Automotive OEM Market: Overview

An automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is a company that produces all parts of a vehicle in-house. The vehicle brand is responsible for manufacturing automotive parts such as engine, outer body, internal components, and other components. OEMs are responsible for all processes involved in innovating, designing, and manufacturing a vehicle component.

According to the market study, vehicular parts obtained from original equipment manufacturers offer higher superiority compared to third-party vendors.

In addition, OEMs also include companies that produce certain parts of a vehicle and sell them to car manufacturers, ensuring delivery of high-quality components.

During the forecast period, the demand for automotive OEM is expected to grow, driven by an increasing number of vehicle owners across the globe. In addition to this, the increased demand for durable and high-performance automotive parts will promote the market expansion rate.

In the coming years, the surge in electric vehicle (EV) innovation will open new opportunities for future growth. However, the industry is expected to face tough competition from aftermarket automotive part sellers as well as the high cost involved with undertaking services from OEMs.

Automotive OEM Market: Growth Drivers

Increased demand for advanced features in vehicles to drive  market value during the forecast period

The global automotive OEM market is expected to be driven by the rising demand for advanced features in vehicles. One of the key components of modern vehicles gaining extreme popularity is integrating advanced safety features alongside infotainment components.

For instance, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have become integral to novel safety measures in all modern vehicles. In addition, several regional governments are mandating the installation of ADAS in new automotives.

In 2022, the European Union launched the  General Safety Regulation 2 (GSR2). It requires ADAS to be installed in all newly registered vehicles starting July 2024.

In addition to this, new mandates under GSR2 include the installation of in-cabin systems for managing driver distraction, drowsiness, and detection of driver readiness. Infotainment systems in novel vehicles are also gaining higher traction. Recent trends indicate that automotive OEMs are largely focusing on using advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based solutions as well as integrating smartphone technology to cater to the changing consumer preferences.

In a recent event, Mercedes-Benz announced the integration of Chat GPT into MBUX and NIO and released NIO Link for hassle-free integration of smartphones.

Growing stringency over harmful emissions and environmental pollution from the automotive industry to propel market revenue

The automotive sector across the globe is witnessing extreme pressure from environmental regulatory bodies and governments to curb the emission of harmful gasses and reduce environmental pollution. This, in turn, is encouraging automotive original equipment manufacturers to invest in innovation aimed at improving fuel efficiency in vehicles and reducing the release of toxic contaminants in the ecosystem.

The global automotive OEM market players are increasingly shifting toward experimenting with more compact engines, particularly hydrogen fuel cells that can power advanced vehicles with ease.

In January 2024, Tata Motors announced the launch of a highly sophisticated and indigenously developed engine for powering Tata trucks in the range of 19-42 tonne across categories.

Automotive OEM Market: Restraints

High cost of OEM parts to limit market expansion rate in the future

The global automotive OEM industry is expected to be restricted by the high cost of the parts obtained from OEMs. Original equipment manufacturers do not compromise on part quality and performance. They use extensively researched technologies to ensure optimal performance of the automotive component.

In addition, all OEM components meet regulatory and safety standards which further contributes to higher prices of the services and products offered by OEMs. The rising inflation rate worldwide and growing cost of living can severely impact demand for OEM-based automotive parts.

Automotive OEM Market: Opportunities

Growing investments in electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide to create new opportunities for market players

The global automotive OEM market is expected to generate growth opportunities due to the rising investments in the EV sector. A growing number of EVs are being introduced and sold in the commercial market across the globe. The growth in EV demand is further facilitated by coherent investments in charging infrastructure and research & development (R&D) of more powerful or long-lasting batteries.

In July 2024, AIM, a leading Japanese technology company focusing on automotive R&D, including powertrains for electric and internal combustion applications, announced that it will debut the AIM EV Sport 01 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new launch is the company’s first concept vehicle made using a PM200 electric motor with a configuration of dual-motor rear-wheel-drive.

In December 2022, Vauxhall, one of the UK's oldest vehicle manufacturers, announced the launch of 100% electric Astra Sports Tourer Electric and Astra Electric, which was launched in the regional market in 2024. The surging rate of innovation in electric batteries, including advancements in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries in replacing lithium-ion batteries for EVs, may act as a game-changer for the market players during the forecast period.

Automotive OEM Market: Challenges

Intense competition from aftermarket brands to challenge industry expansion trends

The global automotive OEM industry is expected to be challenged by the intense competition the market faces from aftermarket brands. Automotive components offered by companies aftermarket services are relatively more affordable and deliver higher value for money.

Additionally, aftermarket service providers are increasingly investing in innovation to improve product performance and meet customer expectations, further helping the segment thrive.
