Projected growth from $464.1 billion in 2024 to $533.87 billion in 2025, accounting for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.0%, is significant. This growth over the historic period is connected to the increase in global vehicle ownership, changes in culture favoring DIY maintenance, the advent of more independent repair shops, changes in regulations affecting repairs, and trends in vehicle customization.
The automotive aftermarket market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The size of the automotive aftermarket market is anticipated to expand significantly in the coming years. The expansion is anticipated to reach $831.84 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%.
Factors like service-centric solutions, the utilization of advanced materials, digital revolution, vehicle electrification and hybridization, alongside an emphasis on sustainability contribute to this growth during the projected period. Meanwhile, an increase in vehicle longevity, evolution in customer preferences, environmental consciousness and sustainable products, growing demand for car accessories, and innovation in substitute parts form the major trends in the same forecast period.
The automotive aftermarket is being propelled by the rising sales of both new and used cars. The UK government reported in May 2024 that there were 2.54 million vehicles registered for the first time in the UK in 2023, reflecting a 16% rise from 2022. The vehicles include 342,000 zero-emission ones, marking a 17% rise. The number of licensed vehicles reached 41.2 million by December 2023, a 1% increase, which included 1.02 million with zero emissions, indicating a 47% increase. The proportion of zero-emission vehicles represented 2.5% of all road vehicles, a rise of 0.8 percentage points from 2022. Consequently, the growing inclination towards new and pre-owned vehicles is fuelling the automotive aftermarket demand.
