Description
The objective of this research was to identify trends within the aftermarket market for batteries, tires, motor oils, and brake pads, measure factors driving product selection, identify brand use and preference trends in all categories, and evaluate purchase channel opportunities. The markets for the 4 categories are concentrated among one to three brands; some have clear leaders whereas others do not have a strongly differentiated brand as yet. Automotive technicians prefer product-related attributes, while customer preference and past experience rate second followed by service attributes. In all markets, program distributors have risen in favor among installers with local distributors dropping to second or third.
