United States Automotive Aftermarket Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Rise in the Automotive Aftermarket Driven By the Advantages of Original Replacement Parts

One of the difficult problems for a car owner seems to be replacing an old, worn-out element of a component. Users must make a careful choice among available options and costs in addition to checking whether the part or component is available in-store or online. Due to this, the process may get rather complicated and frantic. Confusion is further increased by the availability of fraudulent, illegal, or duplicate parts in the automotive aftermarket. This is due to the fact that such parts or components can damage the performance of the vehicle in addition to failing to match the performance of the original and genuine parts. Hence, the advantages of original replacement parts is one of the primary factors driving the growth of the automotive aftermarket.

Increasing Availability of Automotive Aftermarket Parts on E-Commerce Platforms

With online channels' growing popularity, e-commerce platforms play an important role in the rapid growth of revenues generated by the automotive aftermarket. The industry is witnessing a paradigm shift toward online platforms in the United States, which can be seen with online retail parts sales growing year on year. Due to digitization, sales of automotive aftermarket components on e-commerce platforms have recently surpassed those in traditional brick-and-mortar stores. The popular automotive aftermarket parts bought online by consumers in the United States are brake parts, filters, lighting components, tires, and batteries. The above factors have resulted in growth in the automotive aftermarket market in the United States.

Surge In the Demand for Electric Vehicle and Used Car Sales

The growing demand for hybrid and all-electric vehicles and the emergence of 3-D printing in the automotive aftermarket industry will further boost market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the leading participants in the United States aftermarket automotive parts and components market are projected to benefit greatly from the increase in used car sales. The demand for electric vehicles is being fueled by favorable government policies, regulations, and subsidies in the United States. This is causing the production of electric vehicles to use more lightweight auto parts to increase efficiency, which is likely to support the expansion of the United States automotive aftermarket in the years to come.

Restraints

High cost of original replacement parts may hamper market growth

When opposed to unlicensed, duplicate, or fake components that are offered in the aftermarket, original and genuine aftermarket parts, also known as OE replacement parts, are more expensive and costlier. As a result, consumers face a cost barrier, which is one of the main obstacles to the market's healthy expansion. Additionally, the value chain and margin structures for the original, genuine aftermarket parts and the unlicensed or fake aftermarket are distinct. The majority of original and genuine aftermarket parts vendors operate on a higher margin and lower volume matrix. All these factors influence consumers to make impulsive purchases of fake and illegal aftermarket parts. As a result, the existence of such factors presents difficulties for the development of the automotive aftermarket market in the United States.

Impact of COVID-19 on United States Automotive Aftermarket Market

The market's growth for automotive aftermarkets has suffered due to all non-essential services being terminated in the United States. The majority of company ventures and investments came to a standstill in the first half of 2020. The aftermarket players have already been impacted by the liquidity and cash crunch, and due to budgetary restrictions, it is anticipated that the financial differences would prevent the acquisition of new vehicles. The lockdown and travel bans were lifted in 2021, and as a result, widespread vaccination programs allowed supply chain operations to resume. The demand for aftermarket auto parts for vehicle maintenance is anticipated to rise as used car sales rise. These elements are anticipated to propel the market throughout the forecast period.

United States Automotive Aftermarket Market - By Replacement Part

Replacement parts segment the automotive aftermarket into the tire, battery, brake parts, filters, body parts, lighting & electronic components, wheels, exhaust components, turbochargers, and others. The market is expected to be dominated by the tire segment, which would be the largest in terms of replacement parts. Due to the low replacement cycle of tires compared to their equivalents in the other component markets, this category is anticipated to continue to dominate the market. Other segments, such as the battery, brake parts, wheels, and lightning components, also hold substantial growth in the United States in the automotive aftermarket market. The growing demand for locomotives is projected to trigger the demand for the automotive aftermarket market.

United States Automotive Aftermarket Market - By Vehicle Type

The market is divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles based on vehicle type. The automotive aftermarket market in the United States share growth by the passenger vehicles segment will be significant during the forecast period. The passenger car market is characterized by a variety of market dynamics and consumers' varying purchasing preferences. Some of the most reputable domestic and foreign automakers involved in the passenger vehicle market are based in the United States. Commercial vehicles are expected to fuel market growth owing to frequent repair and maintenance activities and upcoming emission norms for commercial vehicles that are likely to impact the repair side via increased adoption of engine electronics. These key variables are anticipated to have an impact on the commercial vehicles market.

United States Automotive Aftermarket Market - By Distribution Channel

The marketplace is evolving as the aftermarket transitions to the internet. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Original Equipment Suppliers (OESs), distributors, insurers, and workshops are the value chain participants responding to the expanding online aftermarket trend. Due to consumers using the internet more frequently, the United States automotive aftermarket market is predicted to grow positively.
