Motor Vehicle Engine and Parts Repair and Maintenance in New Zealand industry analysis

Car repairers performed poorly in recent years, as dropping consumer sentiment stifled industry expansion. Revenue is expected to slip by an annualised 0.5% over the five years through 2023-24, to $3.1 billion. This trend includes an estimated hike of 0.2% in the current year, thanks to a rise in disposable income. Steady growth in the number of cars in use is expanding the pool of potential customers for engine and parts repairers. The increasing average age of the vehicle fleet has benefited the industry, as older vehicles tend to require more frequent and in-depth repairs and servicing.

Trends and Insights

  • An expanding car fleet is raising the need for repairs. With more vehicles on the road, the potential pool of customers widens.
  • Servicing cars is key for repair shops. High car usage and a rising average vehicle age in New Zealand have raised the need for servicing, sustaining revenue for repair shops.
  • Auckland and Canterbury are the most populous regions with the most cars per household. More repair shops are located in Auckland and Canterbury because of high car ownership numbers and the prevalence of commercial taxi operators.
  • Most repair shops are family-owned operations. Repair shops are highly fragmented, and the industry primarily consists of small independent repairers that own and operate a single establishment.
