The traditional businesses of Car Audio, Car Security and Car Seat covers have been impacted majorly with these developments.

Indian Automobile Accessories aftermarket has seen a fair share of ups and downs in the past decade

The three major factors leading to this disruption

  1. Cars being packed with accessories to attract customers
  2. Introduction of white-labeled products by all car manufacturers
  3. Changing customer needs and aspirations
  4. Government regulations bring an end to a few segments

The modern-day cars are packed with accessories to attract customers and with ease of bank loans for car purchases the customers are rapidly moving towards top-end car models while purchasing. The traditional businesses of Car Audio, Car Security and Car Seat covers have been impacted majorly with these developments. Only customers who wish to upgrade from company fitted accessories are seeking alternatives.

Furthermore, all major OEMs have introduced their white labeled accessories and are attending to customer requirements for entry and mid-segment cars at dealerships itself. This takes out a major segment of the market which was pivotal for auto aftermarket growth for decades

While we look into depth then we will realize that Car OEM’s are far more sensitive to changing customer requirements and want to engage in the complete journey for their new car customer.

With ever increasing internet and smartphone penetration in India, customer nowadays is much more aware and spend decent time on research before every purchase.

Auto aftermarket retailers have been traditionally resisting to changing customer requirements and only a handful of retailers have scaled up to the level of customer engagement which has been achieved by car dealerships these days. There remains a large difference in customer experience and engagement while buying a new car compared to buying aftermarket accessories at traditional markets.

Many popular segments like Bull Guards and Sun Films have been banned by the government on safety regulations which took out another major chunk of business developed by auto aftermarket retailers to cover up for reduced sales in Car Audio, Car Seat covers, and other segments

Nonetheless, all is not lost as increased re-circulations of second-hand cars have been keeping up the business turnover for the auto accessories aftermarket retailers
