Executive Summary—Key Highlights of 2015
Increased Original Equipment Service (OES) participation along with consolidation of traditional distribution channels in developing markets were the key highlights of 2015.
Lower than Expected Growth in China and Latin America
- Total manufacturer-level parts revenue (including maintenance, repair, body/collision, and accessories) was $ billion in 2015.
- Revenue grew by nearly % in 2015, with growth stifled a bit in China and Latin American countries.
Vehicle Ownership Trends Drove Growth in Aftermarket Demand
- Growing vehicles in operation, especially in emerging markets will be the biggest driver for aftermarket demand. Frost & Sullivan expects the global Vehicles in Operation (VIO) to increase from billion in 2015, from billion in 2014.
- Increasing average vehicle age largely contributed to the growth of aftermarket revenues in 2015.
Strengthening of the OES Channel Across the Globe
- The OES channel gained 1 to 2 market share points worldwide because of the high growth of new vehicle sales in countries (such as India and China) that lack traditional aftermarket infrastructure.
- OEMs introduced more aftermarket parts (such as Mopar in the US) and expanded independent garage networks.
Traditional Aftermarket Participants Explore Geographic Expansion Options
- Development and expansion of traditional distribution channels to emerging regions (particularly China), as North American and European groups (such as the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance) are partnering with Asian wholesalers.
- Developed regions continued to evolve away from three-step distribution, with closure of more jobber stores.
