The recent data in the sector show the trend on the vehicles of the local automotive park.
The Antiquity of the Argentine Automotive Park It was consolidated as one of the great challenges for the industry in the 5th Meeting of Leaders of the Replacement Marketwhere specialists agreed that the current structure fully impacts the after -sales, spare parts and technical service.
Florence Delucchidirector of the consultant Gipa for Argentina, Chile and Peru, and one of the speakers in the event organized by the Association of Argentine Component Factories (AFAC), He analyzed the evolution and projection of the circulating park and raised a scenario with structural changes. “The young park segment is on its floor and the recovery begins. The segment of 5 to 9 years begins the decline and that of more than 15 years charges prominence to represent more than one third of the market,” he explained.
6 out of 10 cars in Argentina exceed 10 years old
This aging is not a minor fact: it determines where the post -sales business is addressed and what are the segments that will have the most weight in the coming years. In that sense, Delucchi remarked that “Two out of three pesos generated by the after -sales comes from the old park of more than 10 years. Never in history we had what we see today, almost 60% of the vehicles that circulate in the streets are over 10 years. ”
The executive also stressed that market dynamics are changing. “The young park segment is on the floor of its participation, by the effect of the park,” reflects that new vehicles fail to renew Argentine streets, and that the maintenance of senior cars will continue to be decisive.

The trend worries that an aged park usually requires more maintenance, repairs and spare parts, but at the same time increases costs for users and raises challenges in road safety and energy efficiency. For the post -sales chain, however, it implies an opportunity: The demand for services specialized in cars over 10 or 15 years will grow, generating a new map of needs for workshops, distributors and auto parts manufacturers.
