TRANSPORT & DISTRIBUTION



Industry overview

Australia’s transport, distribution and logistics sector is a leading barometer of economic activity, as it intersects with most of Australia’s key industries. Medium term growth prospects forecast total demand for freight to increase over the next five years at a compound annual rate of circa 3 to 4% to 2019.
Despite the potential for growth, Australia’s under investment in infrastructure will see road transport continue to dominate this sector as the prime means of moving goods in the country. A highly fragmented industry, road transport competes aggressively for market share.


Key influences

Operators fighting for market share face challenges to profitability from growing skills shortages, rising wages costs (to both attract staff but equally to meet expanding WH&S standards), reductions in fuel rebates, increasing fuel costs, customer pricing demands and the need to deliver more integrated services, rising vehicle safety requirements and audits, the likelihood of future increases to fleet financing costs from interest rate uplifts and the threat of potential higher access costs to the country’s road networks.
