A small number of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) offer vehicle parts as service-based offerings. By adding these additional value-added services into their business model, OEMs can improve product design, reduce capital expenditures, and boost the availability of automotive components. Utilizing automotive components will extend the life of automotive vehicles. Additionally, a lot of automakers are putting scrappage programs into place, which allow customers to trade in their old cars for new ones in exchange for substantial discounts. Over the course of the forecast period, this is likely to increase exports ofs both new and used auto parts. For instance, Toyota Ireland is providing scrappage advantages on the purchase of a new vehicle up to US$ 4,270. The United Kingdom is one of Europe's main producers of automobiles, and it makes large investments in the sector's R&D. Compared to recycling or landfill recovery/disposal methods, automotive parts have been gaining popularity as a better solution to product recovery and applications. Due to advancements in technology, a greater emphasis on renewable energy sources, and a reduction in the environmental effect of transportation, electric vehicles (EVs) are growing in popularity.
