Global Automotive Aftermarket Outlook, 2025

Publisher Frost & Sullivan
Published Aug 29, 2025
SKU # MC20367877

Description

The study has a base year of 2024 and forecasts trends through 2029. It adopts a global perspective, offering region-specific insights for North America (Canada and the United States), Europe, China, India, Latin America, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations, and the Rest of the World—though the latter is not explored in depth.

Frost & Sullivan’s analysis focuses on light vehicles with gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR) of up to 6 metric tons, which include:
- Passenger vehicles: such as sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, multipurpose vehicles, and vans
- Light commercial vehicles: such as pickup trucks

The findings indicate that global aftermarket revenues have been strongly influenced by favorable demand dynamics—a trend expected to persist into 2025. Robust growth projections for China and India are supported by encouraging market signals from North America and Europe. Contributing factors include aging vehicle fleets, increasing annual mileage, and a rising number of vehicles on the road. As customers strive to maximize the return on their aftermarket purchases, industry players are encouraged to adopt innovative strategies and deliver tailored solutions to capitalize on emerging opportunities. This period is also critical for suppliers aiming to chart a long-term growth trajectory.

Key trends identified by Frost & Sullivan as shaping the global automotive aftermarket in 2024 include potential impacts from proposed Trump-era tariffs, increasing electrified vehicle (xEV) adoption, advancements in technology-driven solutions, and the increasing role of software-defined vehicles and their implications for aftersales service.

These trends point to significant opportunity areas for stakeholders across the value chain.

Additional insights covered in the report include regional variations in market dynamics, changes in the 2024 landscape that will influence 2025, prominent activities by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and local market opportunities available to aftermarket participants in each region.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
