Industry Activity

Motor Vehicle Body, Paint, and Interior Repair in Australia

The Motor Vehicle Body, Paint, and Interior repair industry is dependent on accidents in order to generate revenue. New cars are coming equipped with more and more safety features to help prevent the occurrence of accidents. As Australian consumers are showing a preference for newer cars, this will result in fewer cars needing repair work and a decline in revenue. Counteracting this, people with new cars are more likely to have repair work done than people in older cars.

Things have bounced back very well from 2010-11 and the industry has enjoyed substantial growth since.

Motor Vehicle Dismantling and Used Parts Wholesaling in Australia

In recent years, Australian consumers have shown a tendency to purchase new cars, which means that the average age of cars on the road is getting younger. This is not good news for the dismantling and used parts wholesale industry as they rely on used cars to provide replacement parts and repairs. Also, newer cars are likely to come with crash-avoidance technology which lessens the need for smash repairs and replacement parts. However, counter balancing the loss of this revenue is the high demand for scrap metal which is acquired as purchasers of new cars look to get rid of their old cars.

Many motorcycles are purchased for recreational purposes, therefore sales of motorcycles are very responsive to economic conditions. In figure 2, the rate of revenue growth declines sharply in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), and it is not until 2010-11 that the industry sees a return to positive growth. The decline in growth was somewhat off-set by people purchasing motorcycles and scooters as a cheaper form of transport amongst rising fuel prices. The agricultural sector has also seen an increased demand for All-Terrain Vehicles.
