North American Selected Automotive Remanufactured Pumps Aftermarket
Frost & Sullivan, May 2003
Only the Fittest Survive Distributor Consolidation and Strong Competition
The consolidation of auto parts distributors in the North American selected automotive remanufactured pumps aftermarket has changed the competitive landscape for this market. The increased negotiating power of distributors is compelling remanufacturers to compete aggressively to win distribution accounts. To maintain and gain accounts, remanufacturers often concede generous terms. The end result is deterred growth in average unit prices.
This Frost & Sullivan research analyzes the North American Selected Automotive Remanufactured Pumps Aftermarket, divided into two main segments: power steering and other remanufactured pumps. It provides detailed insights into recent developments, trends, and emerging applications. This study also provides market forecasts, competitive, and opportunity analysis.
Improving Quality of Remanufactured Products Increases Demand
Quality is an important competitive element in the aftermarket for automotive pumps. Demand for high quality, certified parts propels market participants to manufacture premium products. The continually improving quality of remanufactured pumps leads to greater demand. This also allows for higher price and hence greater margins. Furthermore, installers’ changing preferences is now leading them to favor high quality remanufactured pumps in greater numbers.
Lower Prices of Remanufactured Products Support Greater Demand Especially for Import Applications
End-users seeking to save costs in aftermarket replacements find attractive value in remanufactured pumps. “Remanufactured pumps are more appealing, especially in foreign applications, which would otherwise use new parts that are comparatively more expensive,” says the analyst.
Price conscious customers and competition from lower priced offshore products eliminate opportunities to provide premium products and do not allow for product differentiation. “The high penetration of offshore products forces prices of remanufactured domestic pumps to remain low especially in the water pumps segment, which is very competitive and to some extent for power steering pumps,” states the analyst. Offshore pumps are expected to continue increasing their market share in the future as they offer good -quality products while maintaining low prices.
