II. Vehicle Age Structure and Out-of-Warranty Vehicles

Belarus's average vehicle age is relatively high. Belarus has limited new vehicle supply, and the market is mainly imported used vehicles and inventory vehicles, with relatively high average vehicle age and a large scale of out-of-warranty vehicles.

There are three reasons for rising vehicle age. First, new vehicle replacement has slowed due to economic fluctuations. Second, after Western brands withdrew, some owners extended their vehicle replacement cycles. Third, the repair and parts supply system has been restructured, extending vehicle service cycles.

The large scale of out-of-warranty vehicles directly drives aftermarket demand for wear parts, general parts and repair parts. Demand for brake pads, brake discs, filters, clutches, spark plugs, belts, shock absorbers, suspension arms and ball joints remains stable.
