Abstract
Overview
Introduction
The aftermarket is a highly competitive and mature marketplace. Over the
period 2006 to 2010, the European market is expected to show only modest
growth in the 25 countries covered in the study. This headline statistic masks
significant variations in market growth by country, channel and market
segment. This brief quantifies and explains these significant differences by
market.

fit, autocentres, tyre specialists, garages, vehicle manufacturer networks.

Report Highlights
The Light Vehicle Aftermarket is a huge, but highly competitive marketplace.
In Europe, across the 25 countries included in this study, the market is
currently worth more than EUR180 billion.
The market is expected to increase steadily in value, by EUR3.9 billion between
2006 and 2010. Although the growth is mainly fuelled by the steady car parc
rise it is also offset by two continuing negative trends - lower replacement
rates (increased parts longevity) & competitive pricing.
The aggregate growth observed at a European level masks a significant
difference in progress between the most mature (Western European) markets and
the nascent Eastern European markets.
