Automotive Aftermarket Outperforms Expectations in 2022

The automotive aftermarket grew by 9.7% in 2022, outperforming previous forecasts of 8.5% growth.

With high inflation persisting, the industry is expected to grow an additional 8.1% in 2023 before settling to more modest – but still substantial – growth rates that will continue to make the industry an attractive one for investors.

The data comes from the 2023 Joint Channel Forecast Model report, published by the Auto Care Association and MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, in partnership with S&P Global.

This year’s report finds that despite the recent increase in economic strain for many Americans due to rising costs, the industry continues to show its reliability and ability to adapt across the service and retail sectors, continually adjusting to meet demand in an ever-dynamic market.

While new-vehicle inventory is being replenished as the supply chain pressures have eased somewhat across the industry, the vehicle parc continues to age, and increasing costs of both new and used vehicles continue to encourage owners to keep their vehicles longer. These factors have provided tailwinds to the automotive aftermarket as vehicle miles traveled have returned to pre-pandemic levels.

“Consistency, reliability and adaptability – that’s what the motoring public have come to expect from the auto care industry over the years, but especially in more recent times with many Americans facing the very real rise in their cost of living,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO of the Auto Care Association. “The latest Joint Channel Forecast Model demonstrates this reality with the latest market figures surpassing expectations yet again.”

Key topics in the new report include:

  • Market-size projections in billions of dollars through 2026, along with year-over-year percent change
  • Sales dollars and market share for the retail, service and dealer channels
  • Key economic projections through 2026 such as GDP, consumer price index and the CPI for vehicle maintenance and repair
  • Forecasts for motor vehicle sales through 2026
  • Detailed factors influencing the growth in the aftermarket

“The automotive aftermarket continues to prove that it can succeed on two fronts: the longstanding production and manufacturing that gives the aftermarket its strong foundation, and the innovation and entrepreneurship that are required with the burgeoning technology changes and opportunities in transportation,” commented Paul McCarthy, president and CEO of MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers. “This year’s Joint Channel Forecast provides an impressive outlook for the aftermarket and underscores the value of investment in this industry.”

The annual Joint Channel Forecast Model report gives an in-depth industry outlook with the latest and most reliable market projections, channel-performance analysis and emerging trends. The full report is intended to help provide further details about the factors influencing the growth of the auto care industry to help businesses make informed decisions, identify growth opportunities and optimize their market strategies.

The Joint Channel Forecast Model report is available to Auto Care Association and MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers members as a membership benefit.

      The Automotive Business Boost at AAPEX 2024
      By Counterman
      The automotive aftermarket’s premiere event, AAPEX 2024, is now just a matter of weeks away. As Carm Capriotto explains in the latest edition of AAPEX Insights, the event is not just an opportunity to explore new products, but a chance to significantly enhance your business.
      In this installment, Capriotto details the benefits of attending AAPEX. He recalls one shop owner’s enthusiasm as he discovered new products and networked with suppliers. This kind of interaction—seeing, touching and asking questions about new tools—provides a level of insight that online research simply cannot match.
      Capriotto discusses AAPEX with Matt Fanslow, manager at Riverside Automotive in Red Wing, MN, and host of the “Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z” podcast. They note a growing trend among shops that attend AAPEX: They return with renewed energy and knowledge that can directly boost their revenue. Any temporary disruption caused by closing a shop for a few days to attend AAPEX is outweighed by the increased efficiency and innovation that follows.
      Fanslow compares the AAPEX experience to a trip to Disney World—expensive but worth the investment. Just as people plan and sacrifice to make a memorable trip happen, investing in AAPEX can significantly improve your shop’s operations and team capabilities. The exposure to new technologies and networking opportunities can invigorate your business and motivate your team.
      The knowledge gained, the relationships built, and the new tools and techniques discovered at AAPEX can lead to substantial long-term benefits. This year’s show runs from November 5-7 in Las Vegas. You can register at

      The differences and options between OEM brake pads and aftermarket brake pads
      By roybrakepad
      1. Price
      OEM brake pads: One of the most significant drawbacks of Toyota OEM brake pads is their higher cost compared to aftermarket alternatives. Since OEM brake pads are produced by Toyota or its authorized suppliers and sold through dealerships, they often carry a premium price tag. This can make repairs and maintenance more expensive, especially for older vehicles or non-critical components.

      Aftermarket brake pads：aftermarket brake pads are often more affordable than OEM brake pads. This can result in significant savings, especially for repairs and replacements that are not covered by warranty or for older vehicles.





      2.Quality
      OEM brake pads： Toyota OEM brake pads are engineered to meet stringent quality standards. They are tested for durability, performance, and safety, ensuring they function seamlessly with your vehicle.

      Aftermarket brake pads：The quality of aftermarket brake pads can vary significantly between manufacturers. While some aftermarket brake pads meet or exceed OEM standards, others may be poorly made or less reliable.

      3.Adaptability
      OEM brake pads: Since OEM brake pads are designed specifically for Toyota vehicles, you can expect them to fit perfectly without any modifications or compatibility issues. This precise fit helps maintain the original performance and integrity of your vehicle. Availability of OEM brake pads can sometimes be limited, particularly for older or less common Toyota models. Dealerships typically stock common parts, but less frequently used components may need to be ordered, which could result in longer wait times for repairs.

      Aftermarket brake pads：aftermarket brake pads may not always fit as precisely as OEM brake pads. This can lead to compatibility issues, performance problems, or even damage to your vehicle if the parts do not meet the correct specifications.

      4.Variety and Customization
      OEM brake pads: OEM brake pads are designed to match the original specifications of Toyota vehicles, which means there may be limited options for customization or upgrading certain aspects of your vehicle beyond what Toyota offers. aftermarket brake pads often provide more variety in terms of features, designs, and performance enhancements.

      Aftermarket brake pads：aftermarket brake pads come in a vast array of styles, designs, and performance levels. This variety allows for greater customization and enhancement of your vehicle, whether you’re looking for aesthetic upgrades or performance improvements.

      5. Performance issues
      OEM brake pads: OEM brake pads maintain consistency in terms of design and performance, as they are produced to the same specifications as the original parts installed in your Toyota.This means that if you want to upgrade your vehicle for higher vehicle performance, OEM brake pads are not available. Options to upgrade certain aspects of your vehicle may be limited.

      Aftermarket brake pads：Some aftermarket brake pads are designed to offer better performance than OEM components. For example, aftermarket brake pads or exhaust systems may provide improved stopping power or enhanced sound.Some aftermarket brake pads incorporate the latest technologies or materials that might not be available in OEM brake pads, potentially offering better performance or durability.

      6.Convenience
      OEM brake pads：Purchasing OEM brake pads typically requires visiting a Toyota dealership or authorized parts supplier. This dependency may be inconvenient for some consumers who prefer the flexibility of sourcing parts from various suppliers or online retailers.

      Aftermarket brake pads：aftermarket brake pads are widely available through various retailers, online stores, and auto parts shops. This broader availability can make it easier to find parts quickly and may offer more convenient purchasing options.

      7.Warranty Issues
      OEM brake pads:Strict Warranty Requirements. While using Toyota OEM brake pads can help maintain warranty coverage for your vehicle, there are often strict requirements regarding the installation and use of these parts. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could potentially void warranty protection in some cases.

      Aftermarket brake padsotential Impact on Warranty: Using aftermarket brake pads might affect your vehicle’s warranty, particularly if they are not approved by the manufacturer. It’s essential to check warranty terms to ensure that aftermarket brake pads do not void your coverage.

      What are aftermarket brake pads?
      By roybrakepad
      Aftermarket brake pads are simply parts that are not made by the original car manufacturer. They are replacement parts that are manufactured by third-party companies, and most are designed and constructed to fit exactly the same and work as well or better than the OEM brake pads they replace.
      In fact, the term “aftermarket” can be a bit confusing. In reality, the more accurate term, and the one we use, is “alternative part”. That’s because these non-OEM brake pads are just that – an alternative to using OEM brake pads for repairs on your vehicle.
