Can the automotive aftermarket participate in it? Will it be pulled up?
The answer is yes, when the volume is large enough, it can increase profits and expand channels. But it is also divided according to the nature of the enterprise, and the specific brand and product must be carefully considered.
The product determines the channel, and the automotive aftermarket refers to almost all consumption and services that may occur in the process of normal use and car purchase services after consumers enter the automotive product market. They are more inclined to offline, but with digitalization The development of platforms and platforms has also begun to develop towards e-commerce and online. Many auto supply companies in the aftermarket are out of control in e-commerce and live streaming, while some maintenance-related auto maintenance is still offline. The storefront is more intuitive. Although it cannot be generalized, some companies that have successfully transformed have benefited from it.
Under the traditional aftermarket model, the layout and development of the production of the automotive aftermarket in my country is unbalanced. There are many comprehensive reasons for this. In recent years, various reasons such as raw materials, chips, and international situation have prevented the products of automotive electronics companies from going online. Enterprises cannot find suitable partners, and many enterprises are annihilated in difficulties. However, the market is there, and the car ownership is growing steadily, and then the market industry is still following closely behind. Zheng Yun, a global senior partner of Roland Berger, once said that new energy vehicles The demand for the aftermarket, especially beauty cleaning, traditional maintenance, tires, sheet metal, and electrical and electronic services, will rise rapidly in the next few years. These businesses will be important value pillars for new energy vehicle maintenance. Therefore, under the trend of new energy vehicles in the future, the development of online e-commerce will become more popular in the automotive aftermarket, such as interior accessories and other retail ends.
The booming development of e-commerce platforms has brought opportunities to the traditional sales model, but it has also brought some challenges accordingly. The newly developed traffic advantages are integrated with the traditional model structure, but at the same time, we must pay more attention to the crucial importance of innovation. Function, innovation is the driving force for development, and it will also increase the expansion of the model in the traffic era.
