Trends and Insights
Heightened competition from fragmentation is stifling revenue growth
- Revenue growth in the motor vehicle servicing industry has lagged behind the rapid expansion in enterprises, establishments and employees. Strong demand for vehicle repairs, servicing and specialised services has supported growth in the number of motor vehicle repair enterprises, by an annualised 3.6% over the past five years, highlighting the industry's broader growth. However, this expansion has intensified competition, particularly among smaller workshops, which has limited revenue growth for individual businesses.
