Description

The Indian passenger vehicles (PV) and light commercial vehicles (LCV) market has experienced steady growth since the COVID-19 pandemic and is projected to continue expanding in the future. In addition, the total number of vehicles in operation (VIO) has increased, particularly among vehicles that are over 10 years old. This trend suggests a longer duration of vehicle ownership, accompanied by a relatively slower rate of vehicle replacement and scrappage. As demand rises for older vehicles and for standard life cycle parts, the aftermarket is expected to benefit significantly, particularly in the area of replacement cabin and engine cooling systems. This demand is further influenced by factors such as worsening climatic conditions, traffic congestion, longer transit times, and changing driver habits. Most of the aftermarket demand for replacement parts is anticipated to come from PVs within the segments discussed in this study. Average annual vehicle mileage is also expected to grow year over year, resulting in a faster turnover of thermal management components. Traditionally, the aftermarket for thermal management components has been dominated by warehouse distribution channels, and this trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. This study explores the market landscape and dynamics of thermal management components for PVs and LCVs. It examines growth in terms of unit shipment and revenue from 2025 to 2031 while discussing factors that influence the market dynamics.
