13 | Auto Trade Forecasts Since the end of the last decade, all domestic car manufacturing in Australia has ceased, turning the country into a sole importer of automotive vehicles.
With the recent elimination of car manufacturing in South Australia, car imports increased considerably in recent years to reflect the State’s new import-only status.
Going forward it is expected that car imports will closely match new car sales in South Australia.
