European markets: car aftermarket
Article Abstract:
The growth of the car aftermarket in Europe has been curtailed by the slow growth of car sales, the improved technology which lengthens the life span of car parts, and the introduction of formerly aftermarket parts as standard equipments in new cars. Replacement parts constitute the bulk of the industry with a market share of 75% to 85%, with tires averaging 15% of the market. France has shown large per car expenditures, reaching $500. Growth is anticipated in the in-car entertainment aftermarket sector.
