Key Talking Points
  • The biggest disruption in the supply chain since World War II- demand coming out of the pandemic, the reason for inflation. Not a singular problem, it’s the entire system being overwhelmed. COVID restrictions with overseas ports. 
  • Shipping issues and delays- ports backed up, just being able to get space on a truck or shipping containers. Shipping container fee for the boat is 20K. Starting to use more airfreight. 
  • Truck issues- access and drivers
  • Raw material shortage- chemicals, oil, microchips, steel etc.  
  • Labor issues- working in plants and warehouses. Stimulus is keeping a lot of people at home. Labor inflation
  • 7,000 workshops in the USA- busy as they want to be as they manage their capacity. 
  • 1 million jobs available in industry plus retirement is a double edge sword. 
  • Nearshoring is growing- less supply risk but labor issue is still prevalent 
  • Quality issues- competitors with the same part available are made in low-cost countries. You need customer satisfaction, the brands that you long trust for quality are still brands to trust. Top shops want the best quality parts. 
  • Manufacturer website- Knowyourparts.com 
  • How long will it last? How long will we see this level of demand for repair shops? This year that will have over 11% growth over last year. Next year over 5% growth. 2023 and 2024 growth slow of course, but is still above the pre-pandemic trend.
  • Electrification- more opportunity than threat for the aftermarket, be ahead of the curve.
  • A special thanks to Bruce Ronning, Brian Norko, Malcolm Sissmore and Paul McCarthy for their contribution to the aftermarket.
