China is experiencing a revolution in automotive aftermarket industry. Increasing vehicle population and car age, supported by positive government policies will create substantial aftermarket demand.
Changing consumer behaviors have also led to emerging business models and diversified distribution channels, which are expected to further drive the aftermarket development.

China’s independent auto workshops stand to benefit from the enforcement of new auto-related regulations and policies
IMMINENT GROWTH IN CHINA'S AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET
Remark*: Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; Source: Industry reports, Wind, AAIA, China Automotive Association, Ipsos Business Consulting analysis;
• Positive government push to better regulate the IAM. While barriers and OEM push backs (e.g. citing IP) might exist in short term, the direction is clear in the mid to long term
• The real effect of those changes, however will be largely dependent on the enforcement of relevant regulations and policies. As MIIT* was not directly involved in the policy-making process, the real effect of those policies is still a question mark.
Implications of Regulation
Anti-monopoly
Improving the transparency of
maintenance information
Encouraging the free circulation of auto parts
OEMs are forbidden to use warranty terms that mandates end-users do maintenance and repair in 4S shops
OEMs are required to provide independent repair shops with maintenance and technical information for all models as of 1st Jan, 2016
Encourage the usage of homogeneous parts; traceability systems for vehicle repair parts to be developed

Future trends
Long-term
• Compared to 4S stores, independent branded workshop chains and middle-small sized workshops enjoy higher growth potential due to light service channels’ high accessibility as well as strong price to performance ratio
• While the independent workshop segment is currently still very unstructured and fragmented, Ipsos believes that consolidation and standardization will take place in the short to mid term through the proliferation of e-commerce platforms and chained franchise models

Closer cooperation with B2B ecommerce channel has become an emerging trend for auto parts suppliers
IMMINENT GROWTH IN CHINA'S AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET
Source: Industry news, B2B platform homepages, Ipsos Business Consulting analysis
Current development of B2B ecommerce platforms
• B2B ecommerce platforms are shaping distribution landscape through building direct linkages between parts suppliers/1st-tier distributors and workshops
• Albeit only being able to fulfill 60%-70% of workshops’ current parts requests, such platforms offer workshops a one-stop purchasing experience
Online transactionsReached 9.8 bn RMB in 2015
Reached 1.5 bn RMB in 2015
Customer baseAim to cover 200,000workshops by the end of 2015
Aim to cover 100,000 workshops by the end of 2017
B2B Supplier
• Enlarge parts distribution coverage
• Obtain first-hand information on market demand
Parts suppliers (e.g. TRW (ZF), Bosch, Gates, Philips, DENSO, Federal-Mogul) have started strategic partnership with B2B platforms

B2C ecommerce channels also present high growth potential for maintenance products and auto accessories

B2C platform type
Key players Business modelUser base
Productrange
• On-line sales has led to increased price transparency and price conflicts with offline channels in some cases
• With limited product knowledge as well as low DIY capabilities, PV owners often still opt for O2O cooperated auto workshops when it comes to parts repair and replacement
ExtensiveLimited resource
On-site service• Mainly offers light on-site services such as car wash and
car maintenance through internal service teams• Product ownership: on-site service channels
Specialized E-commerce
• Mainly sells maintenance products on-line and customers could choose cooperated offline workshops for service / installation
• Product ownership: specialized ecommerce channels
Open platform
• Open platform itself seldom offers services but certain e-stores offering services by cooperating with offline workshops
• Product ownership: combination of direct ownership of open platforms and e-stores
Parts suppliers’ website / flagship stores
• Mainly sells own products via both on-line and offline channels. Customer can get service from distributors or directly-managed offline workshops
• Product ownership: auto parts brands

In China’s dynamic aftermarket environment, value chain players are also constantly adapting their strategies
IMMINENT GROWTH IN CHINA'S AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET
Source: Ipsos Business Consulting analysis
OEMs
• To transform from a manufacturer to a service provider
• To establish/invest in parts supply centers and workshop chains (e.g. 3S shops)
• To optimize cooperation strategy with parts suppliers
Parts Distributors
• To expand product portfolio so to broaden coverage and aim to establish regional distributor alliances and partnerships
• To explore and leverage on e-commerce for broader reach
4S Stores
• To achieve more independency from OEMs and transform from service orientation to be more customer-centric
• To optimize supply chain cost in order to close the pricing gap relative to IAM workshops
Independent Channels
• To improve technology and service levels, and ultimately credibility through establishment of brand reputation (potentially join chain / franchise networks)
• To capitalize on e-commerce leveraging on O2O service models

Aftermarket development
The continuing growth of China's automotive aftermarket means that parts manufacturers may slightly change their business focus from cooperating with OEMs for new car sales to optimizing their supply chains and reach in the aftermarket repair and maintenance segment
Auto parts manufacturers can provide quality control and other standardized, value-adding services such as product training and technical support to complement and leverage on the reach of independent / chain stores. Synergy in this area will also create a win-win situation for all stakeholders
The rise of e-commerce across the industry means that parts manufacturers must keep up with advancements in distribution or risk being left behind. The optimal channels (B2B or B2C) and exact platform / distribution partners to cooperate with will depend on individual parts manufacturers’ goals and appetite
