A Study on the Supply Chain Structure of the Automobile Part Remanufacturing Industry and Circular Economy in China

Purpose - This paper aims to analyze the political and economic implications of China’s automobile parts remanufacturing industry, focusing on the overall market status, supply chain structures, economic effects, and limitations, and present implications for Korea and the prospects of China’s remanufacturing industry. Design/Methodology/Approach - This research uses the circular economy theory to analyze China's remanufacturing industry through legal, institutional, and policy support for each stage of development. It also analyzes China’s automobile parts remanufacturing process flow, the up/mid/downstream supply chain flow, and its economic effects and limitations. Findings - Compared to the new product manufacturing process, China's remanufacturing industry is acting positively to protect resources and the environment, along with economic effects such as a 50% reduction in production cost, 60% reduction in energy, 70% reduction in raw materials, and 80% reduction in pollution emissions. Research Implications - The impact on Korea’s automobile parts exports to China is scheduled as the remanufacturing industry is expected to expand for the cost reduction and efficient recycling of resources, along with increasing the localization rate of Chinese auto parts. Accordingly, to increase the exports of the Korean auto parts industry to China, it is necessary to closely monitor trends in the Chinese new energy vehicle market, such as electric vehicles and hydrogen electric vehicles, and to strengthen exports of new energy auto parts, such as connection and sensors, with high technological competitiveness in Korea.
