Capturing Aftermarket Growth: Emerging Segments, Electrification, and Digital Services

How Leading Organizations Are Capturing Aftermarket Growth

Trade and tariff uncertainties, particularly in the United States, are pressuring supply chain costs and parts pricing, while geopolitical instability in Europe is challenging operational confidence. At the same time, stricter emissions regulations across North America and Europe are accelerating fleet transitions toward electrification, fundamentally altering service and maintenance paradigms.

 

What’s Driving Growth?

  • In North America, aftermarket parts consumption is expanding as fleet operators are deferring vehicle replacement cycles due to elevated acquisition costs and constrained supply chains.
  • Europe is witnessing parallel momentum, with multi-purpose vehicles multi-utility vehicles (MUVs), sport utility vehicles (SUVs), vans, and pickups driving substantial replacement revenue growth. 
  • Telematics integration, predictive diagnostics, driver safety programs, environmental compliance solutions, and mobile servicing are redefining value propositions.
  • Independent aftermarket (IAM) players are gaining cost-competitive advantages through localization and nearshoring strategies
