The European automotive aftermarket is stronger than ever.
According to the recently published 10th edition of the Car Aftermarket Europe Report 2022, which contains the latest and verified data from 34 European countries, the aftermarket in Europe grew by 5% in 2021.
After a drop of 3,8% in 2020 the total value of sold spare parts in Europe has recovered and gained. Already during the pandemic, the aftermarket has shown its resilience towards larger crises, as it did in 2008. The year 2021 was full of crises as well. The pandemic situation, the shortage of supplies, the difficulties with the logistic chains etc..
Most of the circumstances have led to better performance in the Aftermarket, as the car drivers have to drive their current cars for a longer period. The situation of uncertainty has continued and even accelerated in 2022 due to the war in Ukraine, energy sourcing issues, and inflation.

Aftermarket value development in Europe between 2018 and 2021

The report provides detailed information on each country’s passenger car and truck aftermarket. The report is the ideal support to understand the big picture of every single country in Europe. It gives a good overview of the aftermarket structure including the distribution and garage structure. One of the current trends that have accelerated during the pandemic crisis is that car manufacturers are becoming more active in the independent car aftermarket channel. Disregarding this trend, the market is still divided into two major channels. Both channels are described in their structure and total value.
Further, the report contains the number of car repair stations per country with a split into the different workshop types.

Additionally, the most important players like spare parts dealers, trade and buying groups, and the different garage types are represented with a company profile. The profiles contain the address, number of outlets, membership of national and international trade groups, and annual turnover.

The Car Aftermarket country reports are up to 120 pages long and include tables and graphs reflecting the specifics of each local market.
The reports cover not only the European Union plus Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, but all countries in the East up to and including Belarus, Russia, and Turkey. This makes the reports a valuable source of information, offering a unique insight into the European automotive aftermarket.

The Car Aftermarket Europe Report 2022 is an important tool for the European automotive industry. It provides a comprehensive and accurate overview of the European aftermarket and helps companies develop their strategies and determine their position in the market.

Product Details
Format: PowerPoint Charts in PDF
Edition: 2024
Language: English

Right in time for the international tire trade fair TireCologne 2024, BBE Automotive GmbH presents an extensive study on the German tire market. Thousands of interviews (2,000 per year since 2021) with car drivers and hundreds of CATI interviews with OE dealers and IAM workshops have been conducted to build up the database, while comprehensive desk research completes the study.

Ten key statements describing the content of the study:

  1. Premium and quality tires dominate the aftermarket in contrast to Europe as a whole
  2. Brand loyalty is turning into loyalty to quality standards
  3. Budget tires have increased their market share significantly and will continue - speed of growth is uncertain
  4. Tires are not a product of high interest and many people do not concern about it
  5. Growth of the all-season tire sector is as certain as climate change
  6. Pure online players are losing market share: The business model is reaching its limits
  7. Ongoing concentration/consolidation process also at wholesale and workshop level
  8. Demo tires: A segment to think about
  9. Germany is still the largest tire market in EU Europe and neighboring countries
  10. Owning a car is indispensable, but emotional attachment is declining
