I assume you meant commercial repair of consumer goods. If so, my feeling
is Yes, but to a limited degree. I doubt that repair shops will see much
more than a 5% increase in actual volume (those customers who opt to
actually have it repaired). There will be more inquiries. The low-end
stuff will remain in the throw-away category and the high-end stuff is
mostly already covered by extended warranties (which most consumers opt
for).



There is a price breakpoint , that varies from owner to owner (company or
individual). Cost to repair versus cost to replace, so a ratio.
I would assume that breakpoint ratio moves towards favouring repair in
resession.
Also assuming some degree of essentiality that would also vary with degree
of resession.
