Global Automotive Collision Repair Market By Product (Spare Parts, Consumables and Paints & Coatings), By Service Channel (OE, do-it-yourself (DIY), and DIFM), By Vehicle Type (Light-duty Vehicle and Heavy-duty Vehicle), By Regional Outlook, Industry Analysis Report and Forecast, 2021 - 2027

The Global Automotive Collision Repair Market size is expected to reach $208.3 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 1.9% CAGR during the forecast period.

The restoration and replacement processes done on automobiles damaged in an accident are referred to as automotive collision repair. It includes denting, painting, restoring, repairing, replacing, and refinishing structural or cosmetic portions of vehicles, such as glass windows, bumpers, and car doors. Paints, scratch-resistant coatings, replacement components, and other refinishing materials are commonly utilized in car collision repair.

An increase in automotive traffic is ascribed to factors such as global population expansion, rising disposable income, and growing sales of light-duty automobiles in emerging markets. This is causing an increase in the number of car accidents.

COVID-19 Impact

The automotive and transportation sectors are among the most vulnerable to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and are presently experiencing exceptional uncertainty. COVID-19 is projected to have a substantial influence on the automotive supply chain and sales trends. The industry's concern has shifted from supply chain challenges from China to a general decline in sales for aftermarket repair supplies. With the suspension of all non-essential services, sales for commercial automotive components experienced adverse impacts.

In addition, changes in consumer purchasing behavior as a result of the due uncertainty caused by the pandemic may have major ramifications for the industry's near-term growth. Meanwhile, market players have already felt the effects of a liquidity deficit and a cash constraint, and this shortfall is anticipated to worsen in the coming months.

Market Growth Factors:

Constant technological advancements

In the last few years, the number of traffic accidents and fatalities has increased drastically. One of the major factors contributing to this number is the adoption of the drink and drive concept. In addition, tremendous expansion in the automotive industry would help the customers to avail these services more readily. The increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles (H/EVs), as well as conventional automobiles, has increased customer demand for maintenance services. In accordance with this, automotive stores are increasingly selling do-it-yourself (DIY) kits for consumers that include sophisticated and customized replacement parts.

Passenger vehicles are set to boost the market growth

Mainly, the automotive collision repair services market is divided into three vehicle types: passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. On a worldwide basis, the percentage for passenger cars holds a significant number of all automobiles. Passenger cars, which have a bigger fleet, are more likely to be involved in crashes than commercial vehicles. Hence, this factor would help many service providers to provide services by considering the needs and requirements of different types of passenger vehicles.

Market Restraining Factors:

Absence of trained professionals

Both in developing as well as developed countries, there is less availability of trained individuals who can perform collision repair services effectively. This shortage would motivate people to prefer repairing services from the locally available mechanics. Moreover, these services are associated with high cost, hence many people tend to sell their cars after a major collision or accident. The cost of hiring a repair specialist is the single most important factor that deters individuals from doing so. A damaged car might cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars to repair.

Product Outlook

Based on Product, the market is segmented into Spare Parts, Consumables and Paints & Coatings. The Paints & Coatings segment procured a promising revenue share. This is because environmental coatings are becoming more popular as a result of the growing environmental issues associated with the usage of harmful synthetic coatings and refinishing chemicals.

Service Channel Outlook

Based on Service Channel, the market is segmented into OE, do-it-yourself (DIY), and DIFM. The DIY segment held a significant revenue share of the market in 2020. Many companies have begun to produce entire kits that give customers DIY options.

Vehicle type Outlook

Based on Vehicle Type, the market is segmented into Light-duty Vehicle and Heavy-duty Vehicle. The Heavy-duty Vehicle garnered a significant revenue share. Commercial and multi-axle vehicles like trucks and buses are included in the heavy-duty vehicle class. Heavy-duty trucks are expected to be employed for bulk goods delivery inside any country or area.

Regional Outlook

Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific region procured the significant revenue share. The growing number of vehicle purchases is fuelling a considerable expansion in the region's automotive collision repair market. An increase in vehicular damage as a result of low driving restrictions in the Asia Pacific area is fuelling regional market expansion.
