As opposed to 2010, China’s automotive windshield wiper market witnessed two major changes in 2011.

OEM market concentration increased: the combined market share of top 4 manufacturers in China’s automotive windshield wiper OEM market realized 56%, an increase of 4 percentage points over 2010;

Aftermarket concentration decreased: due to relatively low technology threshold, small and medium windshield wiper manufacturers developed rapidly. In 2011, the share of top 10 manufacturers in China’s automotive windshield wiper aftermarket declined ...
... 3.5 percentage points over 2010.

Although there are a large number of enterprises engaged in the production of automotive windshield wipers in China, foreign enterprises still hold a dominant position.

The Shanghai base specializes in the production of windshield wiper motor and windshield wiper assembly, while the Taizhou base is mainly engaged in the production of wiper blades and scrubbers.
