Note: 1. Including investment in automobile tire production
2. Volkswagen Investment covers engine and vehicle production
The main reasons for the investment in Polish auto parts industry are:
1. Good location
Poland is located in central Europe, and is close to Germany, the Czech Republic and other major automobile manufacturers and consumers. Poland's auto parts companies have unique conditions for cooperation with neighboring European auto-producing countries such as Germany and the Czech Republic. In particular, the zero-tariff free flow of goods within the EU after the accession to the Union created a rare and broad market space for the development of the Polish auto parts industry.
2. Obvious advantages in labor costs and other operating costs
Poland is the country with the largest labor force in China and Europe. The unemployment rate is high, which makes Polish labor prices low and labor convenience. In January 2006, the average monthly wage of Polish general auto workers was 2205 PLN, which was only 5% higher than the previous year. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) figures, the average remuneration per hour worked in Poland was only one-fifth of that of Western European countries in 2004. Since 2003, the wage levels in the Czech Republic and Hungary have started to exceed Poland, and the wage increase trend is also high in the future. In Poland.
Poland is also the youngest country in the population structure of China and Europe. Half of the population is younger than 35 and 35% of the population is younger than 25 years old. Nearly half of Polish young people aged 20-24 have received higher education. According to Ernst & Young's report, the Polish workforce is of high quality and ranks fifth in the world (after Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the Nordic region). According to the OECD’s Employment Outlook 2005 (OECD), Poles are second only to South Korea in terms of their hard work. In 2004, their average working time was 1957 hours a year, 600 hours more than France and Germany. It is also higher than the Central and Eastern European countries in other OECD countries such as Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary.
In addition, the corporate income tax rate in Poland is 19%, which is the lowest tax rate in Europe.
Therefore, considering the combination of labor costs, labor productivity, convenience of employment, and corporate taxation, Poland's operating costs are more advantageous than Western European countries. At the same time, the time required to start a business is often shorter than in neighboring countries. It takes an average of 31 days for a company, 38 days for Hungary, and 40 for the Czech Republic.
According to the Boston Consulting Group, moving the auto parts industry (from Western Europe) to Poland will at least reduce costs by 20-30% (mainly due to labor and raw material savings). The Boston Consulting Group even believes that car production in Poland is more profitable than China.
3. Sustained growth in vehicle production and significant industrial clustering effect
Poland has always been one of the major European automobile manufacturers. In 2006, it produced 714,600 vehicles of various kinds, which was a 16.5% increase over the previous year, ranking second among 10 countries in the new league (after the Czech Republic), Fiat, Volkswagen, Toyota, Isuzu, General Motors, Volvo, MAN, and other auto giants invested and built factories in Poland, consciously or unconsciously encouraging their cooperative companies to follow in Poland; this industrial clustering effect, like snowballing, has enabled more and more auto parts production, The sales companies set up factories and opened operations in Poland, so that the scale and level of the industry will continue to expand and increase.
In 2004 Poland was named one of the three countries with the best localization of auto parts.
4. Large motor vehicle ownership and huge potential for component consumption
In 2005, the number of motor vehicles in Poland was 16,815,900, of which, the number of passenger cars and trucks were 12,33,400 and 2,340,500, respectively, which were 2.35 times and 2.21 times respectively in 1990. In recent years, the Polish economy has continued to grow. The average annual growth rate of GDP is twice that of Western European countries, and the purchasing power of residents and society continues to increase. Poland's auto consumption is expected to further expand. After the accession to the EU, the import of second-hand cars in Poland increased sharply (from May 2004 to June 2006, Poland imported about 1.7 million used cars), and the large number of used cars objectively increased the market demand for auto parts. .
Fourth, the relevant legal environment and industry development prospects
The basic legal framework followed by the Polish automobile market is EU Directive 1400. According to the “Motor Transport Institute†of Poland, “At present, for passenger cars, the national standards and requirements of Poland are completely consistent with EU standards, and market access certificates are mutually recognized and valid within the European Union. Cars and auto parts sold separately, EU countries including Poland implement the national standards of various countries, and corresponding inspection certificates are only valid in the country, and mutual recognition within the EU has not yet been achieved." However, from the actual situation reflected by the company, Poland is currently not very strict on the market access management of auto parts.
The continuous integration and transfer of the world automobile industry due to its cost advantage and market orientation will create a good opportunity and huge space for the development of the Polish automobile and parts industry. It is expected that it will still be the Polish auto parts industry in 5-10 years. A faster period of development.
Note: The auto parts mentioned in this article are general concepts. They not only cover the traditionally defined automobile parts and components, but also include the engine, car seat belts, doors, bumpers and other automotive products (except car chassis).
