Car Rental in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Car Rental in Australia

Car Rental industry revenue has shrivelled because of rising competition and the impact of COVID-19. Before the outbreak, the industry was highly reliant on international tourism, particularly from emerging markets like China and India. Hence, the pandemic was highly damaging to the industry, especially as Australia's international border was closed from March 2020 to February 2022. Overall, industry revenue has fallen at an annualised 0.7% over the past five years and is expected to total $1.5 billion in 2023-24. However, this includes an estimated surge of 15.0% in the current year as restrictions have eased and international tourists have returned to Australia.
