Welcome to the 28th edition of the Auto Care Factbook. The Auto Care Association is pleased to again provide this costeffective and environmentally responsible publication in digital format.
This edition of the Auto Care Factbook highlights many upward trends we are seeing in today's $392B auto care industry:
increasing consumer confidence and spending (even with higher gas prices); CAGR sustaining its upswing; rising average
hourly wages; and more than 50,000 new industry jobs added in the past year. At the same time, our members are paying
close attention to the impacts of telematics and access to data, the average age of vehicles and the health of the economy in
general. Your Factbook takes a deep dive into these topics and many more, providing all of the information you need to keep
thriving in our dynamic aftermarket -- which is projected to be a $433B industry in 2021.
