Most revenue generated by the Motor Vehicle Body, Paint and Interior Repair industry derives from repairs performed on motor vehicles damaged in accidents. The industry also includes businesses that provide elective services, like spray painting and car washing. Despite more motor vehicle accidents, panelbeaters have struggled to maintain repair throughput because of the increased complexity of vehicles and a tight labour market, decreasing revenue. The COVID-19 pandemic caused revenue to plummet over the three years through 2021-22, as restrictions on movement and gatherings sharply reduced motor vehicle activity. Overall, industry revenue is expected to drop at an annualised 1.8% over the five years through 2024-25, to $9.1 billion. This trend includes an anticipated decline of 1.7% in 2024-25, as revenue is impacted by increased new car sales and difficult economic conditions, which are limiting elective repairs and services.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 1.8 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $9.1bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
