Automotive Performance Parts Market Report 2024

The automotive performance parts market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $322.76 billion in 2023 to $340.28 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. During the historic period, growth can be attributed to several factors including expanding vehicle ownership rates, the growing popularity of motorsports, rising disposable incomes among consumers, a burgeoning enthusiast community, and the increasing longevity of vehicles on the road.

The automotive performance parts market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $422.39 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. In the forecast period, growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), heightened emphasis on fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, advancements in 3D printing technology, rising consumer demand for vehicle customization, expanding participation in automotive shows and events, and the growth of e-commerce platforms. Key trends expected in this period include the development of performance parts tailored for electric vehicles (EVs), utilization of advanced materials and lightweight components, expansion of smart and connected performance parts, a focus on eco-friendly solutions to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions, and the integration of AI and machine learning for optimizing part design.

The automotive performance part market is set to grow due to increasing demand for sports cars and luxury vehicles. Sports cars are designed for high performance, emphasizing speed and agility, while luxury vehicles prioritize comfort, quality, and advanced features. This expanding adoption is driven by consumer preferences for high-performance and status-enhancing automobiles. Performance parts play a crucial role in enhancing speed, handling, and overall driving dynamics in sports cars and luxury vehicles, appealing to enthusiasts and enhancing comfort and performance for luxury vehicle owners. For example, a report from the International Council on Clean Transportation in January 2024 highlighted a 63% increase in luxury vehicle sales in Europe compared to 2021, with new registrations within the luxury segment also rising by 63% in 2022. Additionally, sports and utility vehicle segments accounted for 47% of new vehicle registrations in 2022. Thus, the rising demand for sports cars and luxury vehicles is expected to drive growth in the automotive performance part market.

Leading companies in the automotive performance parts market are focusing on technological advancements, such as full titanium exhaust systems, to enhance vehicle performance and expand market presence globally. Full titanium exhaust systems are increasingly favored for their lightweight nature, durability, and ability to improve engine performance. For instance, Akrapovic d.d., based in Slovenia, introduced two new performance products for the Ferrari 296 GTB in December 2023. These include the Slip-On Race Line (Titanium) full titanium exhaust system and the Link Pipe Set (SS) made from high-grade stainless steel. The Slip-On Race Line offers a significant weight reduction of 3.6% compared to stock components, featuring 3D-printed and cast parts for optimal performance and aesthetics. It enhances engine sound with sport catalytic converters and an optimized tailpipe design. The Link Pipe Set complements this by further reducing weight (38.4%) and improving exhaust flow for a more aggressive engine sound, potentially boosting performance with mandatory ECU remapping.
