About the 2019 forum

One day, every major aftermarket region

A recap of a past edition — the next one is the Aftermarket Forum 2027 in Cologne. The data behind it sits in the Aftermarket Intelligence Hub.

The 2019 Aftermarket Forum took delegates on a guided tour of the world’s automotive aftermarket — Europe, South America, China, Russia, India, the USA, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa — each presented by a regional expert who knows their market from the inside.

Moderated by growth expert Roberto Dal Corso, the day paired sharp regional analysis with a panel discussion on where global consolidation and cross-border trade are heading next.
