The Auto Ancillaries companies are catering to three markets: original equipment manufacturers, the replacement market and exports. The reason why these companies are seeing such a growth is the replacement demand setting and a continuous demand for new vehicles.

“The replacement cycle for a majority of the components is around three to four years. Healthy sales recorded by the automobile industry during 2010-12 and stretched replacement will kick in replacement demand in 2015-16,” says Mitul Shah, a senior research analyst (auto and auto ancillary).
