Auto mechanics provide mechanical and electrical repair and maintenance for a variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks and vans. Through the current period, the industry has faced volatile conditions and poor performance. Falling consumer confidence and lockdown restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic limited travel demand, translating into fewer vehicle kilometres traveled, and encouraging buyers to postpone nonessential repair and maintenance services. On the contrary, rebounding economic conditions following the pandemic, enabled sporadic growth. Overall, revenue declined at an expected CAGR of 0.7% to $11.6 billion through the current period, despite a 4.2% jump in 2024, where profit reached 7.3%.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 0.7 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $11.6bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
