The Australian automotive market is mature with modest growth expected going forward.auto parts australia In 2022, 1.2 million new passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and trucks were sold in the country. The majority of sales were SUV's which accounted for 53.1 percent of the market, followed by passenger cars at 37.8 percent, and light commercial vehicles at 23.7 percent.

US manufacturers have a strong reputation for making high-quality, well-engineered auto aftermarket and specialty products in Australia. The best segments for US companies include supplying aftermarket performance parts, off-road and light truck accessories, repair tools and consumables.

In addition to selling products through its distribution network, NAPA offers a variety of solutions for the Australian industry including MRO and OEM support, specialty stores, on-site solutions offerings, service and repair offerings and e-business assistance. In addition, NAPA PROLink allows customers to access pricing, availability and ordering information via their vehicle registration lookup system.

Currently, there are relatively few barriers to US exports of automotive products and services into the Australian market. As long as products can be classified as automotive items with a minimum of 51% US content there are no customs tariffs under the US-Australia Free Trade Agreement. Documentation stating the rules of origin should accompany all shipments. Vehicle compliance is handled by the individual Australian states and sometimes small modifications can require a construction engineer’s report to ensure the vehicle complies with Australian Design Rules (ADRs). The largest US distributor in Australia is Repco with 14 DCs, 6,000 Company Owned Stores and 1,760 Independent Affiliates.
