Miles driven are rebounding, ecommerce is booming, and trends toward crossovers and SUVs are driving repair and maintenance costs. Many good things are happening in the aftermarket, despite the pandemic. Paul McCarthy, president of the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association kicked off the Global Summit, offering insight on the aftermarket, what is to come and what the industry should truly be worried about. Describing supply chain disruption of the sort that we haven't seen in decades, "the aftermarket has been shaken. It has also proved amazingly resilient," McCarthy said. Although business has been challenging, the industry remains vital to giving consumers the ability to have safe, affordable access to the freedom of mobility. McCarthy covered a few key industry trends and what they mean for the market long term. |
