Automotive Components and Parts industry is the Base and supply for automotive industry, and makes a tremendous effect on automotive industry. With the Chinese automotive industry developing rapidly and domestic market flourishing, more competitive of international market as well, under the background of booming economic globalization trend, the amount of exports for Chinese auto components and parts is growing and reach new high lever each year recently. At the same time, automotive components and parts makers are seeking for the way and approach to improve their competitiveness. So it is very important and will show great supports to real business, to recognize properly and define the stage of automotive components and parts industry, take comprehensive analysis on facts of automotive components and parts industry and its surrounding; how to improve automotive components and parts industry, enhance Chinese automotive components and parts industry's competitiveness and export competitiveness.After reviewing domestic and international relevant literature, this paper firstly expounded and defined export competitiveness, theory and evaluation index of industry competitiveness. This paper expounded and comprehensive analysis Chinese automotive components and parts industry general developing situation after reviewing globalization trend of word automotive components and parts industry. This paper also analyzed and discussed the status, issues and source of Chinese automotive components and parts export competitiveness from different point of view and the effective of multinational. Base on the status of Chinese automotive components and parts development and exportation, through the Diamond model of Michael Porter and SWOT, made qualitative analysis, and also built export competitiveness index evaluation system and mold, and then made a general evaluation and cooperation. At last, strategic approach and suggestion regarding to improve the export competitiveness for Chinese automotive components and parts industry was summarized.Chapter 1 explained the purpose and meaning of the paper, and summarized the domestic and international research about industry's international competitiveness and export competitiveness, established research contents, research approach and technological route of this paper.Chapter 2 synthesized the concept of competitiveness, international competitiveness, industry international competitiveness firstly, and defined the intension of automotive components and parts export competitiveness from the category of industry international competitiveness; surveyed the relevant theoretical foundations of industry's international competitiveness and export competitiveness: international trade theory, competition advantage theory, and new international trade theory, etc; set up the analysis frame of this paper based on the domestic and international scholar's study.Chapter 3 expound the relationship of Auto OEM and components and parts suppliers firstly, and then analyzed the development trend of international automotive components and parts, reviewed the course of Chinese auto components and parts industry, analyzed Chinese auto components and parts industry current status base on real data, and at last, deep analyzed exportation status of Chinese auto components and parts.Chapter 4 summarized analysis method of competitiveness firstly, through Diamond model analyzed the influencing factors of Chinese auto components and parts industry competitiveness and export competitiveness, focus on production factors, demand conditions, Related and supporting industries, company strategy, structure and competition, opportunity and government policy point of view. And also make SWOT analysis of Chinese auto components and parts export competitiveness, and made aggregate analysis at last.Chapter 5 after studying of evaluation method in industrial international competitiveness, using existing automotive components and parts industrial international competitiveness evaluation system index at home or abroad, set up Chinese automotive components and parts export competitiveness primary multilayer evaluation system index, base on Chinese automotive components and parts export real situation. And then, sorted primary index according to sorting model of essentiality, finally, Chinese automotive components and parts export competitiveness 3-level evaluation system index was confirmed, which includes 4 level I index and 16 level II index. And compared export competitiveness index with German's as well. Evaluation result shows that Chinese automotive components and parts export competitiveness index is 56.04%, means there are still big gap compare with advanced country.Chapter 6 on the foundation of studying in preceding paragraphs, this paper analyzed the status and characteristic of Chinese automotive components and parts export and listed the issues and restrain or influencing factors as well, and brought forward approach and suggestion to develop and improve Chinese automotive components and parts export competitiveness.
