For automotive enthusiasts, finding quality OEM parts and performance parts is crucial to maintaining their vehicles. Alongside these components, investing in top-notch car care products ensures longevity and aesthetics. From enhancing stopping power with reliable brakes to upgrading aesthetics with sleek wheels and powerful exhaust systems, every aspect of the vehicle can be tailored to perfection. Moreover, optimizing suspension and fine-tuning engine parts maximizes performance potential, while cutting-edge automotive electronics provide advanced functionalities and connectivity. Proper maintenance requires attention to detail, including the selection of high-quality fluids and the occasional replacement of body parts for both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Whether it's for performance gains, aesthetic upgrades, or routine maintenance, a comprehensive selection of automotive products, ranging from OEM parts to car care products, caters to every need of discerning car owners.
The market is growing due to the benefits of using original OE replacement parts. The original automotive parts available in the aftermarket are generally available with a warranty and adhere to quality standards and specifications. The warranty period generally ranges from 1 year to 3 years, depending on parts to parts. This boosts the confidence among buyers in the commercial market, and therefore acts as the market enabler for the concerned market. Replacing a worn-out, older part of the component in a vehicle seems to be one of the challenging issues for the vehicle user. Not only does it require the user to check for the availability of the part/component in the store/online, but it also needs selective decision-making in terms of alternatives and cost. This can make the process quite tedious and hectic.
In addition, the availability of fake, unauthorized, or duplicate parts in the automotive aftermarket further adds to the confusion. This is because such parts or components not only fail to match the performance of the original and genuine parts but can also affect the performance of the vehicle as well. Hence, it becomes very important to make sure that all aftermarket parts are genuine and original. The original and genuine automotive aftermarket parts are quality-made and adhere to the required standards and specifications as needed. In addition, they generally also come up with a limited warranty against defects or malfunctioning, which gives peace of mind to a buyer as well. Hence, the presence of such factors is expected to drive the growth of the automotive parts aftermarket in US during the forecast period.
The growth in the availability of automotive aftermarket parts on e-commerce platforms is a significant trend impacting the US aftermarket automotive attachments and components market. Sales of online retail parts have been consistently increasing, reflecting a shift towards online platforms. E-commerce platforms offer several advantages, such as providing detailed information about the parts or components, and the ability to compare prices with other websites.
Moreover, the brake parts, filters, lighting components, tires, lubricants, and batteries are among the popular automotive aftermarket components bought online. These factors are expected to support market growth during the forecast period.
The growing adoption of 3D printing in the manufacturing industry could potentially hinder the growth of the US aftermarket automotive parts and components market. The use of 3D printing allows for same-day production and shipments, enabling automotive spare part manufacturers to shift towards on-demand manufacturing to reduce inventory management and packaging costs.
However, this reduces the need for bulk production, and manufacturers can save on inventory, time, and labor costs. As a result, the adoption of 3D printing is increasing in industries such as electronics, automotive components, and workshop tools. However, this may reduce the demand for automotive components, negatively impacting the growth of the aftermarket in the US during the forecast period.
