Commercial Vehicle Wholesaling in Australia Industry Data and Analysis

Misaki Iishi
Analyst Melbourne, Australia October 2026

The Commercial Vehicle Wholesaling industry has seen revenue surge over the past five years as wholesalers have leveraged high demand and prices. A shift in consumer behaviour following the COVID-19 pandemic led to an online shopping boom, accelerating road freight activities. This bolstered sales for commercial vehicles like vans and heavy rigid trucks from road freight operators. Popular utes, like the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, showed robust sales as high levels of government stimulus temporarily expanded household incomes and savings. More recently, a severely constrained global supply chain has led to critical input shortages, like microprocessors. These shortages have slowed motor vehicle manufacturers' production and surged prices. Wholesalers were able to raise vehicle prices to pass on their increased purchase costs to clients without dampening sales because demand surpassed supply. This enabled wholesalers to improve their profitability despite facing elevated purchase expenses. Overall, revenue is projected to have climbed at an annualised 4.1% over the five years through 2024-25, to $10.5 billion. This trend includes an anticipated drop of 1.4% in 2024-25.
