By 2035, the size of the global automotive aftermarket is projected to exceed $1 trillion, driven by the needs of over 2 billion vehicles on the road (including passenger and commercial vehicles). The growing vehicle parc, increasing in average vehicle longevity, longer annual mileage, and the development in environmental policies are collectively fueling this trillion-dollar aftermarket opportunity.
Currently, the competition and collaboration between international and domestic brands across technology, supply chains, and service models are becoming increasingly profound. International brands are facing an urgent need to localisation, while Chinese companies pursue global expansion. In this context, cooperative win-win strategies have emerged as a critical pathway to break overcoming industry bottlenecks and unleashing growth potential.
The Automotive Aftermarket Summit will serve as a cross-border, cross-brand dialogue platform, bringing together leading enterprises from the global automotive aftermarket supply chain, along with technical experts and policymakers. By showcasing international cutting-edge technologies, localized innovation cases, and collaborative supply chain solutions, the summit aims to facilitate substantive cooperation between global and domestic brands in areas including technology sharing, standard alignment, channel complementarity, and ecosystem co-development. This collaboration will empower enterprises to overcome resource barriers, reduce trial-and-error costs, and capitalize on shared market opportunities, ultimately driving sustainable growth of the global automotive aftermarket.
