlenecks in this regard there are companies that
have made the most out of the existing infrastructure. For instance, Hyundai has setup its
factory very strategically near the port in Chennai and has built a supply chain hub around
surrounding areas. It has now become the second largest passenger car manufacturer in
India after entering the Indian market in 1998.
Roads
With respect to roads, the Golden Quadrilateral, a corridor connecting the four metro
cities of India, New Delhi in the North, Mumbai in the West, Chennai in the South and
Kolkata in the East spanning 6 500 kilometers is being built. The GOI has also launched a
program for the construction of 66 500 kilometers of national highways of which 50 000
kilometers is expected to be completed by 2015. With better road infrastructure,
7/30/2019 The Challenges to China and India as the New and Potential Car Producer in Automotive Industry Within Asia Cou
20/27
The Challenges to China and India as the New Potential Car Producer inAutomotive Industry within Asia Countries Page 19 of 26
Economic Corporation Ivyanno Utama Canny & Aaron Albert Samosir
significant growth is expected in the automotive industry. For instance, better roads are
leading to greater demand for multiaxle vehicles.
Railways
The Ministry of Railways is in the process of developing freight corridors in Railways.
Drawn on similar lines of highway projects linking east with west and north with south,
the ministry is planning for an eastwest corridor and a northsouth corridor. Connectivity
between rails and ports (both dry and sea ports) is essential and a blueprint for railway
development is being prepared.
Ports
For India to develop into a global automotive hub, port development is imperative.
Specialized port infrastructure for handling vehicle exports is being developed especially
near the main automotive clusters near Mumbai and Pune in the West, Chennai in the
South, and Kolkata in the East. Two new deep ports are being developed that have special
emphasis on the automotive industry. One is in Dhamra in the state of Orissa (East India),
which will be completed by 2010, and the second is in Sutrapada in the state of Gujarat
(West India).
Power
The high cost and relatively lower quality of power in many parts of India is also an issue
highlighted by many manufacturers. Many companies face fluctuations in supply of
power and power outages that in turn affect the quality of production. The average
manufacturer in India loses 8.4 per cent in sales due to power cuts as opposed to less
7/30/2019 The Challenges to China and India as the New and Potential Car Producer in Automotive Industry Within Asia Cou
21/27
The Challenges to China and India as the New Potential Car Producer inAutomotive Industry within Asia Countries Page 20 of 26
Economic Corporation Ivyanno Utama Canny & Aaron Albert Samosir
than 2 per cent in China and Brazil. It is estimated that the power outages alone cost India
1 per cent of GDP.40 Several companies are willing to pay more for power in return for
consistent and good quality of power. The Eleventh FiveYear Plan of India 20072012,
issued by the Planning Commission of India, has set ambitious targets to generate and
distribute more and better quality power.
3.3 Human Resource Development
Skill shortages and skill mismatches may emerge as a constraint to achieve the growth
targets set in the AMP. Thus one of the main areas of focus cited by the Ministry of Heavy
Industries and Public Enterprises is to develop advanced capabilities in the workforce. A
large workforce consisting of both skilled and unskilled workers will be required to sustain
the increased level of production. The challenge is to ensure that the demandsupply gap
does not arise either in quantitative or in qualitative terms.
The employment generated can be divided into direct and indirect employment. While
direct employment is employment by way of workers being engaged in the production of
automobiles and automotive components, indirect employment is generated in feeder
and supplier industries in the areas of finance, insurance, mechanics and aftersales
personnel for semiskilled and unskilled workers in rural and semiurban areas. According
to the AMP, it is estimated that the automotive industry would require the following:
Management and General: 28 per cent or 7 million
Skilled workers: 62 per cent or 15.5 million
Unskilled workers: 10 per cent or 2.5 million

Economic Corporation Ivyanno Utama Canny & Aaron Albert Samosir
The need for toplevel engineering and managerial manpower is being met by the Indian
Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Management. However more such
institutes are required to impart high quality technical education to the workforce.
Although there are several engineering institutes all over India, there is a growing need
for more engineering institutes. The GOI has begun to take some initiatives in this regard.
The National Automotive Institute is being set up that will serve as a knowledge bank for
the automotive industry, conduct market research and analysis and develop training
modules. The plan is to establish the institute in all the major clusters in India, so that the
institute can benefit from active participation from automotive companies in those
clusters.

CHAPTER 4
CHALLENGES IN THE CHINA AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
The global financial crisis and weaker demand for Chinese exports in international
markets have started to impact heavily on the Chinese economy, including its automotive
sector. In the final months of 2008, after almost six years of 20 percent or more annual
growth, vehicle sales were flat or slightly negative a shock for an industry that invested
heavily on the expectation of continuing growth5.
The Chinese automotive industry faces several key challenges:
Slowing economic growth, falling real estate prices and a plunge in the stock market
have made Chinese consumers more cautious in their spending. Vehicle sales, after
jumping from 2.1 million in 2000 to 8.9 million in 2007, are slowing. In 2008, overall
volume growth was 6.7 percent compared to the previous year, according to the
China Association of Automotive. Manufacturers with a total 9.4 million units being
sold; this equates to a growth rate 15 percent below that of 2007.
The second half of 2008 was much slower than the first half, and in December alone,
passenger vehicle sales were down 8 percent yearonyear, while commercial vehicle
sales dropped a worrying 23 percent. This is a strong indication of the impact that the
current economic crisis is having on the overall business environment.

Chinese auto exports, mostly to developing countries, are starting to slow. China sold
34,100 motor vehicle overseas in November 2008, down 13.54 percent from the
previous month and 32.83 percent in comparison with 2007
Declining sales, a lack of cash and tight financing are all starting to place severe
pressure on suppliers, vehicle financing companies and dealerships. According to the
Deputy Secretary General of the China Automobile Dealers Association, a
considerable proportion of auto dealers are running at a loss, and only 20 percent of
them may be making profits.

CONCLUSION
Rising growth in the Chinese and Indian automotive markets will drive the global auto
industry back on track after two years of slump in sales, says the global automotive
body, International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA). While China
will see a growth of 24 percent to 17 million vehicles in this fiscal, India, second in the
global league, will follow its neighbor and might as well churn out well over three
million vehicles in this calendar year, thus posting a healthy grow of around 22
percent over the previous years' performance.
International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the global
watchdog of the automotive horizon, which has cohesive focus on passenger cars and
commercial vehicles, says in its latest findings that two of the Asian powerhouses,
China and India will bring back the growth momentum of global auto business, when
the auto industry was struggling with global slowdown and withdrawal of scrap age
laws. According to OICA's study, China is estimated to grow by 24 percent to 17
million vehicles including cars, trucks and buses in this calendar year, while its
neighbor India will also scale the three millionvehicle marks and the growth of both
these countries together will help the recovery of the global market this year. The
global body follows a calendar year unlike India's AprilMarch ending fiscal year and
so the year 2010 might as well see a record production of 74 million cars and
commercial vehicles.

What is more, the if the proof of the food is in eating, then the trend is quite
perceptible now what with the global auto industry posting 42 percent growth for the
first six months of this year, mostly driven by burgeoning demand from India and
China, coupled with a flat growth in other bigger markets including Brazil and North
Korea. While China has registered a phenomenal growth, India is not far behind.
The global recession has plummeted the auto industry into a negative territory as the
markets across the world dipped four percent to 70.5 million units in 2008 and further
went into recess 12.5 percent to 61.7 million last year. Of course, the worst affected
countries were the US and Japan, once the largest vehicle manufacturers before China
superceded them in 2009 that fell 34 percent and 31 percent respectively in the same
year over the previous year.
