North American Remanufactured Engine and Transmission Aftermarket
Frost & Sullivan, April 2007, Pages: 204
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled North American Remanufactured Engine and Transmission Aftermarket provides unit shipment and revenue forecasts, revenues by product type, distribution channel analysis, and market share analysis among others. In this study, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: remanufactured gasoline engines, diesel engines, automatic transmissions, and manual transmissions
Cost Reduction Leads to Advancements in the Engine and Transmission Aftermarket
Original equipment (OE) remanufacturers are trying to reduce the costs of remanufacturing using improved production techniques. Typically, two or three cores are needed to remanufacture one diesel engine. 'This is because testing procedures for determining core viability for remanufacturing purposes are more stringent for diesel engines than for gasoline engines,' according to the analyst of the study. 'Similarly, core availability is a bigger problem for transmissions for Japanese and European nameplate vehicles because of fast changes in technology.'
The challenge of obtaining cores for older model engines and transmissions may heighten. OE remanufacturers, in collaboration with automakers, have a core collection program in which automakers ensure the return of all cores. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations mandate a 100 percent core return rate, failing which the automaker will be penalized. This could make it difficult for aftermarket remanufacturers in obtaining cores in the future.
Rapid Market Progress Likely to Influence Revenue Growth
The unit shipment share of engines is expected to witness minimal growth throughout the forecast period because of the expected high growth in the promising diesel segment of the engine aftermarket. The revenue share of transmissions is expected to grow over the forecast period because of the expected high price growth in the dominant automatic transmissions segment. High price growth in the relatively small diesel engine segment is not likely to be able to offset the growth that the large automatic transmission segment is expected to experience. Therefore, the remanufactured transmissions segment is likely to grow more than the remanufactured engines segment.
The North American engine and transmission aftermarket is highly fragmented, with approximately 87 percent of the engine segment held by minor production engine remanufacturers (PERs) and custom engine remanufacturers (CERs) and approximately 88 percent of the transmission segment held by minor volume transmission remanufacturers (VTRs) and independent custom transmission remanufacturers. 'The majority of custom engine and transmission remanufacturers are small family-owned businesses,' explains the analyst. 'With rapid progress in technology boosting the costs of remanufacturing, the number of CERs and independent transmission remanufacturers is expected to decline, and the existing PERs and VTRs are likely to gain market share.'
