The widespread adoption of online marketplaces and e-commerce platforms has significantly enhanced consumers’ access to aftermarket products and services. These platforms present a wide selection of offerings, ranging from specialized parts to professional services. This accessibility has leveled the playing field in the aftermarket industry, enabling vehicle owners to research and purchase products at their convenience, regardless of location or time. Additionally, online platforms streamline the process of comparing prices and features, empowering consumers to make well-informed decisions.

Furthermore, the expansion of shared mobility services such as ridesharing and car-sharing platforms is influencing urban transportation patterns, particularly in densely populated areas. The high usage of vehicles in shared mobility services results in accelerated wear and tear, leading to increased demand for maintenance and repair services within the sector. Service providers catering to these shared vehicles need to adapt their offerings to accommodate the unique needs and usage patterns of fleet operators.

The widespread adoption of ADAS in vehicles is also driving significant changes in the sector, creating opportunities for specialized repair and calibration services, component sales, and aftermarket upgrades and enhancements. ADAS systems rely on sensors, cameras, radar, and other sophisticated technologies to operate effectively, and any misalignment or malfunction could compromise their performance and safety. Consequently, specialized repair and calibration services for ADAS components are becoming increasingly important within the sector.

Moreover, the demand for aftermarket services in the automotive industry is increasingly influenced by regulatory compliance requirements. Both automakers and vehicle owners are obligated to follow a range of safety, emissions, and other legal regulations. As these regulations become stricter or change, the need for aftermarket services increases. For example, government-mandated emissions standards frequently mandate regular vehicle inspections and maintenance to uphold environmental standards. Consequently, there is a rising need for aftermarket services such as emission testing, catalytic converter replacements, and engine tune-ups to ensure vehicles remain compliant.

Automotive Aftermarket Segmentation by Component

Based on components, the market is categorized into tires, brake pads, windscreen wash, oil, oil filters, antifreeze or coolant, windscreen wiper blades, air filters, cabin filters, spark plugs, and others.The increasing number of vehicles on the road, coupled with longer average vehicle lifespans, drives the demand for replacement tires.

In addition, oils (engine or motor oil) are being positioned to secure a substantial market share in terms of units sold, aiming for more than 25% of total sales in 2023. These are commonly sold aftermarket components through a range of channels such as garages, online retailers, auto centers, petrol stations, and even some hypermarkets or convenience stores. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on environmentally friendly and sustainable oil options, reflecting broader trends in the automotive industry.

In addition, filters such as oil filters, air filters, and cabin filters are also a significant component in the aftermarket sales for automobiles. These filters offer a range of benefits, including improved engine performance, better fuel efficiency, and enhanced air quality within the vehicle cabin. Many car enthusiasts and do-it-yourself (DIY) mechanics often opt for aftermarket filters to customize their vehicles or to replace worn-out factory-installed filters.

Automotive Aftermarket Segmentation by Product Family

The product family segment includes wear & tear, service, tires, consumables, crash repair, mechanical, and accessories. The forecast predicts that wear and tear parts will retain the largest market share, comprising more than 30% of the total global share. These parts are essential for the vehicle’s functionality and safety but need periodic replacement due to wear caused by friction, heat, or other factors.

Service parts are an integral aspect of the automotive aftermarket. These parts are essential for routine maintenance, repairs, and servicing of vehicles to ensure their optimal performance and durability.

Automotive Aftermarket – Competitive Landscape

The industry is highly competitive. Established giants such as AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, and O’Reilly Auto Parts continuously innovate their product offerings and service models to maintain their competitive edge. Moreover, the rise of e-commerce platforms has intensified competition, with online retailers such as Amazon and eBay expanding their presence, leveraging vast product selections, and streamlined purchasing experiences to attract consumers.

Strategic collaborations and acquisitions are vital for a competitive advantage. For instance, Sime Darby Bhd’s latest acquisition of a majority stake in UMW Holdings Sdn Bhd in Malaysia bolsters its product portfolio and strengthens its regional presence. Furthermore, forging partnerships with local automotive OEMs and wholesale distributors is increasingly essential for expanding market reach and improving customer accessibility. A good illustration is Lucas Oil’s recent expansion into the Brazilian market through a strategic alliance with Comercial Lucar, the largest wholesale distributor of lubricants and filters in the country. This move underscores Lucas Oil’s commitment to delivering high-quality automotive products to Brazilian customers while leveraging the expertise and reach of a trusted local partner.

Moreover, companies are constantly striving to innovate and introduce new products to secure a greater market share. In alignment with this trend, in March 2014, Michelin showcased their pioneering approach by introducing a revolutionary tire for the 2024 MotoE World Championship. These new tires, made from over 50% renewable or recycled materials, signify a major step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future for the sport.
