Truck Repair in Australia industry analysis

Truck repairers have capitalised on escalating downstream freight volumes and an expanding commercial vehicle fleet to record growth in recent years. Greater wear and tear on trucks and commercial vehicles travelling longer distances has supported demand for unscheduled maintenance services. As downstream technology has advanced and improved safety features have been integrated into vehicles, lower accident rates have constrained growth. But higher uptake of electronic components in newer trucks and commercial vehicles has expanded the specialised services offered by truck repairers, which tend to attract higher prices.
Revenue for truck repair is expected to climb at an annualised 1.6% over the five years through 2023-24, to total $6.4 billion. Australia's commercial vehicle fleet has grown in recent years, providing a greater pool of trucks for repairers to service. This surge in vehicle registrations has been driven by both owners holding onto trucks for longer and increased new sales, so demand for maintenance services on older vehicles has provided growth opportunities. The pandemic presented a significant challenge for truck repairers as restrictions on travel and an economic slowdown spurred lower demand for the transport of bulk goods, leading to a slump in revenue and profitability. Still, a surge in online shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic led to rising demand for repairs from operators of light goods vehicles. An uptick in the overall number of motor vehicles has been supporting revenue, causing anticipated growth of 0.4% in 2023-24.
Industry revenue is forecast to strengthen at an annualised 1.0% over the five years through 2028-29, to $6.8 billion. Freight volumes are set to return to growth as supply chains recover from the pandemic. The number of registered trucks and commercial vehicles is also on track to continue expanding. But as truck repairers continue to update their fleets, demand for repair work on older vehicles is going to become less frequent.

Trends and Insights

  • An expanding downstream vehicle fleet ensures consistent demand. As the number of registered commercial vehicles has trended upwards, so has demand for repair and maintenance services.
  • A spike in ecommerce activity has supported demand for repairs on smaller delivery trucks. In line with the shift towards online purchases, a growing proportion of repairs are being carried out on smaller trucks as registrations have increased.
  • Most truck repairers are located on the eastern seaboard of Australia. Repair services tend to operate close to road freight businesses, which are concentrated around Australia's eastern seaboard.
  • Location is a critical competitive factor for truck repairers. Competition is mainly localised, so repairers located in areas with greater downstream freight activity benefit from greater demand.
