Truck Repair in the US industry analysis

Truck repair shops provide aftermarket services and products for medium- and heavy-duty trucks. The industry's health is fundamentally tied to broader economic performance, as rising business activity boosts demand for trucking and transportation services. Companies heavily struggled during the pandemic as lockdown restrictions cut business and trade activity. However, subsequent e-commerce growth alongside rebounding trade values has supported trucking activity, elevating demand for truck repairs. Even so, companies have faced notable supply chain disruptions following the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Higher steel and oil prices have made most truck parts more expensive, pressuring profit. Overall, revenue has swelled at an expected CAGR of 2.4% to $18.4 billion through the current period, including a 0.9% jump in 2024, where profit will reach 6.7%. 

Trends and Insights

  • Truck repair shops rely on robust economic indicators. Strong growth in the freight transportation services index creates demand for truck repairs and encourages buyers to maintain larger trucking fleets.
  • Most truck repairs are essential, nondiscretionary services. Buyers must regularly service trucks, but some buyers have increasingly preferred in-house repair services for minor issues.
  • The establishment spread of truck repair shops mirrors trucking activity. Regions with higher trade activity often have more truck repair shops.
  • Small, independent truck repair shops dominate the industry. Most companies have struggled to expand beyond regional markets, contributing to the industry's high fragmentation.
