Wholesale-Motor Vehicle Supplies & New Parts

The Wholesale–Motor Vehicle Supplies & New Parts industry (SIC 5013) links manufacturers with dealerships, independent repair shops, fleet operators, collision centers, and online retailers, supplying everything from OEM and aftermarket mechanical components to tires, batteries, lubricants, electronics, telematics modules, and ADAS/EV parts. Distributors compete on product breadth, fill rates, and logistics, increasingly layering in e-commerce platforms, private-label offerings, and data-driven inventory management. Key risks include exposure to cyclical vehicle sales, OEM pricing and sourcing power, working-capital strains from deep inventories, and safety and environmental regulations tied to NHTSA, EPA, and evolving “right-to-repair” rules. In 2024–2025, the sector is being reshaped by EV and hybrid adoption, consolidation among national and regional distributors, nearshoring of critical components, and growing demand for sustainability-compliant products and packaging. Investors monitor margin resilience, technology investments, and acquisition pipelines; to track how leading wholesalers are navigating these dynamics, view their latest live SEC filings directly on EarningsFeed.
