Holden’s share of Australia’s new car market has fallen from about 20 per cent in the 1990s to just seven per cent. Holden will be the last car maker to cease local manufacturing when its Adelaide plant closes on 20 October. Former Mitsubishi Motors Australia CEO Tom Phillips says local car-makers struggled due to the influx of international car brands, with some 65 models competing in a relatively small market in terms of population. He adds that a change in consumers’ vehicle preferences also contributed to the demise of the local industry.
