What lies ahead in China's auto aftermarket?

China's automotive industry, despite some signs of slowing, is expected to show sustained double-digit growth over the next five years. The explosive growth of the last five years has created an increasingly sizeable and diverse aftermarket which has now gotten the attention of the world's leading parts and service suppliers. The aftermarket's profile is quickly changing as higher-quality cars are taking the main share of the car parc. To support this growth and shift in vehicle make-up, the aftermarket structure and key players will also change dramatically. This growth and dynamism is offering attractive opportunity to foreign companies which will only expand going forward.
