Inside the report, BGL shares its annual recap of the 2024 AAPEX and SEMA Shows in Las Vegas. The automotive aftermarket M&A environment and strategies impacting current and future deal activity are discussed, and optimism and interest in the sector remain high. Political discussion pervaded conversations more than ever before among company owners and investors, largely due to the unique timing of the show and our U.S. Presidential Election. Through discussions with owners and other industry leaders, BGL identified key strategies that companies are employing to navigate uncertainty and challenges facing the industry.
Key takeaways include:
- How the scarcity of quality assets in 2023 and 2024 has sparked fierce competition among buyers
- Why owners and investors should act soon to seize the opportunities in the non-discretionary aftermarket segment
- The factors behind a surging M&A interest in suppliers of replacement parts and mission-critical services
- Why more miles, older vehicles, and a growing car parc are creating continued value of non-discretionary parts and service providers
