The automotive parts market in Kenya is a promising sector that offers opportunities for growth, innovation and employment. According to PwC, the automotive industry in Kenya is primarily involved in the retail and distribution of motor vehicles, as well as after-sales support in servicing and spare parts sales. The market is dominated by imported second-hand vehicles creating an increased demand for quality and affordable spare parts and a demand for capital goods such as machinery, lubricants, spare parts, ball bearings and other automotive mechanical goods and accessories.

The government of Kenya supports the automotive industry by implementing various policies and incentives to promote local manufacturing and assembly of vehicles, and to reduce the importation of used vehicles. The government has identified the automotive and auto parts industry as a major economic driver in the Kenya National Industrialisation Policy Framework, and outlining five policy statements to build up the industry.
