Removalists in Australia

The Removalists industry provides a range of relocation and storage services for households, corporations and government clients. The demand for industry services has been partly contained over the past five years by the weak growth in housing transfers, which has corresponded with falling numbers of new dwelling commencements and a decline in demand from mortgages, despite favourable trends in residential housing prices and record low interest rates. The trend of households hiring vans to do removal work themselves has undermined the industry's long-term performance. Demand for corporate relocation services has also been subdued over the past five years by a weak trend in the number of businesses, although this has been partly offset by expansion in government consumption expenditure and relocation demand for public sector agencies.

Industry operators provide moving and relocation services. These include local, long-distance and international transport of household, institutional and commercial goods, furniture and equipment. Industry firms often provide incidental packing and storage services.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
