Key Findings

COVID-19 Impact

Pandemic Hampered the Demand for Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with Auto parts market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

Many auto parts manufacturers faced disruptions in their supply chains due to factory shutdowns, restrictions on movement, and reduced workforce during the pandemic. This led to delays in production and delivery of auto part, causing a shortage in the market. The pandemic caused a decline in vehicle sales as economic uncertainty, lockdown measures, and reduced consumer spending affected the automotive industry. With fewer cars being produced and sold, the demand for market also decreased. The pandemic resulted in a shift in consumer behaviour, with people reducing their travel and commuting. As a result, the demand for certain parts like tires, brakes, and suspension components decreased, while the demand for maintenance and repair parts increased as people focused on keeping their existing vehicles in good condition. The economic impact of the pandemic led to financial challenges for many parts suppliers. Reduced sales and disrupted operations put financial strain on companies, leading to layoffs, bankruptcies, or closures in some cases.
