Mexico’s auto replacement-parts market is forecast to top 788 billion pesos
Mexico’s auto replacement-parts market is forecast to exceed 788 billion pesos in 2026.
The estimate comes from the National Auto Parts Industry and the National Association of Representatives, Importers and Distributors of Automotive Parts and Accessories.
The market supplies parts for vehicle maintenance and repairs, while much of Mexico’s domestic auto-parts production serves vehicle assembly.
Imports help meet replacement-parts demand, with the United States, China and Japan among the main suppliers.
Mexico’s vehicle fleet grew from 30.7 million vehicles in 2016 to 36.1 million in 2025, and is estimated to reach 37.3 million by December 2026.
The fleet is also getting older, with an average age of 16.3 years, increasing the need for maintenance and replacement parts.
The industry groups say manufacturers and suppliers in Mexico have an opportunity to serve this growing market.
Mexico’s automotive replacement-parts market is forecast to exceed 788 billion pesos in 2026, according to the National Auto Parts Industry and ARIDRA.

Average annual household vehicle-maintenance spending is estimated at 19,389 pesos, up 15.3% from 2025.
Mexico’s vehicle fleet grew 17.6% from 2016 to 2025 and had an average age of 16.3 years.

What people are saying
The growth of the Aftermarket does not depend only on more vehicles being on the road, but on the industry’s ability to respond to an increasingly old and technologically diverse vehicle fleet.
Maintenance is a condition for mobility, so the sector must serve different generations of vehicles and different technologies; portfolios, inventories and workshop capacity need to be reviewed to ensure the availability of critical components.
