Automotive Aftermarket Summit 2024

The automotive aftermarket, an essential part in the automotive industry's value chain, is growing in significance every day due to the quick development of new energy vehicles, the widespread use of intelligent and connected vehicle technology, and the growing demand from consumers for customised, superior services.

The theme of the Automotive Aftermarket Summit 2024 will be "Innovate, transform: driving a sustainable future." The summit aims to bring together the brightest minds in the global automotive aftermarket to discuss the following topics:

Innovation and Change: Encouraging creative adjustments to service models, technical capabilities, and management to adapt to new technologies such as intelligent connected vehicles and new energy vehicles.

Integration and Symbiosis: Promoting cooperation across industry segments for a mutually beneficial aftermarket ecosystem.

Sustainable Development: Balancing financial gains with social and environmental considerations for a green, low-carbon future in the automotive aftermarket.

At this summit, we aim to guide the automotive aftermarket towards sustainable growth, identify key directions for the industry, and facilitate knowledge sharing to foster industry-wide consensus.
