Retail Wholesale OEM

The automotive market consists of three core segments. The retail segment focuses on the direct sale of new and used vehicles, parts, and services to consumers through dealers and shops. The wholesale segment serves resellers, such as dealers and garages, through large-scale distribution of vehicles and parts without direct sales to end users. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) segment involves the production of vehicles and original parts, which are supplied to both the industry and the aftermarket for maintenance and repair.
