CAEN Division 952: Repair and Maintenance of Consumer Electronics

CAEN Division 952, dedicated to the repair and maintenance of consumer electronics, represents a relevant sector in Romania's economy, supported by the constant demand for maintenance of electronic equipment in households. Although it does not benefit from direct subsidies, this field is essential for extending product lifespan and reducing electronic waste, contributing to a circular economy. In Romania, the electronics repair market is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, often family-run, facing challenges related to access to original spare parts and fluctuating component prices. Nevertheless, the consumer trend to repair and refurbish devices rather than replace them offers significant opportunities. Entrepreneurs in this field must invest in continuous training to keep up with rapid technological advancements—from smart TVs to gaming consoles—and efficiently manage relationships with suppliers and customers. Additionally, competition from large retail chains offering repair services can be challenging, but specialization and service customization remain strengths for local businesses.
