The global commercial vehicle market faced significant headwinds in 2024, with declining sales in the medium-duty (MD) and heavy-duty (HD) truck segments. This trend continued into the first half of 2025. Economic uncertainty, exacerbated by trade and tariff policies in the United States, stricter emission standards, rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and reduced consumption, among other challenges, adversely affected the global truck replacement parts aftermarket.

The overall vehicles-in-operation (VIO) of the MD and HD trucks segments stood at 49.8 million units globally in 2024, with many fleets retaining older vehicles. The majority of truck parts revenue came from engine and transmission systems; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and thermal management systems; fuel management components; sensors; exhaust systems; tires; and lubricants.

The overall aftermarket is projected to grow by 4.3% in 2025, supported by countries pursuing alternative paths to ensure domestic economic stability. Despite global challenges, markets such as China, India, and select Latin American countries are showing steady growth, indicating a positive outlook for the freight and trucking sectors.

This Frost & Sullivan analysis of the 2025 global MD and HD commercial vehicle aftermarket provides forecasts for 2024 to 2030, identifying major parts categories and key growth opportunities. It identifies key trends and growth opportunities that impacted the 2024 global MD and HD truck aftermarket. The outlook covers the geographic regions of North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa, highlighting major contributor markets.

Market forecasts are based on multiple parameters, including average miles driven, VIO, new truck sales, vehicle age, replacement rates, and region-specific operating environments. Each regional analysis includes analysis and data on aftermarket size, VIO, new truck sales, revenues, and distribution channel dynamics.

Additional insights include emerging aftermarket trends, major OEM and parts supplier activities, distributor and retailer strategies, and growth opportunities across both original equipment service (OES) and independent aftermarket (IAM) service channels.
