The market is expected to be driven by technological advancements, shift in competitive power with the rise of new players, and evolving customer expectations.
Germany is among the most prominent automotive vehicle manufacturer countries and reports the most significant demand and sales for automobiles. Moreover, vehicle parc has witnessed substantial growth in the last few years owing to surging vehicle sales. Significant vehicle parc has led to increased replacement of various automotive parts, which will translate to high growth opportunities for the market. Furthermore, online retail tailored services and innovative business models will support the growth of aftermarket parts over the forecast period. Most market players in the value chain, from OEMs and OESs to wholesalers, workshops, and insurers, are looking to benefit from online automotive parts sales, which is further estimated to give the market a boost.
Another fact supporting online automotive parts sales is that 70% of the people residing in Germany have regular internet access. Online aftermarket channels have grown at a faster pace in the country and this is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for accessories and spare parts providers. Some spare parts wholesalers have also developed online concepts, which is based on online shops as well as offering via third-party retail providers. This is expected to benefit market growth in the coming years.
There has been a significant ongoing revolution in the aftermarket, specifically in the sales and distribution channel segments. Small players have to fulfill customer requirements in order to keep up with the competitive pace of top players. This requires electronic tools with specialization in basic service models in order to retain or strengthen their position in the market. Automotive centers, franchise operations, and fast fitters are emerging as a prominent service chain in the market for certified part sales. This trend is influenced by the sales of the independent market and substantial rise in do-it-for me (DIFM) and do-it-yourself (DIY) customers.
