Global Automotive Collision Repair Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Progression in Automobile Sector
The global automobile sector traces its origins back to the early 1900s, marked by the establishment of three major automakers: Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. These pioneers revolutionized the industry, exerting significant dominance over the market. Despite enduring challenges such as the great depression and various financial crises, the global automobile sector emerged as a powerhouse by the early 21st century. With the expansion of economies worldwide and the creation of numerous employment opportunities, per capita income surged, driving an increased demand for automobiles. The implementation of mass manufacturing techniques has efficiently met this escalating demand without undue strain. Further, automobiles were also used as personal or commercial vehicles and various technological advancements came along the way. Although various environmental concerns were raised against emission based fuels, but the growth did not stop as manufacturers found an alternate way to produce renewable based and energy efficient electric or solar-powered vehicles. This has helped with growth of digitalized services like on-demand vehicles and carpooling services like Uber, among others. With the advent of IoT and penetration of internet services, manufacturers have also introduced infotainment systems in-vehicles.
- Rising Adoption of Collision Insurance & Own Damage Insurance
Collision insurance is a type of insurance coverage under which the damages to a car are covered which results from a collision from any other object such as tree, fence or another car. It also covers the damages in case of hit-and-run accident or in a situation where the driver is not at fault. Although, this insurance covers the damages done to an object, a deductible amount needs to be decided before opting for the insurance, which needs to be paid be the insured before invoking the claim. It also does not cover damages caused to living beings.
Opportunities
- Delivery of Authentic and Genuine Spare Parts by Automobile OEM’S and OES’S to Collision Repair Centres
The average age of vehicles has rose to almost 12 years and it will further rise in the upcoming years, which has turned out to be a boon for aftermarket services industry. As these aged vehicles are more prone to collision, hence the collision repair outlets will require original components to repair their vehicles. This is slowly becoming a boon for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Original Equipment Suppliers (OES), who can capitalize on this demand and provide repair parts to maintain the sales of their particular product line-up. They are also bringing in innovation in their spare parts by integrating it with new technologies to keep up with consumer demands. Due to this, they have been able to shield themselves from any significant damage due to this pandemic. Hence, the growing number of genuine spare part deliveries by OEM’s and OES’s to collision repair centers will create an opportunity for growth of the global automotive collision repair market.
- Advancements in Automotive Repair Technology
Auto repair have continuously evolved since it began and even though traditional methods are used, the advent of digitalization has forced the after-market industry to switch towards a technological approach. Techniques have become more advanced and computers have become the most valuable tool for a technician. This not only increases the efficiency of the repair activities but also the productivity of team members. Application of 3D printing is one of the major advancements in this industry. This uses computers along with other components to create and entirely new custom design as per the user and this is extremely useful in cases where repair parts are hard to find or do not exist at all. Hence, various advancements in auto repair technology to keep up with changing consumer demands and to streamline their operations is a factor which will create an opportunity for the growth of the market.
Restraint/Challenge
- Increase in Number Safety Systems in Vehicle
Safety systems in vehicles are as old as the vehicle itself and it has come a long way since 1900’s. Although basic safety features such as seatbelts were introduced way back in 1940’s, other features like active & passive safety systems (airbags, electronic stability control and rear view cameras) were only introduced towards the end of 20th century. After that, technology came into the fold and automobile manufacturers started implementing it to improve their safety system. As they evolved, they came up with newer safety systems such as Head-Up Display (HUD), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Driver Monitoring System (DMS), Night Vision System (NVS) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD), among others. This push ultimately led to introduction of driverless or autonomous cars which had advanced navigation and sensor systems like Advanced Collision Warning (ACW) and Automated Emergency Braking (AEB) among others, which were integrated with intelligent algorithms in order to avoid any collisions. Hence, improvement in safety systems of vehicles along with development of autonomous cars is avoiding collisions and further insurance claims which are restraining the growth of the market.
