Audio Visual Electronic Equipment Manufacturing in Australia industry analysis

Audio visual electronic equipment manufacturers have faced challenging trading conditions . A high level of globalisation has characterised the Audio Visual Electronic Equipment Manufacturing industry in recent years, as imports account for a considerable portion of domestic demand. Foreign manufacturers have placed significant competitive pressure on manufacturers, with low-cost overseas manufacturers that can leverage economies of scale dominating the domestic market. This trend has forced domestic manufacturers to focus on higher quality, specialised items to gain a competitive advantage on quality rather than a price basis.The Audio Visual Electronic Equipment Manufacturing industry is highly fragmented, with a low level of market concentration and multiple diverse product segments. Largely driven by the COVID-19 pandemic which has substantially reduced demand from key markets like the defence segment, revenue is expected to plunge at an annualised 6.3% over the five years through 2023-24, to $2.7 billion. This includes an estimated dip of 0.2% in the current year, due to the rise in the value of the Australian dollar, which makes foreign products more price-competitive and domestically manufactured equipment pricier.The performance of audio visual electronic equipment manufacturers is set to recover over the next few years, with revenue to grow at an annual average rate of 3.4%, through the end of 2028-29, to an estimated $3.1 billion. Import penetration is poised to remain high, as the Australian dollar is set to rise, causing domestic manufacturers to face greater competition from cheaper foreign products. However, commercial and industrial construction activities are set to rise, driving up demand for audio visual electronic equipment. Rising capital expenditure on defence and private capital expenditure on machinery and equipment is also set to boost industry revenue. The export market is poised to grow, as global demand recovers from the effects of COVID-19, and the demand for high-quality products strengthens. Improving downstream demand and export growth are to encourage an increasing number of manufacturers to enter the market, with enterprise and establishment numbers set to rise in the next few years. However, imports are anticipated to remain high, especially low-cost electronic components and parts, continuing to be a key source of competition for industry operators.

Trends and Insights

  • Technological developments have supported revenue growth. Technological advancements have contributed to increased spending on machinery and equipment, as well as IT and telecommunications adoptions in recent years, supporting revenue growth.
  • Microphones, headphones and earphones benefit from the transition to an online environment. The surge in work from home practices and hybrid learning has propelled demand for microphones, headphones and earphones.
  • Population distribution and economic activity are key drivers of the number of manufacturers. A majority of manufacturers establish themselves in Australia’s three economic powerhouses with abundant labour: New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
  • Internal competition centres on product specialisation and quality rather than price in the Audio Visual Electronics Equipment Manufacturing industry. Manufacturers gain a competitive edge by investing in research and development, developing new products and building up a reputable brand.
