What the Aftermarket Overview covers
The Aftermarket Overview maps the independent automotive aftermarket from end to end. It starts with the companies that move parts through the market — parts distributors, trading groups and international buying groups — and follows the structure down to workshop networks, garage concepts and repair outlets.
On top of this structural view, the module connects market-relevant data such as vehicle parc and aftermarket volumes. This allows users not only to see who operates in a market, but also to understand the potential behind each country, channel and product group.
Because trade structures are constantly changing, the data is maintained through continuous expert research rather than one-off data collection. Ownership changes, branch networks, affiliations, consolidation and new market developments are monitored to keep the picture accurate and commercially relevant.
All insights can be used directly in the platform and exported for internal analysis, presentations, planning documents and commercial models.
