PMPA Business Trends January 2025
The January 2025 Report on Business Trends comes in at 138. Despite a rocky start, the sentiment remains significantly positive pointing to our bright future. January sales are down when compared to the last five years but are up when compared to the long-term January average. Several outside factors are weighing on sales for our shops but a solid bounce from December shows we are on the recovery from our end of year correction. Remember 2024 was our third best sales year ever recorded even with the dip, to close out the year. While there are challenges ahead, sentiment for sales and profitability are riding high. This survey saw the lowest number of respondents expecting declining profits in a survey since before 2021. Good things are to come.
