Heavy Duty Truck Parts Wholesalers in Australia industry analysis

The Heavy Duty Truck Parts Wholesalers industry distributes domestic and foreign-made truck parts to retailers and repair stores to use when repairing and maintaining trucks. While intermediaries separate the industry from the Road Freight Transport industry, it depends on truck drivers and operators for final demand. Over the past two decades, firms in the Heavy Duty Truck Parts Wholesalers industry have benefited from a greater number of trucks on the road and Australia's growing domestic freight task. Road freight companies typically use more trucks than any other industry. These trucks tend to be large, articulated trucks transporting heavy loads over long distances. These conditions cause significant wear on components, increasing the need for replacement truck parts, often on a time-sensitive basis.

Trends and Insights

  • Sales have been supported by regulatory requirements for parts replacements. Truck owners need to maintain roadworthiness to operate, discretionary repairs and improvements were the cause of declines in sales.
  • Demand for domestic freight tasks has increased, boosting demand for tyres and brake pads. These products wear down with increased distances and loads carried, and need to be replaced more often.
  • The industry's supply chain and customers are both clustered around major ports. Positioning themselves near ports reduces transport costs for imported products to distribution centres and downstream freight operators.
  • Manufacturers are moving towards hybrid and electric trucks and parts. Government and freight companies’ efforts to electrify their vehicle fleet are driving a shift towards new fuel-efficient vehicles and electrical parts wholesaling.
