The Removalists industry provides a range of relocation and storage services for households, corporations and government clients. 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 has partly contained demand for removalists in recent years. Demand for corporate relocation services has also been subdued 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 revenue has declined at a CAGR of 2.5 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $1.8bn in 2023.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
