Online Automotive Parts and Accessories Sales in Australia Industry Data and Analysis
The Online Automotive Parts and Accessories Sales industry has entered a more mature phase after a decade of substantial expansion, driven initially by the digital transformation of retail and the pandemic shift towards ecommerce. Over the five years to 2025–26, industry revenue has declined at an annual rate of 1.8%, reflecting the market’s adjustment following years of elevated consumer demand. During that period, supply chain bottlenecks eased and consumers redirected spending towards new vehicles as availability improved. Despite this moderation, the industry remains robust, building on a strong digital infrastructure, growing platform innovation and a broadening product mix that continues to capture vehicle maintenance spending. Moderate growth has returned, with revenue forecast to rise 1.2% in 2025–26 to reach $615.7 million, spurred by stabilised logistics, refined online customer experiences and increased preference for digital convenience among both private and trade buyers.
