How complex is the German car aftermarket, really?

Manufacturers, buying groups, distributors, workshops, online platforms, OES structures, IAM networks — the market is highly interconnected and constantly evolving. Understanding these relationships is essential for anyone working in strategy, sales, procurement or market intelligence.

That is exactly why we (Wolk & Nikolic after sales intelligence) have updated our two Germany-focused posters for 2026.

The German Car Aftermarket Structure – 2026 Edition

This poster maps the entire distribution chain — from parts manufacturers to the car driver. It clearly visualizes IAM and OES structures, buying groups, distributors, dealer groups and online marketplaces in one comprehensive overview.

It is more than a poster — it is a working tool for meetings, customer discussions and internal training sessions. A structured market on one wall.

“Who is Who” of the German IAM Parts Distribution – 2026 Edition

Who are the leading IAM distributors in Germany?
How are they connected to trade and buying groups?
Who belongs to which international network?

The “Who is Who” poster answers these questions at a glance. Circle sizes reflect company turnover, and colors indicate affiliation to international trade and buying groups. Each distributor is presented with a compact company profile including key facts such as outlets, employees and operating concepts.

A Professional Eye-Catcher

Both posters are printed in DIN A0 format (1189 x 841 mm), 4-color, 250g quality — designed to stand out in your conference room or office.
