The rising penetration of the internet and the growing popularity of online shopping are the main factors fueling the demand for automotive e-tailing services across the world. In addition to this, the soaring sales of automobiles are propelling the requirement for automotive e-tailing services. In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, automobile sales have grown massively in China and India in the last five years and this trend will continue in the forthcoming years as well.

In North America, Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. are witnessing sharp surge in the sales of automobiles. The sales of automobiles have also risen sharply in the Middle-East countries and Australia and Iran over the last few years and this trend is likely to continue in the upcoming years as well. Automotive e-tailing basically refers to the online selling of various automotive parts and components such as interior accessories, electrical and electronics products, infotainment multimedia, tires and wheels, and powertrain.

Due to the above-mentioned factors, the popularity of automotive e-tailing is rising rapidly across the globe. This is, in turn, fueling the expansion of the global automotive e-tailing market. According to the forecast of P&S Intelligence, a market research firm based in India, the market valuation will rise from $26,064.0 million in 2016 to $59.4 billion by 2023. Furthermore, the market is predicted to progress at a CAGR of 13.1% between 2017 and 2023.

One of the emerging trends currently being witnessed in the automotive e-tailing market is the increasing number of start-ups and the entry of several new players in the global e-commerce industry. In addition to this, the governments of several countries are providing these startups financial assistance and enacting various favorable trade policies. The leading automotive e-tailing companies are rapidly expanding their manufacturing facilities via partnerships in order to meet the escalating requirement for automotive e-tailing.

For example, Amazon announced its plans of expanding its research and development (R&D) facility located in Cambridge, the U.K. in May 2017. Moreover, by the end of 2017, the company intends to increase its number of employees to 1,500. Walmart announced in April 2017 that it wants to build new stores and increase the total number of its stores in India from 21 to 50 over the next three years.

Geographically, the demand for automotive e-tailing was found to be the highest in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the past years and this trend will continue in the coming years as well. This will be because of the surging sales of automobiles, the increasing number of mobile internet users, and the rapidly growing economies of the regional countries. The requirement for automotive e-tailing is also predicted to be very high in North America and Europe in the coming years.

Hence, it is safe to say that the demand for automotive e-tailing will shoot-up across the world in the future years, mainly because of the mushrooming sales of automobiles and the rising popularity of online shopping all over the world.
