The forecast for regular employees in the automobile maintenance services sector in Japan shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The number of employees is expected to decrease from 163.1 thousand in 2024 to 161.96 thousand in 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a steady but slight reduction each year, with an overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a minor negative trend. Over the last two years, the year-on-year variation reflects a consistent decrease in workforce by less than 1% annually.
Trends to watch for in the future include the potential impact of automation and technological advancements on labor requirements, as well as demographic shifts in the workforce. Additionally, evolving consumer preferences, particularly the adoption of electric vehicles and potential regulatory changes, may further influence employment in this sector.
