Australia Commercial Vehicle Market Trends:

Expansion in Mining and Construction Activities

The mining and construction industries are among the largest users of commercial vehicles in Australia, and their continued growth has led to a steady rise in demand for heavy-duty trucks and specialized utility vehicles. In 2022–23, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that the mining industry contributed USD 236 billion (AUD 352.4 billion) to the GDP, growing by 23.2% year-over-year, while the construction sector added USD 109 billion (AUD 163 billion), increasing by 14.8% (ABS). These sectors require extensive transport support for equipment, raw materials, and labor across remote and urban project sites. Vehicles such as dump trucks, cement mixers, and utility are essential for daily operations. With Australia continuing to invest in infrastructure and resource extraction, particularly in Western Australia and Queensland, the need for robust and specialized commercial vehicle fleets is projected to increase, which is further driving the Australia commercial vehicle market growth.

Growth in E-Commerce and Last-Mile Delivery Networks

The growth of e-commerce in Australia is reshaping logistics and accelerating the adoption of commercial delivery vehicles, particularly vans and light-duty trucks. As online shopping becomes more prevalent, businesses are investing in scalable last-mile delivery networks to meet rising customer expectations. According to Statista, e-commerce revenue in Australia is expected to reach USD 32.3 billion in 2024, up from USD 28 billion in 2023, representing a 15.5% annual increase. This expansion has directly influenced courier, express, and parcel (CEP) service providers to increase fleet size and improve delivery frequency. Companies like Australia Post and Woolworths are also trialing electric vans to reduce emissions in city routes. The growing volume of small, frequent shipments places continuous demand on light commercial vehicles, especially in dense urban areas where maneuverability, fuel efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are key considerations for fleet operators.

Increasing Freight Transport Demand

Freight transport is a vital component of the Australian economy, and its growth is closely linked with rising commercial vehicle usage. Road freight in particular accounts for over 75% of all domestic freight movement. According to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE), New South Wales recorded 86 billion ton-kilometers of road freight in 2023–24, the highest in its history (BITRE). Across Australia, total road freight volumes exceeded 230 billion ton-kilometers. As manufacturing, agriculture, and retail supply chains scale up to meet domestic and export demands, logistics firms are investing in more trucks, trailers, and long-haul transport vehicles. Fleet expansions are particularly common along key interstate corridors such as the Hume, Pacific, and Bruce highways. Furthermore, Australia’s vast geography makes road transport the preferred choice in many regions, reinforcing the need for reliable, long-range commercial vehicles with advanced load capacity and fuel efficiency.
