The repair and maintenance market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the recent years, the market size for repair and maintenance has expanded remarkably. It is predicted to rise from $1587.84 billion in 2024 to $1725.32 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
Factors contributing to this historical growth involve equipment aging, economic circumstances, regulatory adherence, preventive upkeep, environmental issues, and investment in infrastructure.
The repair and maintenance market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for repair and maintenance is forecasted to witness robust expansion in the forthcoming years. The market is projected to surge to a valuation of $2341.56 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%.
This growth during the projection period is attributed to the emphasis on asset management, compliance with health and safety standards, energy efficiency, circular economy strategies, and supply chain resilience. The prediction period will see major trends like the adoption of predictive maintenance technologies, evolution of digital work order management, leveraging augmented reality (AR) for training, partnerships with OEMs, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence.
The heightened awareness of sustainability and reducing waste is poised to increase the repair and maintenance of various devices, equipment, or vehicles, which will fuel the market for these services. Discarded devices, equipment or vehicles and their parts contribute to waste issues in both developed and developing nations globally. These wastes can detrimentally impact human health and the environment due to the presence of potentially harmful substances. For instance, a 2022 study by GWI, a UK based audience research company, revealed that 44% of consumers worldwide make conscious attempts to recycle their electronics. Further research indicates that approximately 53% of younger consumers recognize the significance of recycling and claim that they actively advocate it in their everyday lives. People are increasingly worried about the environmental pollution caused by their discarded items, and as such, attempt to repair or reuse them. Therefore, heightened sustainability awareness is predicted to stimulate market growth.

A growing number of repair and maintenance businesses in Europe, particularly in the UK, are opting for zero-hours contracts in response to unpredictable consumer demand. These contracts, also known as casual contracts, allow businesses to hire staff without providing a work assurance. With minimal notice prior to shifts, employees are summoned for 'piece work' or 'contract work' and typically do not receive the usual employee benefits such as leaves. The popularity of these contracts is on the rise due to the flexibility they provide both employers and employees with. For example, data from the Office for National Statistics, an independent producer of official statistics in the UK, showed that in 2022, one million workers were on zero-hours contracts, making up about 3.2% of the total workforce. It is therefore plausible to assume a significant portion of these workers are likely to come from the repair and maintenance sector, a field that frequently employs freelancers on a non-contractual basis.
