Now, China is the third largest auto producer and the second biggest auto consumer in the world. It is estimated that China's auto owning number would reach 76 million by 2011 and China's domestic auto demand would be over 20 million by 2020, thus exceeding the US to become the first largest auto consumer market in the world. Auto part industry is an important part of auto industry. With fast development of our auto industry, auto parts industry has undertaken continuous fast growth. It is estimated that industrial output value of China 's auto parts would reach 1300 billion yuan by 2010. According to international operating standard, the proportion of the completed vehicles and parts shall be 1:1.7. Today, the proportion of our parts industry in auto industry is 35%~36%. On such a basis, there is a big room for China 's auto parts industry to improve. It is estimated that parts industry will enjoy a fast development during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, just following the fast development of the completed vehicles. Enjoying a reputation of “ China 's Detroit ”, quick development of Guangzhou 's auto manufacture industry provides a solid industrial foundation and strong market support.

Guangzhou Municipal Government has been greatly promoting the development of the auto parts industry. It is estimated that output value of Guangzhou 's auto industry would reach 360 billion yuan by 2011, among which parts output value would reach 160 billion yuan. Guangzhou 's objective is to accept transfer of the international auto parts production and become a “global supplier” of the auto parts. At present, functional accessories in Guangzhou 's local auto parts industry are not many, and especially, auto electronic parts with high technologies need more development, therefore, there are many auto products to be developed at Guangzhou . Meanwhile, for moulds, rubber and chemicals, Guangzhou has a fine industrial foundation; there is a big associated room with auto industry. CAPE 2012 to be held at Guangzhou would become an international exhibition greatly concerned by domestic and overseas auto product suppliers, purchasers and media for win-win development.

On the basis of auto industry and the largest potential market resources in the world, adhering to the service aim of “honesty , enterprising, carefulness and creation ”, we shall try hard to build a state-level international trade exhibition with the most authoritative and influential power in line with brand strategy, and energetically carry out cooperation with overseas institutions and enterprises. Through joint efforts of organizing units, exhibitors, purchasers, professional visitors and media, it is to build CAPE 2012 into China's first grade international exhibition, greatly promote China's auto parts to enter global procurement system, coordinate and cooperate with auto industry of all countries of the world, and make joint development and progress.
