The B2C segment is projected to account for the largest market share, by end-use

Based on end-use, the global automotive e-commerce market is divided into B2B and B2C. In 2022, the B2C segment accounted for the largest market share in the global automotive e-commerce market. The business-to-consumer (B2C) segment generates the highest revenue due to factors such as easy access to purchasing options, better prices, and convenience. Additionally, in developed areas such as North America and Europe, shifting client preference toward DIY for replacement and maintenance activity assists sales generation.

Further, growing economies and disposable income have boosted consumer participation in e-commerce car alternative component buying activities. There has also been an increase in online automobile transactions, which has resulted in increased vehicle ownership and, as a result, increased the demand for replacement parts. This is providing a boost to the market's growth.

Asia Pacific accounts for the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Based on the regions, the global automotive e-commerce market has been segmented across North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2022, Europe had the largest global automotive e-commerce market share. A well-defined supply chain management in countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden guarantees effective e-commerce activities by implementing growth avenues for the automotive e-commerce market.

Also, increasing smartphone and internet penetration in the region offers substantial multi-channel and e-commerce shopping. The approach of direct selling to customers through online channels is assumed to create long-term positive impacts on the distribution channel. E-commerce shoppers in Europe usually favor online payment services. Twenty European nations proposed incentives as bonus payments or premiums to electric vehicle buyers. Six European countries, including Malta, Cyprus, Denmark, Bulgaria, Belgium, and Latvia allowed tax exemptions or reductions on electric cars, although they do not provide incentives. These factors thereby create lucrative opportunities for market growth.
