The consolidation of the automotive parts aftermarket sector in transitioning economies: the case of Poland
by Darek Klonowski
International Journal of Automotive Technology and Management (IJATM), Vol. 8, No. 1, 2008

Abstract: While the Polish passenger car market has experienced a significant growth in recent years, the development of the automotive parts aftermarket has faltered. The distribution chain is cluttered and inefficient. The market is fragmented and no dominant market player has emerged.

The effort is achieved through consolidation and subsequent acquisitions. While the initiative is broadly successful, the group experiences many operational challenges.
