The automotive aftermarket, also known as the aftermarket or secondary market, is the second wholesale market of this car industry, dealing in the sale, re-manufacturing, manufacture, installation, and re-sale of automobile parts, fluids, and equipment. The aftermarket carries a wide range of products including performance parts, spares, accessories, wheels, and tires; anything original that has been modified or rebuilt to fit a specific car model.

Improvement
in the technology used for the production of the automobile is primarily
driving the growth of the ASEAN automotive aftermarket market. This has
improved the operational life of the vehicles. Also, this has improved the
reliability of automobiles significantly over the past few years. This is again
surging the growth of the ASEAN automotive aftermarket market. Increasing
production of automobiles due to growing demand in the region is also projected
to foster the growth of the market. According to the India Brand Equity
Foundation, India became the fourth largest auto market in 2019 displacing
Germany with about 3.99 million units sold in the passenger and commercial
vehicles categories. India is expected to displace Japan as the third-largest
auto market by 2021. Moreover, the two-wheelers segment dominates the market in
terms of volume owing to a growing middle class and a young population.
Moreover, the growing interest of the companies in exploring the rural markets
further aided the growth of the sector.
Furthermore,
increasing investment in the automotive sector by manufacturers to boost
production is further anticipated to propel the growth of the ASEAN automotive
aftermarket market. For instance, Investment flow into EV start-ups in 2019
increased nearly 170% to reach US$ 397 million.
According
to the Indonesia investment, Indonesia accounts for about one-third of total
annual car sales in ASEAN, followed by Thailand in the second position. In 2017
Indonesia's total installed car production capacity stands at 2.2 million units
per year.
