Snapshots Report Overview:

Executive Summary

The Executive Summary within a Snapshots report outlines the main findings of the report (market size, market shares and market forecasts)

Market size

Market size is the measure of the total value or volume of a particular product sold in a particular length of time. In our case it is the total amount of the market covered by a title in the last whole year, for example, in UK Beer 2005, all the beer consumed in the UK in 2004. The aim of the report is to tell how much of the product was consumed in the country discussed by value and by volume.

Market Segmentation

Market Segmentation is a segmentation of the market by key product categories, ideally by value and volume. For example: the yoghurt market can be segmented into: drinking yoghurt, flavoured yoghurt and natural yoghurt.

Market Share

Market Share is the share of each competitor in the market place and can be expressed in value or volume terms.

Market Share by Volume - each competitor’s share of the total Market Volume
Market Share by Value - each competitor’s share of t

How to Strategically Evaluate South Korea Perhaps the most efficient way of evaluating South Korea is to consider key dimensions which themselves are composites of multiple factors. Composite portfolio approaches have long been used by strategic planners. The biggest challenge in this approach is to choose the appropriate factors that are the most relevant to international planning. The two measures of greatest relevance to automotive aftermarket products are “latent demand” and “market accessibility”. The figure below summarizes the key dimensions and recommendations of such an approach. Using these two composites, one can prioritize all countries of the world. Countries of high latent demand and high relative accessibility (e.g. easier entry for one firm compared to other firms) are given highest priority. The figure below shows two different scenarios. Accessibility is defined as a firm’s ease of entering or supplying from or to a market (the “supply side”), and latent demand is an indicator of the potential in serving from or to the market (the “demand side”). Framework for Prioritizing Countries Demand/Market Potential Driven Firm Relative Accessibility Accessibility/Supply Averse Firm In the top figure, the firm is driven by market potential, whereas the bottom figure represents a firm that is driven by costs or by an aversion to difficult markets. This report treats the reader as coming from a “generic firm” approaching the global market - neither a market-driven nor a cost-driven company. Planners must therefore augment this report with their own company-specific factors that might change the priorities (e.g. a Canadian firm may have higher accessibility in Canada than a German firm). Latent Demand and Accessibility in South Korea This report provides a detailed overview of factors driving latent demand and accessibility for automotive aftermarket products in South Korea. Latent demand is largely

Increasing Consolidation among Distributors Creates Tighter Profit Margins for Remanufacturers

Increasing consolidation among distribution channel participants means that remanufacturers have fewer, more powerful customers. These major clients leverage their bargaining muscle to secure price concessions. Remanufacturers are pressured to offer quality products at low profit margins, a difficult task against escalating costs. The position of remanufacturers is further weakened because consumers value rack and pinion units only as base commodities. Non-existent support for brand premiums, due to low levels of product differentiation, call for countermeasures planned with marketing foresight.

This new research service from Frost & Sullivan analyzes the North American remanufactured rack and pinion aftermarket and provides market intelligence to help remanufacturers identify opportunities for business development. The research service provides strategic analysis and forecasts, discusses drivers and restraints, competitive environment, and industry trends along with potential market impact.

Consigned Inventories Redefine the Landscape of Remanufacturing Businesses

Distribution channel leaders have begun pressing remanufacturers to own their inventory until it is paid for / scanned by the consumer at checkout. AutoZones pay-on-scan (POS) proposal, for instance, would like to see consigned inventory systems become more widely implemented. Customary inventory management practice entails that the retailer owns and pays for the inventory when received from the remanufacturer. “If this practice becomes adopted, other large retailers can be expected to follow AutoZones lead. They will need to do so in order to remain competitive in paring down inventory management costs,” says the analyst of this research service. This new development is likely to negatively influence warehouse distributors, jobbers, and independent retail stores.

“As the implementation o

Economic Swings Strengthen Car Maintenance Markets

In the late 1990s, strong economic growth boosted North American vehicle sales. Now, as growth slows, consumers are keeping cars longer, investing in maintenance rather than replacing them. Meanwhile, rising fuel prices will
encourage owners to optimize their cars performance and a rapid accumulation of miles on each car will motivate owners to have their vehicles serviced more frequently. Consequently, the markets for automotive maintenance services should experience steady growth over the
forecast period.

This study evaluates demand for major automotive maintenance service packages in the United States and Canada. It examines the markets for oil and lube changes, scheduled 6000-mile maintenance, coolant flush and fill, wheel alignment, tune-ups, transmission service, and air conditioning service. By disclosing drivers and restraints and presenting accurate revenue forecasts, this study gives its users an essential guide to the future of the industry.

Providing Quality Service Must Be the Top Priority

Quality is the number one factor affecting consumers choice of where to get their cars serviced, says the analyst responsible for this study. In a highly competitive field, maintenance service providers are finding it difficult to distinguish their offerings from those of their competitors. While many have dropped prices to attract customers, resources would be better spent promoting quality and convenience.

Consumer preference for quality is reflected in the increased use of specialty stores for service. Customers believe these outlets perform more efficient and accurate work than they could do on their own. Specialty chains have developed brand awareness, and with it, customer expectations of quality. This study tracks consumer preferences and assesses their impact on the marketplace, enabling your company to design the most effective market strategy.

Rebuilding transmissions is a capital-intensive business requiring significant investment in equipment, cores, and employees. Parts proliferation, the advent of electronics, and the need to manage cores effectively present transmission rebuilders with unique challenges. This Frost & Sullivan report presents a clear view of the threats and opportunities in the marketplace, and outlines the vital market trends you need to understand to keep your company among the leading market contenders. The report identifies the internal and external competitive forces shaping the industry, and includes profiles of key industry participants.

Consumers are increasingly turning to service facilities for repairs and routine maintenance on their vehicles rather than performing the work themselves. The database at the foundation of this Frost & Sullivan report enables segmentation of the market in approximately 30 ways. Selected from more than 1,000 calculations performed, the cross-tabulations highlighted in this report are of interest to market participants across the DIFM industry. Based on a survey of 401 DIFM customers.

As the quality and availability of aftermarket collision parts improves, automakers will need to cut pricing on original-equipment (OE) parts to maintain market share. This Frost & Sullivan survey of 160 U.S. body shops puts you on the front lines of autobody repair decisions. It pinpoints attitudes on key market issues, such as quality of parts, speed of delivery, price, and availability of parts, and includes information ranging from the most frequently performed repairs to shops labor and pay rates.

Competition is driving competition on units and pricing that if left unchecked will contribute to the deterioration of the market.

The demand for filtration aftermarket products is on the rise however the industry’s production capacity is easily meeting that demand. Furthermore the end user is experiencing a profitability pinch that is exaggerated with every rise in fuel prices. This combination of ability to supply and demand for lower cost is a challenge that this industry faces. New emission regulations for HD trucks will be a significant factor to reducing the impact of the above challenge. As the percentage of new vehicles in use increases, operators are more likely to invest in maintenance products that will sustain the life of the vehicle.

Land transportation of goods is essential to the growth of the North American economy. The marketplace has started comprehending that fact and to the delight of operators, the marketplace is starting to take stock of the opportunity that lies within the heavy duty transportation industry.

As much as North American recognizes other forms of goods transport, it is unwilling to give up the convenience and timing that door to door land transport provides. This has allowed the land transportation industry to flourish over the past 10 years but operators have been unable to reap the benefits of the rise. Showcase rest stops that finally recognize the operator as a the business person they are were the first signs of this evolution. The secondary signs are in the maintenance service industry. We are starting to see the proliferation of maintenance products to support the cost, quality, and application specific needs of the ever expanding trucking population. We are also seeing the development the distribution channels that bring this broader array of products closer to the user at reduced prices. This study defines the market share positions of each and how those products are getting to market today and in the future. Th

Market Sectors

Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research:
- New starters and alternators
- Remanufactured starters and alternators

Technologies

The following technologies are covered in this research:
- Starters: Starters are electric motors with high torque capability that uses energy stored in the battery to initiate the engine. A gear mechanism is used to transfer energy to the engine flywheel. The gear is declutched from the engine flywheel once the engine starts and thereafter, the engine operates on its own. Damage to starters occurs due to overheating when excessive cranking occurs. Present day starters have permanent magnets that replace the copper windings, thereby reducing weight. Most of these types of starters provide gear reduction to increase torque and maintain the size of the starters to be as compact as possible.
- Alternators: Alternators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, thereby replenishing the battery with the electric energy necessary to operate automotive systems and start the engine. Automotive systems include motors, lights, and electronic components. Alternators are stronger in construction, allowing them to rotate at higher speeds, which improves power output when the vehicle’s engine is idling. Even though the vehicle’s battery supplies current, it cannot do so for extended periods of time as it needs to be replenished with charge from the alternator. This steady flow of current is supplied by the altern
