KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global Automotive Aftermarket Industry size was valued at USD 408.49 billion in 2022. The market is projected to grow from USD 418.95 billion in 2023 to USD 527.25 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period.


This market pertains to the secondary market, which caters to the needs and preferences of vehicle owners, offering a variety of choices beyond what is available through the original equipment manufacturers. The aftermarket industry includes a wide range of products and services, such as replacement parts (tires, batteries, brakes, and filters), performance-enhancing components, accessories (car audio systems, navigation systems, and cosmetic upgrades), and maintenance and repair services.


The aging of vehicles plays a significant role in generating the demand for aftermarket parts and services. However, longer warranties provided by OEMs may limit the market demand. The anticipated surge in the acceptance of electric and hybrid vehicles, leading to a demand for Automotive Aftermarket parts compatible with EVs, is poised to propel the market expansion during the projected period.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Fall in Vehicle Use During the COVID-19 Pandemic Hampered Market Demand


The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the global industry, affecting various aspects of the supply chain, demand, and overall business operations. The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, leading to shortages of aftermarket components and parts. Manufacturing plants faced closures, production slowdowns, and logistical challenges, affecting the availability of products for both passenger cars and aftermarket businesses.


Lockdowns, social distancing measures, and economic uncertainties led to a decline in vehicle usage. With fewer people commuting and traveling, there was a reduction in wear and tear on vehicles, resulting in decreased demand for replacement parts and aftermarket services. For instance, According to the U.S. Department Of Transportation (DOT) Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the passenger vehicle miles travelled (VMT) index was at its lowest 0.4 on 12th April 2020. The index rose decently thereafter, reaching 1.2 on 5th June 2021.


Automotive Aftermarket Industry Trends


Surging E-Commerce Influence Drives Expansion in the Industry


The trend of e-commerce dominance refers to the increasing prevalence of online sales and the growing influence of digital platforms in the purchase of replacement parts, accessories, and automotive services.


Increasingly, consumers prefer conducting their purchases via online platforms over conventional brick-and-mortar stores. This shift is driven by the convenience of online shopping, allowing customers to browse a wide range of products, compare prices, and make purchases from the comfort of their homes.


For instance, in June 2022, Bosch unveiled its latest website to cater to customers, shops, and technicians. The primary objective of the new site is to provide simplified access to product information. Through API enhancements, users can now easily compare a diverse range of products and gain insights into which products are compatible with their vehicles. Noteworthy features of the updated website include vehicle fit capabilities, new icons for highlighting information, product comparison functionality, and improved website speed.

Automotive Aftermarket Industry Growth Factors


Vehicle Aging Fuels the Growth of the Industry


The age of vehicles is a significant factor driving the Automotive Aftermarket Industry growth. Older vehicles generally require more frequent maintenance and repairs as their components wear out over time. This creates a consistent demand for replacement parts and services offered by the aftermarket industry. With the passage of time and usage, various components of a vehicle, such as brakes, tires, and exhaust systems, experience wear and tear. The need for replacement of various parts in older vehicles drives the market.


For instance, in 2023, according to ACEA (The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association), the average age of cars in the European Union (EU) stands at 12 years, with Greece and Estonia boasting the oldest car fleets, with the average being nearly 17 years. Luxembourg, on the other hand, leads with the newest passenger cars at an average age of 7.6 years. Among the major EU markets, Italy claims the oldest van fleet at 14 years, closely followed by Spain at 13.6 years.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Advancements in Vehicle Technology and Complexity Impede Market Growth


While the global industry has experienced significant growth, it faces certain challenges and restraints. One key restraint to the industry's growth is the advancements in vehicle technology and complexity.


Modern vehicles are equipped with increasingly sophisticated technologies and complex systems. While this is beneficial for vehicle performance and efficiency, it poses challenges for the aftermarket industry. Advanced technologies often require specialized knowledge and tools for diagnostics, repairs, and replacements. As a result, independent repair shops, Automotive Aftermarket distributors, and DIY enthusiasts may face difficulties in keeping up with the evolving technology, leading to a reliance on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) services or authorized dealerships.


Advanced vehicle systems may require specialized diagnostic equipment and software, limiting the ability of independent repair shops to effectively identify and address issues. Some manufacturers restrict access to crucial repair and diagnostic information, making it challenging for independent repair facilities to perform certain repairs and maintenance tasks.


Automotive Aftermarket Industry Segmentation Analysis


By Replacement Part Type Analysis


Development of Tires for Electric Vehicles Fuels the Wheels & Tires Segment Expansion


Based on replacement part type, the market is segmented into various sub-segments, namely battery, brake pads, filters, gasket & seals, lighting component, body part, wheels & tires, and others.


The wheels & tires segment held the largest market share in 2022. The rising trend of electric vehicles also forced manufacturers to develop tires specifically for EVs. For instance, in November 2023, Yokohama Tire unveiled the ADVAN Sport EV A/S, an ultra-high-performance all-season tire tailored for electric vehicles (EVs) at the Electrify Expo held in Austin, Texas, from 10th-12th November. The Sport EV is presented in 10 sizes, spanning from 18 to 20 inches, and is scheduled for market release on 1st January, 2024.


The body part segment held the second-largest share of the market in 2022. The most significant driver for the segment is the need for repairs following accidents or collisions. Cracked bumpers, dented doors, and other body damage often require replacement parts, leading to a continuous demand for body components. In July 2023, auto-body and glass repair shops in McLennan County experienced a surge in the demand for vehicles with hail damage following the hail storms that struck the area between April and June 2023.

By Vehicle Type Analysis


Higher Component Wear & Tear Favors Passenger Cars Segment Growth


Based on vehicle type, the market is divided into two sub-segments, passenger cars and commercial vehicles.


The passenger cars segment held the largest market share in 2022. As urbanization increases, the reliance on passenger cars for daily commuting also rises. This leads to higher wear and tear of various components, necessitating more frequent replacements and repairs. For instance, as per data published by the World Economic Forum in May 2022, the predominant mode of transportation for commuting between home and work in the U.S. is private car usage, with 76% of American commuters opting for their vehicles.


The commercial vehicle segment held a considerable market share in 2022. The economic conditions, including growth in industries such as logistics, transportation, and construction, influence the demand for commercial vehicles and, consequently, aftermarket parts. According to IBEF (India Brand Equity Foundation), the freight movement in India in 2022 by road was around 3.05 trillion ton-km, accounting for 66% of the total freight movements. This demands higher activity from commercial vehicles, which propels the market demand.
