Car body shops offer necessary and discretionary services for various vehicles, ranging from painting and window tinting to bodywork repairs. Body shops have contended with volatile conditions in recent years as the COVID-19 pandemic shook the world and Canadian economies. Although body shops were deemed essential businesses, demand dropped significantly as lockdowns kept people from driving. The prices of key commodities shot up in the wake of pandemic-related restrictions as supply lagged behind surging demand, driving up revenue as price parts rose but pressuring profit. As the economy has steadily recovered following the pandemic peak, Canadian car body shop revenue is forecast to rise at a CAGR of 0.8% to $8.6 billion, including an anticipated growth of 2.1% in 2024 alone.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 0.8 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $8.6bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
