Good news for repair shop owners: the auto parts logistics sector is booming, driven by growing maintenance needs and the arrival of new technologies.

A report from Custom Market Insights projects that the global market will grow from US$312 billion in 2025 to over US$663 billion by 2034. In short, parts will move faster, be better tracked, and more readily available. AI, smart inventory management, and online sales are already reshaping supply chains.

For local garages, this means better inventory control, shorter delivery times, and new tools to boost profitability. However, rising competition from low-cost suppliers remains a challenge to watch. In 2024, reverse logistics — the return and reuse of parts — generated C$15 billion in Canada alone. It’s a growing niche that well-organized shops can turn into a competitive edge.
