In an interview with a reporter, Mr. Chen Bingyan, Director of the Parts Department at the China Automobile Industry Association, highlighted that most of China’s automotive parts companies are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that struggle to maintain independent and comprehensive R&D capabilities. Original innovation is limited, and these companies often rely on collective innovation, which is largely driven by access to technology and market information. As the nation and the broader manufacturing sector emphasize independent innovation, it raises concerns about whether these SMEs can keep up with the national pace. While original innovation should not be dismissed, leveraging the technology market for collaborative innovation may be a more practical approach for many SMEs.
From a content perspective, the technology market represents a comprehensive exchange system. It spans the entire lifecycle of technical commodities, from development to application, and includes activities such as technology development, transfer, consulting, and service-related transactions.
The technology market itself has been a major innovation in China's socialist economic development. In 1985, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Decision on the Reform of the Science and Technology System," explicitly stating the need to open the technology market and commercialize scientific achievements. Over two decades of practice, the technology market has become a crucial link between technology and the economy, forming an essential part of the national innovation system.
According to a follow-up survey conducted in 2005 across 13 provinces and cities, out of 595 projects, 466 held independent intellectual property rights, accounting for 78% of the total. The state allocated 959.99 million yuan in financial support. After contract implementation, these projects generated 13.6 billion yuan in new output value, 1.9 billion yuan in profit, 0.8 billion yuan in tax revenue, and 1.2 billion yuan in exports. The "value added" effect of the technology market is clearly evident.
"When discussing innovation in complete vehicles and parts, we inevitably touch on the role of the technology market. These are closely connected," said Chen Bingyan. "The challenge lies in how to quickly turn technological achievements into industrialization—this process is very difficult."
Looking specifically at the auto parts industry, many SMEs have long struggled with limited technology and capital. This issue is partly linked to China’s scientific and technological institutional mechanisms. For a long time, science and technology innovation projects have been dominated by the science and technology system departments, leaving many SMEs outside this system or unaware of how to access it.
Chen Bingyan expressed concern: "There are indeed state funds and sufficient innovation funding in the science and technology sector. However, the current problem is that there aren’t enough projects that meet the needs of end-users. How to effectively utilize this funding is even more critical." He believes the government should establish a public technology platform that gathers human and material resources to carry out systematic projects.
Regarding some existing issues, Chen pointed out that past technology market policies were more seller-oriented. Now, while ensuring the interests of sellers and encouraging innovators, there should be more policy support and specific incentives for buyers to ensure that scientific and technological achievements can flow smoothly and develop into industries.
One of the key functions of the technology market is to "fully utilize global technology resources and serve as an important channel for international technology transfer." Although challenges like multinational company technologies, monopolies, and technical barriers exist, Chen admitted that there are lessons to be learned from foreign markets. If participants in certain projects could unite, progress in the automotive sector would likely be faster, saving both resources and costs for the country.
As a market for production factors, China’s technology market is actively contributing to the allocation of scientific and technological resources and has become a significant economic phenomenon. Over the next 20 years, the country has clear goals for the reform and development of the technology market. The target is to maintain an average annual growth rate of 10% to 15% in technical contract turnover between 2002 and 2022. By 2012, the contribution rate of technological progress and achievement transformation to national economic growth reached 35%, and by 2022, it aimed to reach 50% to 60%, eventually matching the level of medium-developed countries.
We know that the industrialization of technology involves risks, but it is precisely this combination of risk and innovation that drives explorers forward. The direction of China’s national science and technology innovation system is clear. The technology market for automotive parts should have its own platform, and the risks associated with technology industrialization should receive more policy support.
We are a mold factory with over 20 years of experience. Our products are stable, corrosion-resistant, and very durable, and can be precision processed according to customized requirements.
