The Italian market for the repair of household appliances and home and garden equipment is projected to experience a decline in gross investment from 2024 to 2028, starting at 3.8 million euros and decreasing to 2.3 million euros. Compared to 2023, where investments stood at 4.0 million euros, the forecast indicates a consistent negative growth trajectory.

Year-on-year decreases are evident, with 2024 and 2025 showing a noticeable decline. This trend suggests a reduced emphasis on repair as consumers potentially shift towards replacements or other alternatives.

Future trends to watch include:

The impact of technological advancements on appliance longevity and the need for repairs.
Possible changes in consumer attitudes towards sustainability, potentially reviving repair services.
Regulatory changes or incentives promoting appliance repair over replacement.
