The automotive paintless dent removal tools market size is forecast to increase by USD 447.3 million at a CAGR of 5.56% between 2023 and 2028. The market is experiencing significant growth, driven by several key factors. One of the primary growth drivers is the low cost of PDR tools compared to traditional body shop repairs. This cost-effective solution appeals to both consumers and automotive service providers. Additionally, power tools and service players are incorporating strategic business growth initiatives, such as expanding their product offerings and enhancing their service capabilities. However, it is essential to acknowledge the limitations of PDR tools, as they may not be effective in certain cases, such as extensive dents or creases that require body filler or paint touch-ups.
