In this research service, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following segments of the starters and alternators aftermarket: new and remanufactured. Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research:
The following technologies are covered in this research:
Aftermarket Faces Rising Competition from Offshore Manufacturers The growing phenomenon of globalization has led many low-cost Asian countries - notably, China, India and Korea - to export starters and alternators to the North American aftermarket. Countries in Asia have the advantage of low manufacturing and labor costs, enabling them to price their products far more attractively than those of North American manufacturers and remanufacturers. With the initial problems faced by offshore manufacturers in terms of quality and reliability now largely resolved, new units pose more of a threat than ever to the remanufactured units produced in North America. Additionally, an important factor acting in favor of new units is that they do not involve core charges, unlike remanufactured units. "This has led to an erosion of the market share of domestically remanufactured starters and alternators, while new units are making inroads," observes the analyst of this research service. "New units have slowly but steadily been gaining an edge over remanufactured ones in this contracting market, perhaps further driven by consumer perception that new is always preferable to remanufactured." In such a scenario, the issue of who should bear the burden of core charges has become a subject of strong debate between remanufacturers and retailers. While some remanufacturers have taken the initiative of providing partial relief on core charges to their customers, others have started taking ownership of the cores. New Starters and Alternators Take Away Market Share from Remanufactured Units Although new starters and alternators are finding increasing favor with many distribution channel participants as they eliminate the need to invest in core deposits, these units are likely to experience relatively slow growth throughout the forecast period. Revenues for new units are expected to increase from $77.2 million in 2005 to $82.9 million in 2012. Remanufactured units are likely to marginally decline in terms of unit shipments and revenues. "While unit shipments of remanufactured units are declining, new units are gaining a stronger foothold in the aftermarket," says the analyst. "This does not necessarily mean that overall unit shipments are increasing, but merely that new starters and alternators are cutting into the revenue market share of remanufactured ones." Given the higher growth potential of new units, some remanufacturers have started to source and manufacture new starters and alternators. The aftermarket is highly mature and competitive, and many remanufacturers are offering new units to widen their product range and provide comprehensive coverage in order to capture new revenue generation opportunities. This trend is also due, in some part, to the fact that starters and alternators are becoming more difficult to remanufacture, as technology progresses. Constantly increasing emphasis on improved product quality, performance, and space engineering have resulted in more complex systems that are not easy to remanufacture.
