Automotive Aftersales Products and Services Association (OSS) shared its current strategic analysis study for the Turkish automotive aftersales market. The final report titled “Strategic Analysis of the Turkish Automotive Aftersales Market in 2025”, prepared by Frost & Sullivan for the OSS Association, comprehensively revealed the current size of the Turkish aftersales market within the scope of the light vehicle park consisting of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, its growth dynamics, market structure according to product groups, change in service and distribution channels, electric vehicle transformation, the impact of e-commerce and the main trends shaping the market.
The increase in after-sales income overtook the vehicle park!
According to the report, the total light vehicle park in Türkiye, consisting of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, reached 22 million 826 thousand 24 units by 2025. In the same period, the income of the after-sales market within the scope of light vehicles was 7 billion 567 million dollars. When medium and heavy commercial vehicles were added, this figure reached 10.2 billion dollars. Thus, after-sales revenue increased faster than the growth in the vehicle park in the 2023-2025 period. After-sales revenue, which was 6 billion 466 million dollars in 2023, increased to 7 billion 567 million dollars in 2025, while the annual compound growth rate in after-sales income was 8.2 percent in the same period. The vehicle park reached 22 million 826 thousand 24 units from 20 million 211 thousand 6 units with a compound annual growth of 6.3 percent in the same period.
The report noted that Turkey’s after-sales market is now shaped not only by the growth in the vehicle park, but also by the complexity of vehicle technologies, the widespread use of electric vehicles, ADAS (systems consisting of cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors and software that increase driver safety and help prevent accidents), the increasing share of high-value parts and systems, the strengthening of digital channels and changing consumer behavior. In this context, it was emphasized that in the new growth period of the Turkish automotive after-sales market, technology-oriented parts and service solutions have become decisive, as well as the need for classical maintenance and repair.
Türkiye’s aftermarket has entered a new growth phase!
The Turkish automotive industry continues to be one of the most strategic areas of the economy with its production, exports, domestic market, sub-industry and after-sales services. The automotive after-sales sector, which is complementary to the main industry, is gaining a more critical structure with the increasing vehicle park, increasing average vehicle age, growing second-hand market, changing mobility habits and the transformation in vehicle technologies. The current analysis prepared by Frost & Sullivan for the OSS Association points to both the strong demand potential and new term risks of the Turkish aftermarket. According to the report, while the automotive after-sales market in Türkiye continues to have a structurally strong demand potential thanks to its large and aging vehicle park; In order to capture this potential, players need to act more agilely in areas such as profit margins, working capital, qualified workforce, stock management, e-commerce, electric vehicle service capability and technology investments. In the report, among the main trends affecting the after-sales market, record light vehicle sales, growing and aging vehicle park, profit margin pressure, tightening commercial conditions, qualified technician problem, e-commerce growth, electric vehicle adaptation, brand diversity in the vehicle park and increase in Asian origin parts supply stand out.
The vehicle park is growing, aging and supporting after-sales demand!
The continued growth of the light vehicle park in Türkiye continues to be one of the most important structural supports of the after-sales market. According to the report, as of 2025, the light vehicle park consisting of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in Türkiye reached 22 million 826 thousand 24 units. The light vehicle park, which was 20 million 211 thousand 6 units in 2023, recorded a compound annual growth of 6.3 percent until 2025. In addition to the growth in the vehicle park, the age structure of vehicles also directly affects after-sales demand. While the average age of the light vehicle park in Türkiye was 13.9 in 2022, it increased to 14.3 in 2025. According to the report, 74 percent of light vehicles in Türkiye are over 5 years old. 26 percent of the vehicle park consists of vehicles aged 0-5 years, 17 percent consists of vehicles aged 6-10 years, 19 percent consists of vehicles aged 11-15 years, 13 percent consists of vehicles aged 16-20 years, and 25 percent consists of vehicles aged 21 years and above. This table indicates a strong demand potential, especially for the independent after-sales channel that serves the maintenance and repair needs of out-of-warranty vehicles. As vehicle age increases, the need for maintenance, repair, wear-and-tear parts replacement and damage repair increases; The fact that consumers are turning to more cost-effective repair alternatives due to economic conditions also increases the importance of the independent service and spare parts channel.
Light vehicle sales approached 1.4 million units in 2025!
According to the report, light vehicle sales in Türkiye have shown a strong growth performance in recent years. Light vehicle sales, which were 1 million 232 thousand 635 units in 2023, reached 1 million 368 thousand 400 units in 2025. Thus, a compound annual growth of 5.4 percent was recorded in light vehicle sales in the 2023-2025 period. While the increase in new vehicle sales will bring a new vehicle pool to the aftermarket in the medium and long term, the old structure of the existing park continues to support the demand for maintenance and repair in the short term. The report states that despite the high level of new vehicle sales, the basic dynamics of the Turkish after-sales market is fed not only by new vehicles, but also by the aging vehicle park, increasing mileage and the need for damage repairs.
Annual mileage per vehicle is increasing!
The intensity of vehicle usage in Türkiye also stands out as another factor supporting the growth of the after-sales market. According to the report, the average annual mileage per vehicle increased from 14 thousand 72 kilometers in 2023 to 14 thousand 590 kilometers in 2025. This increase increases the need for wear-related replacement in basic spare parts categories such as tires, brakes, filters, oil, suspension, bearings and cooling systems. It is stated that the annual average mileage in passenger cars started to recover after 2020, and although the usage in pickups/vans and minibuses remains fluctuating, growth is expected until 2030. In particular, e-commerce, last mile deliveries, urban mobility, fleet usage and active use of second-hand vehicles directly affect part replacement cycles.
Passenger and light commercial aftermarket size reached 7.6 billion dollars!
According to the current report of the OSS Association, the size of the Turkish automotive after-sales market within the scope of light vehicles consisting of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles was 7 billion 567 million dollars in 2025. The market size, which was at 6 billion 466 million dollars in 2023, recorded a compound annual growth of 8.2 percent until 2025. Half of this growth appears to be made up of tires, oil, crash elements and brake parts. This data shows that growth in the aftermarket is no longer driven solely by the increase in the number of vehicles. According to the report, repairs increasingly involve high-value parts and systems. ADAS, radar modules, camera integration, calibration needs, LED and matrix lighting systems, AGM/EFB batteries, electric vehicle battery and thermal management components, electronic steering systems, adaptive depreciation solutions and sensor-equipped parts are among the new technologies that raise the value pool in the after-sales market. In this context, the Turkish after-sales market is transforming from the classical spare parts replacement market to a structure that is more technology-intensive, has higher unit prices and requires more specialized service.
Electric vehicles are changing the direction of the aftermarket!
In the report, electric vehicle transformation is considered one of the most important trends reshaping the aftermarket. Total electric vehicle sales, which were 104 thousand 606 units in 2023, reached 393 thousand 579 units in 2025. Thus, there was a 94 percent compound annual growth in total electric vehicle sales in the 2023-2025 period. The share of electric vehicles in total light vehicle sales increased from 8.5 percent in 2023 to 28.8 percent in 2025. Battery-powered electric vehicle sales also increased strongly in the same period. Battery electric vehicle sales, which were 65 thousand 604 units in 2023, reached 189 thousand 968 units in 2025. The share of battery electric vehicles in total sales increased from 5.3 percent in 2023 to 13.9 percent in 2025. Although the electric vehicle park still has a limited share in the total park, it continues to grow rapidly. While the total electric vehicle park was 303 thousand 200 units in 2023, it reached 1 million 70 thousand 658 units in 2025. Thus, the share of electric vehicles in the park increased from 1.5 percent to 4.7 percent. The battery electric vehicle park increased from 80 thousand 636 units in 2023 to 373 thousand 389 units in 2025, increasing its share in the park from 0.4 percent to 1.6 percent.
According to the report, the proliferation of electric vehicles will support some categories in the aftermarket while limiting long-term growth in some conventional categories. While the heavier structure and high torque production of electric vehicles increases the demand for tires, steering-suspension, wheel bearings, cooling systems and battery-connected parts groups; Regenerative braking slows brake wear. Categories specific to internal combustion engines, such as oil, filters, engine parts, starter motors and alternators, will continue to grow, but will show a more limited acceleration compared to general park growth in the long term.
