A GlobalAutoIndustry.com Online Seminar to assist companies and management with doing business in the European automotive aftermarket industry.
About This Online Seminar
The European Aftermarket – Structures, Issues and Opportunities
The European automotive aftermarket is a huge but often neglected and poorly documented sector. It is a major source of profits for vehicle manufacturers, their franchised dealers and component suppliers. It has also been the subject of controversy and concern on the part of competition authorities in recent years.
The presentation will cover these topics:
1. An overview of European aftermarkets, explaining their structures and how they function. This will cover the OES (franchised dealer) sector; the traditional IAM (independent aftermarket), home of the independent repairers and parts distributors; and the New Distribution sector with its chained service and retail formats. The crash repair sector will also be covered.
2. The financial contribution of the aftermarket, competition issues that result from it, the concerns and actions of regulators, the Block Exemption and the Right to Repair clause – and where we stand today
3. Potential changes in the short and long term, and the opportunities that exist for different players and potential new entrants.
