Colliers: Empowering China’s Automotive Industry Chain to Go Global with a Global Network
As China’s automotive industry accelerates from “product export” to “capacity going global” and “industrial co-construction,” the demand for vehicle and parts companies to set up factories overseas, establish R&D centers, and deploy supply chains is becoming increasingly urgent. From Southeast Asia to Europe, from North America to Latin America, the global network of China’s automotive industry chain is rapidly taking shape.
Colliers’ business scope covers 90% of the world’s regions, boasting extensive international resources and professional teams in the industrial and industrial real estate sectors. Facing core challenges such as “difficult site selection, slow implementation, high costs, and complex localized operations” for automotive industry chain enterprises expanding overseas, Colliers can provide a full-chain, one-stop service ranging from strategic consulting, market research, and site selection evaluation to transaction execution and project management, helping China’s automotive industry chain deeply integrate into local markets and achieve stable global development.
Some successful cases of Colliers in the automotive industry’s overseas expansion:
- Provided site selection services for multiple new energy vehicle companies for factories in Southeast Asia and Europe
- Assisted leading automotive parts suppliers in establishing production bases in Mexico and Poland
- Provided consulting for power battery companies on site selection for warehousing and production facilities in North America and Europe
- Helped intelligent driving-related companies set up R&D centers overseas

This ecological co-construction cooperation with the Shanghai Auto Parts Industry Association is an important milestone for Colliers in deepening its services for the automotive industry’s overseas expansion. In the future, Colliers will continue to leverage the synergistic advantages of its global platform and local professional teams, collaborating with industry associations and chain partners to provide more precise and efficient professional services for Chinese automotive companies going global, jointly promoting the deep integration and high-quality development of China’s automotive industry chain in the global market.
