Key Players, Recent Developments & Regional Insights: Global Automotive Aftermarket Market

The retailers segment is anticipated to dominate the market arena in terms of size by 2025. The wholesale and distribution segment would witness relatively faster growth in terms of revenue from 2019 to 2025.
Increasing influence of technological advancement is transforming the market towards digitization. The aftermarket is going online and the marketplace is changing. Parts and services are being sold online. Every player in value chain such as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Original Equipment Suppliers (OESs), wholesalers, insurers, and workshops are reacting to growing online aftermarket trend. Advanced technology usage in auto parts fabrication, surge in consumer and passenger automobile production, and digitalization of automotive repair and maintenance services are the few factors expected to benefit market expansion over the forecast period.
Issues pertaining to high R&D expenditures are expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period. Automobile manufacturers face certain constraints while carrying out their manufacturing processes. Production cost is one of these constraints. Aftermarket filters, however, offer the chance of choosing a muffler that suits the conditions in which a vehicle operates.

Automotive aftermarket economies are important parts of the overall automotive manufacturing and maintenance scheme as automotive components need to be replaced on time to maintain the overall performance of the vehicle.

Certification Insights

The genuine segment is anticipated to hold the dominant share in terms of size by 2025. The uncertified segment would witness relatively faster growth in terms of revenue from 2019 to 2025. The report also includes ballpark market size and estimation for counterfeit automotive replacement parts. Counterfeit parts are illegal, not tested or certified, and have no warranty.

Genuine parts are manufactured by the car manufacturers or by the OEMs, also known as subcontractors. Genuine replacement parts have greater assurance of quality, are diverse, easy to find, and include a warranty. The downside of these parts is that they are expensive and required to be purchased from dealers.

Certified automotive parts are tested and inspected by certified organizations. The Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA) is a non-profit organization, which was incorporated in 1987. CAPA offers test programs to verify and guarantee the quality and suitability of automotive replacement parts. It was the brainchild of automotive insurance companies and was formed to ensure the quality of replacement parts used by collision repair shops. Certified parts are cost-effective alternatives to costly genuine parts. Whereas, uncertified parts can be used instead of the original automotive parts. Uncertified parts are not approved by the car maker.

Service Channel Insights

The OE segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in terms of size by 2025. The DIY segment would witness relatively faster growth in terms of revenue from 2019 to 2025. DIY customers have technical knowledge and interest to maintain, repair, and upgrade their cars on their own. DIFM customers buy parts online but get them installed from professional workshop.

Service channel comprises members such as raw material suppliers, tier 1 distributors, and automobile exhaust hubs/manufacturing units and aftermarket units comprising jobbers and ultimately the repair shops. Repair centers are the important stakeholders in the service channel. The industry is witnessing a trend of strategic alliances and collaborations between collision repair centers and leading auto insurance companies to gain a competitive edge and capture a significant share in the market. For instance, Utica Mutual Insurance Company, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, and Progressive Casualty Insurance Company have tie-ups with certified automotive repair shops across all the states in U.S.

Regional Insights

North America led the aftermarket arena in terms of revenue in 2018. Advanced technology usage in the fabrication of auto parts, surge in consumer and passenger automobile production and sales, and digitalization of automotive component delivery services are anticipated to spur the automotive sales in the region.

Universities and other R&D organizations are increasingly working on increasing the cost and operational efficiencies of such critical automotive components, aimed at reducing their prices and eventually the price of the final end product. A new design developed by a team of researchers from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College in London uses up to 80% less rare metal, considerably reducing the costs of the vehicle and component fabrication. The prototype is anticipated to exhibit better results than the existing automobiles.

Such rules have pressurized the component suppliers to produce environment-friendly and high-efficient automotive components for the native and global markets. Over the past few years, emerging economies comprising China, India, and Brazil have validated insistent developments, which are expected to bid thriving prospects to the segment growth in Asia Pacific.
