After-sales jobs and career trends in the automotive industry

Trends in after-sales jobs

Accelerated digitization

With the proliferation of automated and connected vehicles, there is an increasing need for efficient repair and maintenance (vehicle inspection) of electronic components using diagnostic equipment and vehicle data. There is also a need for after-sales services to accommodate new business models such as car sharing and subscriptions as well as individual owners.

Changes in Vehicle Structure

Electrification & Digitalization While the number of accidents is expected to decrease due to the spread of automated driving and ADAS technology, the demand for physical repairs and parts is also expected to decrease. On the other hand, vehicle knowledge for electrified vehicles is becoming more important due to the widespread use of electrified vehicles. In addition, software-related technologies such as infotainment systems are becoming more complex, creating a need for technicians who are well versed in digital and IT technologies.

Support for internal combustion engine vehicles

Although we are in a transition period such as electrification, internal combustion engine vehicles are still the mainstream. Therefore, engineering-related services will continue to be in demand in after-sales service.

Lack of mechanics

The shortage of auto mechanics is evident in the Japanese market, and companies are required to reform their work styles, such as evaluation systems and wage increases, as well as improve working conditions, and the response to these trends varies from company to company. As the demand for mechanics increases, companies are required to provide a more attractive environment by taking proactive measures such as training mechanics, enhancing technical training, and clarifying career paths.
