Aftermarket innovation in 2026 faces three critical blind spots: workforce training lagging behind rapid tech adoption, supply chain visibility gaps impacting profitability, and misinterpretation of EV battery health undermining consumer trust. These challenges, identified through expert insights at AAPEX and SEMA 2025, demand proactive strategies to ensure sustainable growth and competitiveness in an evolving automotive landscape. Expert insights quoted include Fabio Mazzon from Texa (AAPEX), Andrew Yokiel from Lynnco (SEMA), and Lance Losinski from Midtronics (AAPEX), all speaking at AAPEX and SEMA 2025 in Las Vegas.
