  •  Reasons for this steady growth include the demand for commercial road transport and favorable investment returns for businesses owning vehicles, such as fleet and dealerships.
  • Australia's government has also invested in road infrastructure and support for the commercial road transport sector, which has encouraged companies to use and purchase business vehicles.
  • Revenue in the commercial auto insurance space is projected to grow 3.1% per year, to $2.9 billion by 2020 in Australia. 
  • Companies with the largest market shares within the commercial motor vehicle insurance space are Insurance Australia Group Limited, Suncorp Group Limited, Allianz Australia Limited and QBE Insurance Group Limited.
  • Fleet cars are sold more than cars to individuals in Australia, representing 52% of car purchases each year.
  •  Small and medium enterprises purchase and insure the most fleet cars, using them to transport both employees and goods.
  •  584,895 fleet vehicles were purchased in Australia in 2017, as well as an additional 35,849 heavy commercial vehicles.
