South Africa Automotive Aftermarket Market Trends & Drivers:

South Africa’s auto repair parts scene is growing fast - thanks to older cars on the road and shifting buyer habits. Instead of waiting for imports, locals now lean more on homegrown solutions because of the SAAM strategy running from 2021 to 2035. That roadmap wants South Africa making up 1% of all vehicles worldwide, pushing output to around 1.3–1.5 million annually by 2035. As factories ramp up, spare part networks get stronger, boosting what’s available after sale. Online stores are changing how people buy components, cutting out middlemen and speeding things up. Because of this tech shift, big companies are pouring money into smoother ordering systems and faster shipping tools. Shoppers find it easier to locate items, while businesses save time handling orders and restocking shelves.

The right-to-repair move in South Africa’s about to shake up repair shops and spare parts sellers. Instead of sticking to official dealers, car owners will find it easier to go elsewhere - thanks to fewer roadblocks and lower prices. As more cars age past warranty periods - with numbers expected to climb fast till 2032 - demand for third-party fixes is growing. Now, local mechanics and niche garages are spreading across the country, backed by global names like Toyota, Ford, VW, BMW, Nissan. Because of this shift, drivers gain better options when keeping their rides running.

The market’s changing fast because of big moves in how people buy cars and whether they even want to own one. On top of that, new car registrations jumped 19.1% in early 2025 - hitting levels not seen since 2014–2015 - with solid gains in Gauteng, the Eastern Cape, and Free State. Because so many fresh vehicles are hitting roads now, there's likely to be more need for replacement parts later once warranties run out. At the same time, Chinese auto brands are spreading like wildfire - growing around eight times quicker than the rest of the market at roughly 88-89% year-on-year - which means repair shops and suppliers have to rethink what stock they keep and how they handle servicing. Firms are teaming up in fresh ways along supply lines to keep parts ready for rising names such as Churo, Haval, JAC, or OMODA. With electric and new-energy cars gaining ground - thanks to a huge 150% tax break from officials - the need for specific auto pieces is climbing; this shift also pushes training upgrades in high-tech skills, nudging the spare-parts market into steady change and expansion.
