We feel there are several factors that are likely to impact the global automotive repair and maintenance services market. Increase in the average age of vehicles has led to a rise in demand for repair and maintenance services. The poor quality of road infrastructure in the developing countries of Asia Pacific Excluding Japan (APEJ) is expected to drive the market for automotive repair and maintenance services in this region. The increase in vehicle parc in regions such as North America, Western Europe, and APEJ has also led to a growth in automotive aftermarket services. With the declining oil and gas prices, the average miles driven has increased. This is closely associated with the wear and tear of parts thus requiring maintenance.

One of the major trends likely to govern the global automotive repair and maintenance services market is remote diagnostics. This enables real-time monitoring of vehicle parameters to assess its performance against benchmarks. Another trend observed in the global automotive repair and maintenance services market is that the small locally owned shops are pairing up with fleet operators to gain more maintenance contracts.

Having said this, an increase in repairs and maintenance services costs and a careless attitude on the part of vehicle owners towards structured maintenance and services may pose challenges to the growth of this market in the near future.
