The Auto Care Association released the 2022 Auto Care Factbook and the 2022 Auto Care Factbook & Lang Annual. The association says the annual reports include insight for aftermarket businesses to make informed, data-based decisions for the future. This edition of the Auto Care Factbook report provides new data and insight on how the auto care industry fared during the COVID-19 pandemic, emerging consumer and industry trends, international market performance and more.
The report says that while the total United States auto care industry size took a hit in 2020, the industry fared better than forecasted and is now expected to be a $477 billion industry by 2024. Industry shifts during COVID-19 have presented new opportunities for the aftermarket, including increased e-commerce growth, increased delays in vehicle maintenance; an increase in the average age of vehicles in operation, an increase in vehicle miles driven nearing pre-pandemic levels.
