Europe Automotive Aftermarket Market Driving Factors and Challenges
The development of post-sale services for cars, stringent government laws requiring the replacement or upgrading of vehicle components, and the expanding trend of vehicle customization coupled with rising disposable income are all contributing to the projected faster-than-average growth of the European automotive aftermarket during the forecast period. Still, it is expected that growing demands for shared mobility and fluctuating raw material prices will hinder the global automotive aftermarket industry's growth over the given period. Additionally, it is projected that the growth of automotive e-commerce and the rise in demand for technologically advanced features will benefit the automotive aftermarket in the near future.
As technology develops, cars with more integrated sensors will drive safer and experience less wear and tear on their brakes and other components. Because of this, the growth of the automotive aftermarket is hampered by the difficulty of replacing components. Eco-friendly components are installed on Icars to lower carbon emissions and manage global warming. Whether or not to replace parts that consistently damage the environment and increase carbon emissions is not always up to the consumers. As a result, these elements restrict the auto aftermarket.
Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Automotive Aftermarket Market
The COVID-19 pandemic is predicted to last for a number of years, with unclear consequences for the auto aftermarket. For most of 2020 and a few months of 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic compelled governments worldwide to implement stringent lockdowns and forbid the import or export of essential raw materials. A great deal of people are putting off inspections or making optional repairs, and several government transportation organizations are loosening the rules regarding technical controls and inspection schedules. Less well-off clients are also postponing maintenance that is avoidable. These changes are drastically lowering the number of people who visit garages, service stations, and repair shops—even though they are usually allowed to remain open and can still easily obtain parts from distributors.
