According to a recent report by automotive aftermarket data specialists Lang Marketing, online parts sales increased by 50 per cent between 2019 and 2023 bringing the market to USD$35 billion. That represents about a 14 per cent share of the total aftermarket.
A big chunk of that growth came in the COVID years when the physical business hobbled and digital sales skyrocketed.
