Commercial Vehicle Garages in Germany Industry Data and Analysis

MW
Maximilian Weikert
Analyst Frankfurt, Germany July 2025

The commercial vehicle workshop sector has seen slight growth in the last five years. Between 2020 and 2025, industry turnover increased by an average of 1.5% per year. The severe economic slump as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and the recent weak economic development of the German economy reduced demand for workshop services. In addition, price increases for raw materials and automotive parts and accessories increased the cost of materials and also had a negative impact on profits in some cases.In the current year, IBISWorld expects an increase in production volume in Germany. This will have a positive effect on the mileage of trucks and tractor units and thus on the demand for maintenance and repair work on these vehicles. The anticipated improvement in the consumer climate also points to an increase in mileage, as does the rise in turnover in road freight transport. In contrast, the shift in freight transport to rail is likely to have a negative impact on industry turnover. In the current year, turnover is therefore expected to increase by 0.5% to 5.1 billion euros.For the next five years, IBISWorld expects the industry's turnover to grow slightly by an average of 1.2% per year, which means that industry turnover is likely to reach 5.4 billion euros in 2030. In the future, workshops will increasingly have to adapt to technological innovations, such as the increasing digitalisation of vehicles. In order to stay up to date with the latest technology, specialists will have to take part in training and further education programmes. Although the proportion of electric vehicles among motor vehicles with a gross weight of over 3.5 tonnes is still very low, workshop staff should be appropriately qualified, as work on electric vehicles is only permitted for specialists with special training.
