Australia’s hire and rental industry was valued at $8.5 billion by data analyst IbisWorld in their 2019 Industry Report. The majority of the country’s hire companies provide rental equipment to the construction industry with the remainder supplying, in descending order, the sectors of infrastructure, home DIY, major events and parties.
