Trends and Insights
Deteriorating road conditions, especially in Victoria, are fuelling demand
- Australia's roads have significantly deteriorated in recent years, with the 2024 National State of the Assets (NSoA) report by the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) revealing that $23.1 billion of local roads are in poor condition. These worsening road conditions have accelerated tyre wear, leading to a marked increase in demand for tyre replacements across Australia. The situation is particularly dire in Victoria, where a 45.0% reduction in road maintenance funding since 2020 has caused significant road degradation, exacerbated by extreme weather events.
