Session: The Future of the Aftermarket

The automotive industry is changing faster than at any point in its history—and the aftermarket sits right at the center of that disruption. At the 2026 ABPA Conference, Steve Greenfield will look into the crystal ball to forecast what the next few years hold for the automotive ecosystem and, more importantly, what those changes mean for the aftermarket.

With more than 25 years in automotive technology, Steve brings a rare mix of strategic insight, deal-making experience, and hands-on industry knowledge. He has overseen more than $1 billion in automotive acquisitions, held senior leadership roles at TrueCar and AutoTrader, and played a key role in major industry acquisitions including Kelley Blue Book, vAuto, VinSolutions, and HomeNet Automotive. Earlier in his career, he helped drive Manheim’s global expansion through joint ventures in Dubai, Istanbul, and Beijing.

As the author of The Future of Automotive Retail and The Future of Mobility, and the voice behind the widely read weekly Intel Report, Steve is uniquely positioned to connect emerging technology trends, shifting consumer behavior, and investment signals to real-world implications for aftermarket suppliers, distributors, and repairers.
