Online parts sales are expected to more than quadruple over the next 5 to 7 years as eRetailers refine their business models for delivering products to vehicle owners and service professionals in the automotive aftermarket. For now, tyre manufacturers are driving the migration to online sales channels as parts and service providers determine which platforms and partnerships are best aligned to their products and customers. For the purposes of this research, eRetailing includes most automotive spare parts sold online in the European Union countries and Russia. More than 20 interviews were conducted with stakeholders across the automotive aftermarket value chain. The base year is 2013, and the forecast period extends to 2020.
