　　In this year’s list, Japanese companies are on the list with 28 companies, followed by 22 companies in the United States, and 16 companies in Germany. . The Japanese are leading in the rankings, but the average ranking is that the Germans are higher. However, both Germany and Japan and the United States are historically famous automobile powers, and their lead is understandable and reasonable. However, it must be clearly recognized that the number of Chinese and South Korean companies on the list is gradually increasing, and behind it is the gradual increase in market share.

　　 As far as my country’s current situation is concerned, in fact, the large-scale auto suppliers are not limited to those on the list, and there are also many suppliers such as Weichai, Wanxiang, Fuyao Glass, etc., which are not on the list. The reason may be that they did not submit their own information. At present, the research and development capabilities of domestic suppliers are gradually improving. Although there is a gap with the international first-line brands, with time and mergers and acquisitions, Chinese parts and components companies still have a lot of potential for progress.
