There are lots of reasons to be optimistic about the automotive aftermarket industry in 2023 and beyond. Despite widespread anxiety about current economic conditions, automobiles remain a critical part of our lives as well as the global economy.
Here are a few of the specific trends that indicate auto aftermarket businesses offer significant opportunities for growth in the immediate future — and beyond.
- Drivers are keeping their vehicles longer: The lasting value of today’s cars, trucks, and SUVs means people on average drive their vehicles longer and buy new vehicles less frequently. That’s driving the market for maintenance and replacement parts — investment in repairs and upkeep are taking the place of new auto sales — as well as aftermarket upgrades, as consumers upgrade accessories, audio, safety and performance systems as technology evolves.
- Used vehicle sales continue to grow: More and more consumers choose used vehicles when they do replace their automobiles. Those savings allow them to invest in aftermarket upgrades that enhance a used vehicle with the latest features and technology.
- Online sales. E-commerce sales for aftermarket auto parts have soared in recent years. Initially driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, the convenience and value of online shopping mean consumers are continuing to rely on this option and creating opportunities for growth.
