Methodology

The methodology of the ”Car Aftermarket Europe Report” was used to create After Sales ACCESS.

The experience in the European after sales business we gained by the creation of the Car Aftermarket in Europe reports 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2014 and 2017. In addition, we traveled in the countries for Face to Face meetings with automotive after sales experts. We visited, for example, the representatives of the parts industry, the parts distributors, the national automotive associations, the buying groups, the garage concepts and other opinion leaders in the national markets. Our goal was to discuss the current aftermarket situation, make a comparison with the data from the previous report, analyze data already monitored, and estimate the tendency in the aftermarket.

Subsequently, the data thus collected was compacted, evaluated and compared with the wolk after sales experts database to determine the market size per country. The market volumes for 10 product groups and for the whole market cumulative were calculated by means of the internal tools using the well-researched data from Germany and provided them with a country-specific coefficient.
We calculated this coefficient for each country. For the calculation, we took into account the following national influence factors: mileage per year, GDP per capita, road conditions, the age of vehicle fleet and the habits of the car drivers as well as the parts price index. Depending on the size of the influence factors we weighted them accordingly.

Finally, to eliminate the calculation error, we checked and validated by several methods the data thus obtained with data we collected by research and expert interviews.

• As a first step, we checked the after sales turnover data of the authorized car dealers and repairers adjusted by the labor costs (only sold material) by the OES market share of the total volume.
• In the second step, we compared the calculated IAM share of total market volume with the sales data of repairers, retailers and IAM wholesale distributors adjusted by the gross margin.
• In the next step, we checked the turnover data of the IAM specialists on the repair level (e.g. tires, body and paint etc.) adjusted by the labor costs and compared these with the market volume of the specific product group (market volume for tires, body parts, auto glass etc.). The result should correspond to the market share of the specific distribution channel (e.g. share of tires sold by tire specialists).
• Finally, based on the proportion of labour costs, we calculated the average number of productive employees and compared these with the market data obtained by the F2F interviews.

Testimonials

The market itself is very complicated, fragmented and full of garage networks specific only to single country. With ACCESS it is possible to have both the helicopter view or get down to the finer details. Even if you are only interested in your specific, domestic market it is good to know how this market is seen from outside, what is your position from the point of view of foreign competitors or your vendors. It is obvious that Wolk is one of the sources of information for decision makers in this business.
