Despite changes in driving patterns or economic fluctuations, demand for critical and non-discretionary auto maintenance tasks, including oil changes, remains consistent. For example, revenue jumped 2.3% in 2020 despite poor economic conditions and major lockdown restrictions leading to less driving activity. Conversely, pent-up demand for travel supported growth among oil change services, particularly as government restrictions lifted through 2021 and 2022. However, workforce shortages, rising wage growth and increased competition have threatened profit growth. Revenue has climbed at an expected CAGR of 5.5% to $12.0 billion through the current period, including a 2.3% jump in 2024, where profit will reach 15.3%.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 2.4 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $10.8bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
