The European Service Parts Market, 2012 - 2022: Market size, market forecast and recommendations

Summary

"The European Service Parts Market, 2012 - 2022", a Trend Report by GlobalData, provides an executive-level overview of the European vehicle service parts market.

This report summarizes the state of the European service parts market. Like all aftermarket components, the service parts market was adversely affected by Europe’s economic recession, with some markets experiencing lasting effect as a result of austerity. During times of recession, people will typically opt to repair their cars rather than replace them, seeking to pay cheaper prices for the components that are fitted as they do. Cheaper components are often less durable so volumes would be expected to increase over the longer term. The markets for components such as engine oil continue to be affected by a number of factors, including emissions regulations, fuel economy and durability. This report outlines the major issues currently affecting service parts in the European service parts market.

Scope

- The passenger car engine oil market will continue to evolve over the next five years to 2022.
- Ever stricter emissions regulations, manufacturers’ desire for improved durability and motorists’ pursuit of greater fuel economy will continue to drive demand for higher value engine oils, which use higher quality base oils, include innovative new additive ingredients and which offer lower levels of viscosity.
- The market for service parts including vehicle filters is also being affected by changing technologies, with newer vehicles often featuring in-built filters, whilst the number of older vehicles in the parc is also driving demand by requiring regular filter changes.
- The major drivers of growth for the filters market is the increase in the production of vehicles, the increasing focus of vehicle owners on preventative maintenance, the increasing average age of vehicles in operation and the increasing number of miles driven per vehicle. In this market, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter and cabin air filters are some of the major segments of automotive filters
