The rising sales of vehicles across the globe, the implementation of stringent government regulations, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Automotive repair and service refer to maintaining, replacing, and fixing vehicle parts to improve their functioning and extend service life. It includes tune-ups, lubrications, fluid changes, minor adjustments, engine overhauling, bodywork, painting, and polishing. Automotive repair and service involve multiple steps, including vehicle check-in, inspection and diagnosis, estimate building, customer authorization, and follow-ups. These steps and services are undertaken by automotive owners to increase a vehicle's lifespan, detect and solve minor issues, improve on-road performance, and ensure fuel efficiency. Regular automotive repair and service also enhances vehicle safety, increases resale value, prevents onboard equipment failure, and improves the driving experience, precision, and reliability of the vehicle. As a result, they are widely carried out for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCVs), heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), and two-wheelers.

Automotive Repair and Service Market Trends:

The increasing sales of vehicles across the globe is one of the primary factors driving the market growth. Automotive repair and service are integral to a vehicle's proper functioning as it involves engine tuning, brake inspection, lubrication, and changing of tires, air filters, wear and tear parts, cabin filters, starters, alternators, transmission fluids, engine oil, and coolants, which enhances driver safety, maintains vehicle value, and lowers operating costs. In addition to this, several automotive manufacturers are offering post-sale services that involve maintenance, repair, and authentic spare parts to expand their loyal customer base and increase brand value, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the implementation of stringent government regulations towards replacing and upgrading vehicle components to ensure better on-road safety and lower emissions levels is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate detailed vehicle diagnosis reports, detect and identify damaged parts, conduct inspections, draw up pre-estimates for customers, and suggest appropriate repair operations is positively influencing the market growth. Apart from this, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) to automate damage assessment, predict future maintenance, provide dynamic visibility into repair, and estimate completion time is favoring the market growth. Moreover, the increasing number of aging vehicles that require frequent maintenance and part replacement to operate effectively is propelling market growth. Other factors, including the rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), emerging trends of vehicle customization, increasing demand for pre-owned cars, and rising investment in the research and development (R&D) of innovative repair and service solutions, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
