Top Impacting Factors
Increase in passenger vehicle sale, volatility in raw material prices, surge in demand for the electrical vehicles, and rise in government regulations on emission control systems are the significant factors that impact the growth of the global automotive aftermarket. These factors are anticipated to either drive or hamper the market growth.
Increase in Passenger Vehicle Registrations
New passenger vehicle registrations increased in Europe, Russia, Japan, Brazil, India, and China though it was sharply down in the U.S. In July 2017, the U.S. was the only major car market in the world with weaker growth with new light vehicle sales down by 7%. The India and Russia car markets expanded rapidly with double-digit growth while the recovery in Brazil continued at a more moderate pace. New passenger registrations in Japan increased for the ninth consecutive month. Moreover, car sales in Europe and China increased, however, the UK recorded a decrease in the car sales in its fourth consecutive month. Considering the global scenario, there is an increase in the demand for the passenger vehicles registrations which is expected to drive growth of the global automotive wheel market.
Increase in Demand for the Electrical Vehicles
In recent years, consumers have shifted their interest to battery electric/plug-in vehicles, as these vehicles do not consume any kind of fuel such as petrol, diesel, or gasoline, and cost low amount of maintenance, and thereby reduce the customers expense. According to the statistics provided by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority, there is a 61% of increase in the plug-in EV (electric vehicle) sales in 2018 as compared to the preceding year, which proves that consumers are shifting their attention to plug-in EV. Similarly, there is an increase in sales by 124% in battery electric vehicle, whereas traditional non-plug-in hybrids have grown by 70%. Such rise in the sales of the electrical vehicles due to their environment-friendly nature is expected to create numerous opportunities for market expansion.
