Manufacturing Trends Across Four Sub-Sectors
A trend affecting powertrain-parts demand doesn't necessarily reach aftermarket parts the same way. AICMA's aim is to read supply-chain and demand trends across all four sub-sectors, so a member sees how a shift elsewhere might reach its own.
01
Cross-Sub-Sector Trend Reading
Reading trends against all four of AICMA's sub-sectors, not one in isolation.

02
OEM vs. Aftermarket Dynamics
Distinguishing OEM sourcing trends from aftermarket demand, since they move differently.

03
Regional Relevance
Linking global trends to AICMA's own operating regions — Qatar, Kuwait, Türkiye, Egypt, Bulgaria, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Romania, Greece, and Hungary.
