In life, automotive electronics can be seen everywhere, marking the development of a city, so the development of the automotive industry also drives the development of the fuse industry, and auto insurance has a relatively rapid development in the industry.

Therefore, driven by the trend of vehicle lightweight, miniaturization, intelligence and electrification, the overall market size of automotive fuses has grown rapidly. Europe and the United States have improved the energy conservation, emission reduction and safety performance of automobiles through mandatory regulations. The rise of consumer electronics has prompted consumers to gradually increase the requirements for the communication and entertainment functions of automobiles. Therefore, the growth rate of safety control and communication and entertainment electronics will be particularly high. Automakers are also using automotive electronics as a point of differentiation in the race. (Related reading: How fuses work)

The technical development and innovation of various parts of the car have a certain impact on the industry structure, so the quality of the vehicle is often linked to the small parts

1. Parts manufacturers are moving to the foreground

The innovation and progress of automotive electronic technology is adapting to the development of energy saving, environmental protection, safety and comfort, and communication and entertainment. The speed and breadth of technology innovation are unprecedented, and the content of innovation is more and more related to interdisciplinary, such as Materials science (lightweight materials), chemistry (batteries), consumer electronics (communication and entertainment systems), etc.

For OEMs, the cost and risk of developing a full line of research and development are high, and the complexity of skills makes it difficult for OEMs to undertake the development of a certain technology alone, which makes parts manufacturers go to the forefront and fill OEMs. There is a gap in technological development, and a lot of investment in new technologies such as batteries, positioning, and navigation. Therefore, OEMs are outsourcing more and more components, and the standardization and modularization of components are also improving, which coincides with the channelization strategy implemented by OEMs to reduce costs and enhance the flexibility of production lines. .

2. The degree of specialization of manufacturers has improved

With the increasing complexity of technological innovation, the complexity and professionalism of a single component or component module are improving, and the synergy between manufacturers' development and production of components in different modules or systems is becoming less and less obvious. Component manufacturers strip off non-central business and conduct horizontal acquisitions instead of vertical acquisitions, thereby improving their specialization and the competitiveness of central business, which promotes the improvement of the concentration of market segments.

3. Cross-professional competition emerges

With the gradual penetration of information technology, consumer electronics and other applications into the field of automobiles, the traditional automobile industry is facing the impact from new industries such as mobile Internet and consumer electronics industries. Internet companies hope to strengthen existing business and improve cloud service capabilities by acquiring or increasing customer traffic, so they speed up the deployment of automobile terminals and turn automobiles into an important import and channel for the Internet. Relying on their own technical advantages, many information technology companies have now entered the automotive industry across the border to promote the informatization and intelligent development of automobiles.
