Truck Repair in Australia industry analysis

A larger commercial vehicle fleet and rising freight activity have benefited the Truck Repairs industry. Record heavy vehicle registrations, stronger online retail logistics and extended fleet holding periods have reinforced the industry’s growth. Technology-driven reliability improvements in newer trucks and reduced accident rates have restrained the industry’s revenue expansion, but higher demand from unscheduled repairs, engine diagnostics and mobile servicing has partly offset reduced accident-related repair volumes. Overall, industry revenue is expected to climb at an annualised 0.7% over the five years through 2025-26 to $6.6 billion.

Trends and Insights

  • Australia’s expanding truck fleet is sustaining a reliable flow of repair work. Newer vehicles tend to require routine logbook servicing and diagnostics, while older trucks are driving demand for more complex, labour-intensive repairs.
  • Increased ecommerce activity has supported demand for repairs on smaller delivery trucks. In line with the shift towards online purchases, truck repairers have performed a growing proportion of repairs on smaller trucks as registrations for these vehicles 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.

Industry Statistics and Trends

Market size and recent performance (2015-2030)

Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 0.7 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $6.6bn in 2025.

Trends and Insights

Record heavy vehicle registrations have supported steady volumes for truck repairers

  • According to Fifth Quadrant, 51,306 new heavy commercial vehicles were registered in 2024, slightly below the record in 2023 but still reflective of ongoing fleet expansion. A larger national fleet supports baseline demand for repair services, as every additional vehicle increases the volume of required maintenance, diagnostics and parts replacement. Most new trucks are deployed in high-utilisation sectors like freight transport, waste collection and construction, where servicing intervals are shorter and repair urgency is higher.

Industry revenue is measured across several distinct product and services lines, including General servicing, Body repairs and Engine repairs. General servicing is the largest segment of the Truck Repair in Australia.

Trends and Insights

General servicing demand is rising alongside higher vehicle usage and increasingly stringent compliance requirements

  • General servicing is a core and growing revenue stream for truck repairers, supported by increased road freight volumes and high utilisation rates for commercial vehicles. Frequent long-distance travel incurs increased wear, necessitating regular maintenance. Many road freight operators must comply with manufacturer-recommended service intervals or mandated servicing tied to heavy vehicle registration and accreditation schemes (e.g. NHVAS), ensuring a recurring work base.
