In this research service, Frost & Sullivan has assessed the automotive aftermarket in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, focusing on Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand.
The research service provides an aftermarket overview for 2025, covering automotive aftermarket performance and analyzing various trends influencing demand for automotive parts replacement, repair, and maintenance.
Furthermore, the research service includes relevant government regulations; VIO data by vehicle type and by brand; aftermarket revenue forecasts; forecast analysis; distribution channel analysis; leading aftermarket parts suppliers; key parts distributors and retailers; and aftermarket opportunity areas in each country.
The APAC region is a vital player in the global automotive aftermarket. The outlook for growth in the Chinese market remains strong, primarily due to an increasing vehicle population, low vehicle ownership rates, and stable GDP growth. In contrast, Australia's aging vehicle population is expected to create further opportunities in its automotive aftermarket. Although Japan's aftermarket demand is relatively stable, a declining population and a decrease in household numbers may gradually reduce the vehicle infrastructure output (VIO).
Meanwhile, Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand are projected to emerge as significant players in the automotive aftermarket, as they continue to expand their vehicle production and aftermarket activities.
This study outlines the size of each respective aftermarket, examines historical industry data from 2024, and provides forecasts extending to 2032.
