afTerMarkeT servICe anD reTaIl Channels Historically, distribution of aftermarket parts, accessories and chemicals has been accomplished through either the service channel to consumers who prefer to have a professional service provider repair their vehicles for them (DIFM) or through the retail channel to consumers who want to work on their vehicles themselves (DIY). Within the service channels, most types of outlets have experienced consolidation throughout the past few decades. Since 2002, the number of specialty repair shops registered the largest decline, with a compounded annual growth rate of -3.0 percent. Decreases were also seen in the number of motor vehicle dealerships (-0.9 percent), independent body shops (-0.6 percent) and gasoline stations (-0.4 percent). In contrast, oil change and lubrication shops have grown 1.4 percent annually since 2002, while general repair garages have been flat. Five retail channel outlets have been growing in recent years. Among these, drug stores have experienced the strongest compounded growth since 2002 (3.6 percent); followed closely by discount stores (3.5 percent), tire dealers (0.8 percent), auto parts stores (0.3 percent) and warehouse clubs (0.3 percent). In contrast, the number of department stores (-2.1 percent) and hardware stores/home centers (-0.7 percent) have experienced annual rates of decline between 2002 and 2008. aftermarket service Channels (estimated number of outlets) Compounded Annual Growth Rate 2002/2008 -0.9% 0.0% -3.0% -0.4% 1.4% -0.6% -0 .4% Outlet Type Motor Vehicle Dealers General Repair Garages2 Specialty Repair Shops2 Gasoline Stations2 Oil Change and Lubrication Shops2 Independent Body Shops2 Totals 1 2002 21,800 76,884 11,745 108,010 7,055 37,453 262,947 2003 21,725 76,707 11,564 107,628 7,429 37,229 262,282 2004 21,650 76,745 11,332 106,841 7,626 37,048 261,242 2005 21,640 76,614 10,992 106,393 7,735 36,818 260,192 2006 21,495 77,094 10,545 106,107 7,730 36,649 259,620 2007 21,200 77,181 10,145 105,957 7,741 36,467 258,691 2008* 20,700 76,667 9,801 105,343 7,681 36,208 256,400 Notes: * Preliminary Historical data have been revised.
