North America has a developed automotive industry due to the continuous production of commercial vehicles. According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA) 2021 report, the US produced 7,604,154 commercial vehicles in 2021, 6,895,604 in 2020, and 8,367,239 in 2019. Similarly, Canada produced 826,767 commercial vehicles in 2021, 1,048,942 in 2020, and 1,455,215 in 2019, as per the OICA 2021 report. Mexico produced a total of 2,437,411 commercial vehicles in 2021, 2,209,121 in 2020, and 2,604,080 in 2019, as per the same report. The US, Canada, and Mexico are leading in the commercial vehicle production segment worldwide, as per OICA statistics. Thus, the continuous production of commercial vehicles across the region supports the e-commerce automotive aftermarket market growth in North America.
In North America, the US, Canada, and Mexico witnessed a significant rise in the number of COVID-19 cases. Many manufacturing plants were shut down, municipalities were functioning at a decelerated pace, and the operations of the automotive & semiconductor industries were discontinued in 2020, after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the region, the interruption in the value chain caused by the shutdown of various production facilities and warehouses in the US and Canada due to the COVID-19 pandemic had an immediate impact on short-term demand, logistical infrastructure, and product inventories. However, the automotive industry continued to grow because of the unique services offered by online channels in terms of servicing, repair, and replacement. Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce was rapidly expanding. However, the pandemic increased the number of US consumers using online platforms, encouraging them to spend more money. These activities resulted in a large revenue share due to the penetration of a well-organized e-commerce ecosystem that allows automotive equipment makers to engage in e-commerce-specific aftermarket sales. In April 2021, sales of automobile components, parts, and accessories in the e-commerce automotive aftermarket market in the US and Canada increased by over 60% compared to 2020.
