Online penetration for auto parts has trailed penetration rates of other consumer product categories for two reasons:
1)
Auto parts are traditionally bought by demographics that have lower internet access rates
We believe consumer buying will shift from offline to online as mobile device penetration increases for these demographics
2)
Shopping for auto parts online can be difficult for consumers
The complexity required to buy an auto part online increases consumers concerns it will not fit their vehicle
