The automotive collision repair market is set to eclipse $280 billion by 2024, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc.
Refinishing
The report found that due to an increased demand for rebuilding, refinishing and reprocessing of automobile components after accidents, the trend is positively affecting the automotive collision repair market size. It adds that continuous technological advancements in ancillary products coupled with supplementary services such as painting, denting and body maintenance services will further augment the industry demand.
Finishing compounds are expected to exhibit growth rate of approximately 4 percent during the projected timeline. Paints and coatings are the commonly used products in the auto refinishing industry. This wide acceptance can be credited to rising road congestion that poses the risk of minor dents, scratches and small crashes resulting in restoring of the vehicle to its original color.
