Market demand continues to increase parts industry or welcome to the era of mergers

According to reports, the merger and acquisition process between ZF and TRW demonstrated that the global parts and components industry has entered a large-scale integration and adjustment period. For example, some global suppliers such as Autolif and Visteon have also become potential M&A targets.

Sources earlier this month disclosed that ZF’s acquisition price for TRW may be as high as US$13 billion. If it goes, it will become the largest acquisition in the global parts industry in seven years, and the newly merged company will also Become the world's second largest supplier.

UBSAG believes that as overcapacity may restrict suppliers’ plans to expand their business scale on their own, it is likely that more companies will merge in the industry in the future.

“I didn’t feel more surprised that there were no more M&As in the past three years,” said Colin Langgan, an analyst at UBS in New York. “This (ZF's acquisition of TRW) may put pressure on some other suppliers to urge them to consider Other M & A options, and this is definitely a strategic motive."

As with Tianhe, Autolif, which produces airbags, seat belts, and active safety systems, is also quite attractive. Last year, the company's worldwide operating income increased by 6.5% year-on-year to US$8.8 billion. Teneo Holding Co. stated that as governments around the world tightened regulations on car safety, the demand for car safety systems has also grown rapidly.

In addition, UBS stated that Visteon, which has a solid position in air-conditioning systems and vehicle electronics products, is also a potential target for the acquisition of supplier giants. The company’s operating revenue reached 7.4 billion U.S. dollars last year. Gabelli & Co. also pointed out that Tenneco, a supplier of emissions control products, has a strong attraction for Cummins, which last year achieved revenues of nearly $8 billion.
