“Despite the uncertainty felt across our industry and the markets over the past year due to tariffs and trade, this edition of the Auto Care Factbook reinforces positive growth in today’s $405 billion auto care industry,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO of the Auto Care Association. “Consumer confidence, spending and hourly wages continue to increase, and more than 41,500 industry jobs were created last year. Our association is committed to delivering resources and data to our members. The Factbook is the bedrock of that information, and we continue to evolve our resources to best serve our members’ needs.”

The Auto Care Factbook takes a deep dive into these topics and many more, providing all of the information needed to keep thriving in the dynamic aftermarket – which is projected to be a $448 billion industry in 2022.
