Technical advantages: SPC companies usually have their own R & D teams and patented technologies, and can continuously introduce high-quality, high-performance, and high-value-added products to meet customer needs and expectations, and even lead the development direction of the market. For example, Germany's Siemens (Siemens) in the field of medical imaging equipment, with more than 6000 patents, accounting for more than 30% of the global market share.

Operational advantages: SPC companies usually have efficient production and supply chain management capabilities, can achieve large-scale, standardized and customized production, reduce costs, improve efficiency, and ensure product quality and delivery. For example, Schaeffler (Schaeffler) in Germany has more than 180 production sites in the bearing field, producing about 40 billion bearings per year, covering multiple industries such as automotive, industrial and aerospace.

Customer advantage: SPC companies usually have a loyal customer base, can establish a stable long-term cooperative relationship, provide high-quality pre-sales, in-sales and after-sales services, and increase customer satisfaction and stickiness. For example, Germany's Bosch has more than 30000 customers in the field of automotive components, including the world's major automobile manufacturers, providing them with products and solutions for about 15 billion euros per year.

Although SPC enterprises have the above advantages, they also face some challenges, mainly including the following aspects:

Brand challenges: SPC companies usually lack brand awareness and influence, and it is difficult to form their own unique brand image and value proposition in the market, which makes it difficult to attract and retain potential customers and partners, and it is also difficult to resist the impact and imitation of competitors. For example, Germany's KraussMaffei (Klasmann-Deilmann) in the field of horticultural substrates, with more than 100 years of history, is one of the world's largest producers, but its brand awareness is only 5%, far less than its market share of 25%.

Market challenges: SPC companies are usually faced with market saturation and shrinking, and it is difficult to find new growth points and opportunities, and it is difficult to enter new regions and industries to expand their market scope and share. For example, Germany's Rheinmetall (Rheinmetall) is one of the world's largest producers of military equipment for more than 130 years, but its market demand and profits have suffered due to reduced military spending and political uncertainty.

Competitive challenges: SPC companies usually face threats from competitors at different levels, including other SPC companies from the same segment, from larger and more diversified integrated companies, and from low-cost and low-quality imitators and followers. For example, Germany's Leica (Leica) in the field of high-end cameras, with more than 100 years of history, is one of the world's most well-known brands, but it also faces competition from integrated companies such as Sony (Sony), Canon (Canon) and Nikon (Nikon) in Japan, as well as smartphone companies such as Huawei (Huawei), Xiaomi (Xiaomi) and OPPO in China.
