Auto Parts Remanufacturing in the US

Auto parts remanufacturers have contended with new challenges in recent years. Typically, demand for remanufactured auto parts is countercyclical to the economy, as remanufactured parts offer savings when compared with their brand-new counterparts. But this all changed when COVID-19 swept the globe. Although economic conditions fell steeply, stay-at-home orders pushed transportation to the bottom of the public's priority list, causing remanufacturers to endure steep declines. As the United States reopened, remanufacturers gained some ground but still struggled, as high commodity prices raised the cost of parts production and vehicle ownership while low-cost new imported parts took away customers. Altogether, industry revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 3.1% to $5.8 billion over the past five years, despite an anticipated growth of 0.4% in 2023 alone.
