Appliance Repair in the US - Industry Market Research Report

New Model: Global Supply Chain Disruptions Make Sourcing New Appliances Difficult, Supporting Industry Demand

When economic conditions are weak, consumers will choose DIY repairs. When the economy is strong, consumers weigh the decision to repair or replace more lightly, sometimes opting to replace. The appliance repairer must consider both of these possibilities when pricing. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, homeownership rates and weak consumer confidence led to weak performance overall. DIY was an option for cash-strapped consumers. Then COVID-19 shutdowns and increased unemployment changed home life in many ways. People were using their appliances more and for those unable to complete repairs, individuals needed repair services. COVID-19 supply chain disruptions hindered the availability of both new appliances and parts. COVID-19 recovery was small and mixed, and due in part to the economic volatility, revenue has been declining at a CAGR of 1.3% over the past five years, and is expected to total $6.3 billion in 2023, when revenue will jump an estimated 0.5%.
