Car Body Shops in the US

While the recovering economy will benefit many automotive industries, car body shops will not far as well. Consumers will prefer to buy new cars rather than have their older cars repaired. Furthermore, manufacturers are introducing safety technologies into new cars, which will reduce collisions, something that this industry depends on for work. However, an increase in the number of cars on the road will increase the likelihood of accidents.

This industry provides repair and customization work to the interior and body of passenger cars, trucks, vans and trailers. Some industry firms specialize in certain auto repairs; for example, paint shops specialize in post-collision paint jobs, while automotive glass shops replace, repair and tint windows. Restoration shops, which typically represent a niche market, restore classic and antique cars.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
