Automotive Aftermarket 2025 to 2032: E-Commerce Disruption, EV Transition and the Aging Global Vehicle Fleet →What Changed
Elevated borrowing rates—averaging 7.6% for new and 11.4% for used vehicles—have pushed monthly car payments past $1,000, forcing consumers to retain aging fleets. Consequently, the total U.S. vehicle population has expanded beyond 295 million units. This structural longevity has enabled low-cost Independent Aftermarket (IAM) repair networks to capture a dominant 46.48% share of total service revenue.
