High mileage driven by consumers and aging vehicle fleet boosts demand for replacement of old and damaged parts. Growing number of on-road vehicles around the world due to rising incomes and vehicle ownership has boosted the need for spare parts. Furthermore, longer average lifespan of vehicles can also expand the replacement market. However, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) capturing a substantial share of the independent aftermarket through their dealer channels can pose challenges for aftermarket parts distributors and retailers. Rise of e-commerce, expanding distribution networks into rural markets and surging vehicle population worldwide can offer future growth opportunities.
Market Dynamics:
Global aftermarket automotive parts market growth is driven by factors such as growing vehicle fleet, higher average age of vehicles, expansion of organized retail, and availability of low-cost generic parts. However, intense competition from vehicle OEMs through their extensive dealer networks can hamper the market growth. Proliferation of e-commerce platforms can also open new sales channels for independent distributors, thus, creating opportunities for aftermarket parts companies. Rising vehicle miles driven and rising demand from commercial vehicle owners can drive the replacement market growth. Fluctuations in raw material prices and stringent emission regulations can also pose challenges.
