A new study predicts investor interest in automotive aftermarket mergers and acquisitions (M&A) will remain high in 2025.
The projection is based on favorable tailwinds including an increasingly aging car population, more miles traveled and the proliferation of new technologies that continue to drive the industry forward, according to an industry report released by the Automotive Aftermarket investment banking team at Brown Gibbons Lang & Co.
In the report, BGL shares its annual recap of the 2024 AAPEX and SEMA shows and explores the automotive aftermarket M&A environment and strategies impacting current and future deal activity. Findings show optimism and interest in the sector remain high, according to a press release announcing the report.
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 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 population are creating continued value of non-discretionary parts and service providers
BGL’s Automotive & Aftermarket investment banking team maintains coverage of the broad automotive sector, including the automotive supply chain, automotive aftermarket and the on- and off-highway commercial vehicle sectors.
