Automotive Alternator Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Automotive Alternator Industry Overview

The market for automotive alternators is dominated by four companies, namely Denso, Valeo, Mitsubishi Electric, and Hitachi Automotive. Collectively, these companies occupy nearly 80% of the market worldwide. Denso claims to be the market leader in alternators since 1988. The 'others' part of the market is fragmented with the presence of both local and global players.

The market is subject to intense competition, even in the aftermarket segment, where many small companies are coming up with similar offerings. E-tailing and e-commerce are also helping the aftermarket players register considerable sales.

The major players in the market have been involved in cases regarding parts cartels and price fixation to maintain their market shares in certain geographical locations, ensuring that other players do not occupy a considerable market share in those regions.
