2024 Joint EV Trends and Outlook Forecast Report Released
The Auto Care Association and MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers have collaboratively launched the 2024 Joint EV Trends and Outlook Forecast, which provides a detailed analysis of the trends shaping the electric vehicle (EV) landscape. This report aims to guide professionals in the automotive aftermarket through the evolving dynamics of electrification.
Insights into the Electric Vehicle Landscape
During its unveiling at AAPEX, the report revealed significant findings regarding how the electric vehicle sector is shifting. The analysis emphasizes critical factors impacting EV penetration and the subsequent effects on aftermarket operations. Sponsored by PwC Strategy&, it offers a thorough examination of elements influencing the adoption of EVs within the automotive industry.
Cautious Growth Projections
In a prior forecast, experts anticipated that the share of electric vehicles on the road in the near future would be significantly higher than that of today. However, the recent report emphasizes a more cautious outlook, acknowledging consumer concerns regarding battery charging infrastructure, pricing, and service options, which could hinder rapid growth in EV adoption.
Key Findings on Aftermarket Potential
This year’s report highlights the importance of understanding the aftermarket's addressable market for EV components, which includes both warranty and post-warranty products. As electrified vehicles require specific parts, the report suggests potential for innovative incremental sales in the upcoming years. Despite expectations for growth in sales of electrified vehicle components, traditional internal combustion engine vehicles will still significantly contribute to the majority of aftermarket revenue, reflecting the transitional phase the market is currently in.
Industry Leadership Commentary
Philip Atkins, the director of strategic research and planning at MEMA, remarked, "Electrified components are set to drive incremental growth for the next several years before bringing significant aftermarket growth in the next decade. Our industry must closely monitor market shifts to capitalize effectively on emerging opportunities in an electrified future. Collaborating with the Auto Care Association enriches our data resources and enhances strategic planning options for aftermarket suppliers."
Further echoed by Michael Chung, senior director of market intelligence at the Auto Care Association, the report stresses the need for a keen understanding of market adjustments. He stated, "This report sheds light on necessary strategies for our industry in light of evolving electrification. Our partnership with MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers empowers members with the insights required to adeptly navigate these changes."
