They include changing the exterior color, adding accessories to their vehicle, and upgrading their performance. You can also search for parts that are specific to your vehicle.

According to research by Market.us, “The Aftermarket Automotive Parts Market size is expected to be worth around USD  817.66 Billion by 2031 from USD 521.5 Billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031.“

Anurag Sharma, a senior research analyst at Market.us, said, “Automotive parts aftermarket is a crucial aspect of the automotive industry.

Aftermarket suppliers of genuine replacement parts include tire suppliers and lubricants. Industry value chains also retain service providers such as entertainment and repair.

Over the past few years, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have become more involved and focused in the automotive parts aftermarket value chains. OEMs have established networks of suppliers not associated with car brands to better compete with aftermarket businesses. 

They have increased their investments in research and development to create unique accessories and parts available through OEM channels. It has led to a rise in quality and increased options for customers.
