The Restoration Industry in 2023: What to Expect and What Actions to Take
The restoration industry in the USA is a multi-billion dollar a year business. It is made up of restoration companies that provide services to restore residential and commercial properties that have been damaged by water, fire, smoke or other disasters. The restoration industry is a vital part of the American economy and employs thousands of people across the country.
The industry has grown significantly over the past decade as more and more homeowners and businesses are recognizing the importance of having a plan in place in case of a disaster. Restoration companies have the expertise and experience to quickly and efficiently restore a property to its pre-disaster condition.
So, what does that mean for business owners? It means that there is a lot of money to be made in the restoration industry, but it also means that competition will be fierce. If you want to stay ahead of the curve, you need to start preparing for 2023 now.
In this article, we will discuss what you can expect from the restoration industry in the coming years and what actions to take in order to stay ahead of the competition.
How Much is the Industry Worth?
Last year, the restoration industry was worth an estimated $210 billion. This figure is projected to continue to grow at a steady rate in the years to come.
Factors Affecting The Restoration Industry:
An increase in natural disasters
As the climate continues to change, we can (unfortunately) expect to see an increase in the number of natural disasters. This will create a need for more restoration services, as well as an opportunity for businesses to provide relief and assistance to those affected.
An aging population
As the baby boomer generation continues to age, we can expect to see an increase in the need for restoration services, since older homes are more susceptible to water damage, mold growth and other issues that require professional intervention.
A growing awareness of indoor air quality
Poor air quality can lead to a variety of health problems. Buildings and homes that are damaged by air pollution and/or mold growth need to be cleaned or repaired in order to ensure that they are safe for occupancy. As more people become aware of the importance of indoor air quality, we can expect to see an increase in the demand for restoration services.
2023 Restoration Industry Trends
There has also been some uptick in certain trends within the restoration industry. Be aware of them to stay ahead of the competition.

Offer do-it-yourself products
With the advent of the internet, more individuals are turning to DIY methods for their house repairs. Businesses that can supply simple solutions and services will have a lot of demand.
Green restoration
As more people become aware of the importance of environmental conservation, we can expect to see an increase in the demand for green restoration services. This trend is already beginning to emerge, and businesses that are able to offer green restoration services will be at a competitive advantage.
Use social media
Social media is a powerful marketing tool that can help you attract new customers and grow your business. Restoration businesses that use social media effectively will be able to reach a larger audience and generate more leads.
Offer mobile services
As people become increasingly reliant on their mobile devices, they will start to demand mobile services. Restoration businesses that are able to offer mobile services will be in high demand.

As the competition in the restoration industry grows, it is important to make sure that your business stands out from the crowd. Marketing and advertising always stand at the forefront of business growth.
Expand your services
