LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Sept. 11, 2024 – The popular AAPEX General Sessions, “Trends Impacting the North American Aftermarket” and “Aftermarket Outlook 2025,” will return to this year’s event with new data, insights and market research to help ensure attendees thrive in an ever changing industry.

Todd Campau, Aftermarket Practice Lead, S&P Global Mobility, will start off with his annual overview of key industry trends impacting the North American aftermarket and new insight affecting the global aftermarket. He will also discuss how the automotive aftermarket continues to evolve as it faces an ever-changing new vehicle market, the path to electrification and the aging of the fleet. These trends in the vehicle fleet are impacting aftermarket repair opportunities faster than ever before. 

Campau’s session will take place Tuesday, Nov. 5, 11 a.m. to noon, The Venetian, Level 1, Galileo Room 901.

At this year’s Aftermarket Outlook 2025 session, Circana’s Executive Director and Industry Analyst, Nathan Shipley, will cover the trends observed both in general retail and the aftermarket over the last two years and why understanding what drove sales performance during that time is critical for predicting what the near-term future might look like for the industry. The presentation will also provide perspective on how macro trends – both industry specific and more general in nature – might play into future results.

Shipley’s session will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 11 a.m. to noon, The Venetian, Level 1, Galileo Room 901.
