The European Crash Repair Parts Market, 2011-2019; Market size, market forecast and recommendations

Summary

The passenger car crash repair parts market will continue to evolve over the next four years to 2019. Passenger safety regulations, manufacturers’ desire for improved crash durability and the use of new materials, including composite materials, in the desire to make vehicles lighter and improve fuel economy will all impact the cost of crash repair parts, and will also have implications on the channels that motorists choose to use for any crash repairs that are necessary. At the same time, the growing use of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in new vehicles is a contributory factor in reducing the accident rate, a trend which started with the fitment of ABS brakes to all new cars sold since 2007.
Repairers will need to focus on improving production models and potentially increasing scale to afford greater purchasing power, flexibility and the ability to handle new complex repairs. Repairers must keep pace with the variety of new materials and technologies gradually being incorporated into the vehicles on the road today. Tools such as integrated repair method data and the training and certification programs provided by numerous OEs will help here.
