Challenges for the Aftermarket Auto Parts

The automobile industry has seen its worst when
the pandemic was at its peak. During this
pandemic situation, eCommerce and online
businesses have shown their growth. We hope this
will not surprise you if we say the biggest
changes the automotive aftermarket is going
through right now are the increasing prevalence
of eCommerce and the digital world. It is also
true that automotive parts buyers like to search
online first rather than visit showrooms or
shops. Research showed that 93 of auto parts
buyers do online research to choose the best one,
and 82 at least partly base their decision on
the companys online presence. That shows that
word of mouth plays a vital role in it.

In the United States, aftermarket auto parts
captured 16 billion in market share through
eCommerce in 2020, a 2 billion increase over
initial forecasts for the year. It proves that
maintaining an online identity is a must to grow
a business. According to the experts, the sector
has started to witness a slight improvement in
2021 compared to the disastrous situation of 2019
or 2020 it still has a long way to go before it
can reach pre-pandemic levels. Here we have
mentioned some challenges which are faced by the
aftermarket industry

Databases and standards The first challenge is
the use of a proper model-making database of each
vehicle and associated car parts fitments. Many
databases are used regionally or globally. These
databases and standards are not properly synced,
even though there are lots of improvements in
that area. This becomes a big issue for
merchants who want the exact one-size-fits-all
solution. Merchants have to depend on securing
databases from different suppliers and
manufacturers. Then they have to properly map
out, integrate, and manage inventories.

Parts fitment This is very obvious because
organizing the different body parts can be
difficult across the vehicles and parts
databases. In particular, it is very crucial to
make it easy to use for website visitors. When
you are choosing an auto part, a lack of clarity
and accuracy in matching can become very
challenging for companies. This is connected to
the database issue that we have mentioned above.
If you can manage it well, you will see a few
returns with more customer satisfaction.

Year-Make-Model filter This is the biggest
issue that is faced by many industries. Forget
about the usual navigation and look for the
specific part by going through levels and levels
of categories. That simply doesnt work in
automotive. This is a very crucial factor for the
visitor navigation will help them find the best
one from the thousands of possibilities.
