China's fragmented automotive component sector is finally starting to consolidate via a clear increase in acquisition activity across the industry. During the panel discussion, InterChina will share its vision, based on accumulated M&A experience in the sector, on the major challenges in and practical solutions for acquisitions in the Chinese auto component sector.
The automotive s2ector remains, and will continue to be for some time, one of the most buoyant sectors in China. While organic growth has long been the main growth driver, inorganic growth through M&A will become increasingly more important as new and emerging factors – quality pressure, rising costs, and inaccessible financing - reshape the sector. The years ahead will be the defining period for automotive component companies to stake claims and shape their future positions in the Chinese market, the most important market in the world.
While now is the time to act for most companies, the acquisition process still presents its own challenges. In InterChina's experience, shared by its clients, two critical issues stand out amongst all the rest and often turn into deal breakers: valuation and compliance. It is often difficult to reconcile the high price expectations of the target with the buyer's valuation, while compliance raises a wide number of governance and, ultimately, valuation issues, which are not always easy to solve. In the discussion, InterChina will present a practical view on these inter-linked topics and offer recommendations for addressing them based on their successfully-closed deals in China.
