LONDON, April 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tightness is an important indicator to measure the quality of the vehicle, and sealing system is also one of the most widely used parts in automobile. The sealing system primarily plays a role in filling the gap, absorbing and reducing vibration, deadening the noise, providing a route for mobile parts, and making up the errors in metal plate fabrication and assembly.
The excellent durability and longer service life of automotive weatherstrip makes a relatively small after-sales maintenance market, and the demand is mainly concentrated in complete vehicle supporting field. In 2014, China produced 23.72 million vehicles. Calculated on the basis of around 45-meter weatherstrip for a car, about 1.067 billion meters of automotive weatherstrip would be needed. China's demand for automotive weatherstrip in 2015 is negatively affected by slower growth in new car sales and expected to go up 2%-3% year on year.
As to competitive landscape, automotive seal manufacturers are mainly joint ventures or sole-investor enterprises set up by a dozen auto groups, resulting in a relatively stable pattern of supply and demand.
Local Chinese automotive weatherstrip companies support mainly homegrown brands and small-displacement models, while most joint-venture brands and high-end auto models prefer weatherstrip from large multinational auto parts companies. In 2014, domestic Chinese seal companies seized about 45% market share and joint ventures & foreign companies the remaining 55%. It is noteworthy that some local seal players are gradually entering the supply chain of JV and high-end automakers via overseas M&As and technological improvement, such as Anhui Zhongding Sealing Parts, Guizhou Guihang Automotive Components, and Minth Group, with the first having become a supplier of high-end seals (including the ones for EV and new energy vehicles) through active overseas M&As.
