Competitive Landscape for Advance Auto Parts, Inc.
Demand for auto parts is driven by new car sales, which are strongly affected by interest rates, and by the replacement market.

Small companies can compete successfully by focusing on a small number of products or some highly technical ones. The structure of the industry is complex, with most smaller companies (referred to as "tier 2" and "tier 3" suppliers) selling parts to larger suppliers (referred to as "tier 1" suppliers), who in turn sell component assemblies or modules to car and truck assemblers such as GM and Ford - collectively called OEMs. To read the full description, subscribe now.Top Advance Auto Parts, Inc.
