Global Auto Parts & Accessories Manufacturing industry analysis

Revenue for the auto parts and accessories manufacturers has decreased at a CAGR of 6.3% over the past five years and is expected to total $1.9 trillion in 2023, when profit is set to drop to 5.3%. This includes a forecast stagnation in 2023 amid rising interest rates in many countries, which has discouraged new car sales. Despite this, the auto parts aftermarket has helped generate revenue as average vehicle ages have increased. Demand for this segment tends to rise with the number of vehicles in use, and as more individuals take to the roads, demand for replacement parts increases.

Trends and Insights

  • Seaport congestion has created shortages and delays in production. The global supply chain isn't fully recovered despite the world settling back to normal from the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • There are two main types of motor vehicle parts and accessories: those destined for original equipment manufacturers and parts destined for the aftermarket. Original equipment refers to products manufactured to motor vehicle manufacturers' specifications, the primary market for parts manufacturers.
  • Global auto sales are reflective of auto parts manufacturers' primary markets. North Asia is the fastest-growing region, with China and South Korea leading in growth rates, while Japan's motor vehicle parts and accessories market is more mature.
  • Manufacturers carry a low level of market share concentration, characterized by numerous industry players that satisfy local and regional demand. Large companies all maintain a similar small level of market share, generally focusing on niche product offerings or local demand.
