Auto Parts Wholesaling in the US

The nuts and bolts of the sector

The future of this mature industry is primarily dependent upon the level of automotive production and demand for auto parts by existing vehicle stock (the automotive aftermarket). Recently introduced computer components aimed at controlling vehicle emissions and proposed safety features will have the ability to increase the value of parts per vehicle and subsequently increase revenue for this industry in the future. This may stem the negative effect that the shift towards smaller and more efficient cars has created.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in wholesaling motor vehicle supplies, accessories, tools and equipment; and new motor vehicle parts (except new tires and tubes).
