Pune, India, May 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The global e-commerce automotive aftermarket size is poised to expand at substantial CAGR during the forecast period as many brick-and-mortar businesses, especially those in the automotive industry, turned to e-commerce to support their businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic gave a severe blow to several businesses as it led to temporary or permanent shut down of manufacturing plants, leading to grave supply chain disruptions. But this downtime turned into a growth opportunity for online businesses as it was exempted from the lockdown restrictions imposed by several governments across the globe.
Some of the trends that will encourage global e-commerce automotive aftermarket growth are listed below:
Role of third-party aftermarket retailers in Europe:
Direct-to-customer and third-party retailers are some of the e-commerce channels through which automotive parts can be sold to end-users. Out of these, the third-party retailers aftermarket segment will show strong growth prospects in Europe up to 2027. These retailers are quite useful when it comes to increasing the share of automotive aftermarket in the region as they can provide higher customer engagement and even give out heavy discounts on different automotive accessories and spare parts.

Europe to see higher demand for replacement parts:
Replacement parts segment is the most vital and dominant one in e-commerce automotive aftermarket as these parts are regularly demanded by several customers. In fact, this segment held almost 80% of the market share in 2020. Parts like brake pads, rotor & drums and hydraulics & hardware will show promising growth during the forecast period in Europe. These parts are quite readily available and do not require the help of a mechanic while working with them.
There are several e-commerce companies that are now penetrating the hardware and automotive industries to deliver these components at the doorstep of the end-user. This results in higher convenience to customers and saves time and energy as well. All these factors will effectively contribute towards market growth.
Business-to-customer (B2C) services to increase:
Europe online automotive aftermarket share from B2C services segment will grow at a substantial rate of 16% CAGR during 2021-2027. The reason why this segment is expected to do so well in the future is because when businesses sell their products directly to consumers, they are eliminating unnecessary distribution channels like third-party sellers and wholesalers.
This helps reduce the overall cost of the products purchased by the customers. The practice even results in increased transparency of business and helps gain customer confidence as well. Another important benefit that will favor the growth of this segment is that when businesses are in direct touch with their customers, it helps them get direct and real-time feedback about their products and services. This helps them identify their areas of improvement as well.

These guidelines got the approval from 29 nations including Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia and Japan.
