Car Wash Industry Trends
- There are approximately 29,500 tunnel washes in the United States and 90% of these washes are owned as a small business, leaving only 10% owned by a national, corporate brand. This means that in the automated tunnel wash space (ability to wash 50-100 cars/hr) only 3,000 washes and a handful of corporate owners have positioned themselves as competition in terms of growth and brand strategy.
- Industry experts not only believe there is room for consolidation, but that the national market is short of car wash locations by 20,000 washes.
- In the last 15 years, there has been a 69% increase in car owners using a car wash facility rather than wash themselves and there are an estimated 8 million vehicles washed at car washes daily.
- Financial institutions and investors have taken note of the upside of this business, particularly the high profit margins and that it is ecommerce resistant.
- The development of a subscription model through monthly membership has greatly reduced the wild swings of revenue that once impacted the industry and those that can master membership sales, engagement and retention will come out on top in terms of profitability and longevity.
- Consumer trends: Increasingly, car wash customers are as focused on quality and value as they are speed of service. There is a trend toward convenience and speed through RFID readers, the membership perk of a “fast pass” in which staff interaction is minimized and entrance and wash selection is automated. Free vacuums and detail tools at the end of the tunnel allow customers to complete interior cleaning as needed without impeding the opportunity to go in and out quickly if desire.
