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 global trends against all four of AICMA's own sub-sectors together, rather than looking at any single one of them in isolation from the rest.
02
OEM vs. Aftermarket Dynamics
Distinguishing OEM sourcing trends from aftermarket demand, since the two move differently and run on quite different cycles altogether.
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.
