In addition, the specificity of electric vehicle spare parts is a key factor driving up maintenance costs. Owing to the increased use of original spare parts in electric vehicles and the low maintenance rate of those spare parts, maintenance stores often need to be replaced rather than repaired directly, which has led to a significant increase in spare parts costs. The report indicated that 89. 29 per cent of the damaged parts of electric vehicles required the direct replacement of their original spare parts, compared with 65. 14 per cent for fuel trucks。
On the other hand, the labour cost of maintenance of electric cars cannot be ignored. Since electric vehicles involve high-risk components such as high-pressure batteries, maintenance personnel are required to comply strictly with safety protocols, such as power outages and the removal of batteries, which significantly increase maintenance hours. The data show that the average working hours for electric vehicle maintenance were 3. 04 hours, much higher than the 1. 66 hours for fuel trucks。
Composition of automobile maintenance industry
The maintenance of electric vehicles is no longer a simple mechanical repair, but involves a number of high-technology areas, such as battery management, electrical power and electronics, and smart grids. This requires a higher level of professionalism and skills on the part of maintenance technicians to deal with the failure of complex components such as high-pressure batteries and electric controllers。
According to data from the f6 grand institute of automotive science and technology, in terms of the age distribution of automotive mechanics, there was a trend towards a larger male ratio between 2020 and 2022; in terms of age composition, the number of technicians under 26 years of age is the highest, with an increasing trend, and the rejuvenation of the workforce is more pronounced; in terms of the number of technicians with three to five years of service, the highest is in terms of the number of technicians with three to five years of service, followed by those with more than five years of service。
Progressive increase in internet vehicle maintenance penetration
China's consumers are the world's leading consumers of heavy internet networks. At present, china's internet retail penetration is higher than that of some living groups, with lower rates of retail penetration in high-value categories (real estate, automobiles, jewellery, etc.) and in service goods. With the rapid rise of the china o2o business model, the penetration rate on the post-market maintenance line has gradually increased. Deloitte and touche data show a 5 per cent penetration rate for internet vehicle maintenance in 2018. According to preliminary calculations, the rate of penetration in the maintenance of internet automobiles was around 11 per cent in 2022。
Forecast of the size of the chinese automobile maintenance industry market
According to mckenzie, the future global growth in car sales will slow down as a result of the transformational upgrading of travel services such as shared cars and overline cars. Subject to the impact of the size of automobile production and distribution on vehicle holdings, the forward forecast is that the future market size of the automobile maintenance sector will slow down, with the chinese automobile maintenance industry growing at a 5 per cent annual compound rate in 2023-2028, with a market size expected to exceed 2 trillion yuan in 2028。
Chief of the comfort conservation branch of the chinese association for automotives by 2024, the chinese post-car market is projected to reach 2. 5 trillion people, or 55 per cent of the global automotive chain, and the spread of smart driving and electric cars will offer opportunities for growth。
The automobile maintenance industry has great prospects, and the demand for vehicle repair and maintenance is growing as vehicle holdings increase. At the same time, the demand for specialized, high-technology vehicle maintenance services is increasing as vehicle technology is continuously upgraded and upgraded。
