"Market Intelligence for High-Geared Performance"
Automotive collision repair (ACR) involves realigning the paneling as well as the structure of light-duty and heavy goods vehicles after a collision. It is a complex process as the repaired vehicle has to adhere to the stringent safety specifications and tolerances established by the vehicle manufacturer. The damaged sections are replaced or if the damage is minimal it is removed using a variety of tools. Various products are used in the repairing process such as spare parts, paints & coatings, and other refinishing tools.
Factors such as the surge in population growth across the globe, rise in disposable income, and exponential demand and sales of light-duty vehicles in emerging countries are attributed to an increase in vehicular traffic. This is leading to a surge in incidents of automotive collisions. These factors will drive the growth of the market. Furthermore, expansion of the e-commerce market with instant availability of genuine OEM spare parts will also positively affect the automotive collision repair market. However, the high cost involved with vehicle repair at specialist repair centres even for minor damages will restrain the growth of the market.
