As the leading industry in China, automobile not only develops rapidly, but also plays a guiding role in China's industrial structure system through its driving role. According to the data, the proportion of China's automobile industry's output value to GDP has increased since 2000.
0.97% rose to 2% of 20 10, and the most important thing was the influence of the automobile industry on the upstream and downstream industries, which attracted the added value of the entire upstream and downstream industries to reach 249 million, and the proportion of GDP rose from 3.37% to 8.3%. Specifically, it mainly promotes the development of related industries:
1) auto finance service
Before 1998, the automobile market in China developed very slowly. One of the reasons is that there is no automobile consumption credit support, and the proportion of private car purchases is very low. Most products are mainly for civil servants and business travelers. Since the promulgation of 1998 "Measures for the Administration of Automobile Consumption Credit", the private car purchase in China has rapidly warmed up. While promoting the development of China's automobile industry, it has also developed rapidly. In the seven years after 1998, the total auto credit increased from 400 million yuan to 200 billion yuan in 2004, an increase of about 500 times. Automobile credit is gradually growing up in the great development of automobile industry.
2) Iron and steel industry
With the rapid development of China's automobile industry, the automobile steel market is showing a rapid growth trend. In 2005, China's automobile steel has reached140,000 tons. Moreover, we can find that the proportion of automobile steel in China, 3%, is still low compared with 65,438+00% in developed countries, so there is still a lot of room for growth of automobile steel in China.
3) Petroleum industry
Similar to the iron and steel industry, with the development of China automobile industry, automobile fuel consumption has increased rapidly. In 2005, China's automobile fuel consumption was about 90 million tons, accounting for 34% of refined oil consumption. Moreover, because the automobile penetration rate in China is lower than the world average, the automobile fuel consumption will further increase. However, the energy bottleneck will limit the development of automobiles, which is worthy of attention.
In addition, the automobile industry has greatly promoted industries such as nonferrous metals, rubber, plastics and glass, and other industries that provide equipment, and also promoted industries such as oil refining, electronics, automobile maintenance, sales, driver training, roads, transportation, catering, housing, finance and insurance to varying degrees.
2. The automobile industry has promoted the development of science and technology in China with its technology concentration and productivity. Automobile industry, as a microcosm of modern industry, is characterized by high level and high technology. In the vigorous development of science and technology, it is showing strong vitality and rapid development. Many high-tech technologies, such as NC machining technology, robotics technology, electromagnetic pulse welding technology, turbocharging technology of diesel engine, integrated door panel technology, hardening technology of ferrous metal parts, digital camera technology for recording ultra-high-speed changes, information technology, nanotechnology and other new technologies, have been widely used in the automobile industry. Generally speaking, on the one hand, the development of automobile industry inevitably requires the progress of new technology, and the expanding automobile market has broad prospects for technological progress. Then, with the development of automobile industry and the improvement of industrial structure concentration, the scientific and technological input ability of individual automobile production enterprises has also been improved, which provides a strong impetus and economic support for technological progress. Finally, the automobile industry relies on its diffusion effect to make technological progress spread to other industries.
3. According to its high demand for labor force and strong income elasticity, the automobile industry increases residents' income and promotes national consumption. With the rapid development of automobile industry and related industries in China, people's wealth has been improved. First of all, in terms of employment, according to statistics, in 20 10, the automobile industry and the upstream and downstream industries brought about 40 million jobs, accounting for 9% of the national urban employment in 2002 to 20 13%. This is a fairly high proportion. The high employment brought by the automobile industry has naturally improved the income level of China residents and people's wealth. On the other hand, as a high-quality product, automobile's income elasticity is much higher than other products, so with the development of China automobile industry, automobile sales will expand rapidly. The rapid increase of national consumption is undoubtedly an inexhaustible motive force for China's economic development. From these data, we can see the growth of automobile sales. In terms of production and sales, the production and sales of automobiles in China reached130,000 in 2009, and reached180,000 in 20 10, up by 32.44% and 32.37% respectively. In terms of sales, in 2008, China's automobile retail sales reached 4.8 billion, and automobile-related sales reached 298 million, accounting for 27% of the national retail sales. In addition, we can find that the development of China's automobile industry has not reached the level of developed countries, and the market concentration is low. In 2003, the concentration index CR 1 was 19.46%, and CR 10 was 79.47%, while the top ten automobile manufacturers of 20 10 were only 86.35%. On the contrary, the market share of the three major American automobile companies-GM, Ford and Chrysler reached 90%. Therefore, for China's automobile industry, there is still a lot of room for development, and automobile sales will also increase rapidly.
4. The automobile industry maintains national economic security by expanding domestic demand and technological innovation.
After the reform and opening up, China's foreign trade has expanded rapidly, and its foreign trade volume has also soared to the forefront of the world. Both import and export volume occupy a decisive position. However, China's foreign trade structure is very unbalanced. First of all, in terms of import and export, the trade surplus is large, and net exports account for a high proportion of the national economy. Then, the import and export products are mainly imported high-tech products, and only labor-intensive processing products such as textiles, electronics and household appliances are exported, which has impacted the domestic high-tech industry. 200 1 After China's entry into WTO, the rapid development of China's automobile industry will undoubtedly resist the impact of foreign automobile enterprises, and a series of technological progress brought by the development of automobile industry will also have a favorable impact on its economic security. Furthermore, as a commodity with high income elasticity, automobiles will inevitably increase domestic demand for automobile products, expand domestic demand, reduce the dependence of the national economy on exports, and safeguard national economic security, which is even more prominent after the global financial crisis.
