The Casinos industry in Australia has faced a period of unprecedented crises, as a spate of government inquiries have endangered the casino licenses of the largest operators in the industry. These issues compounded a period of highly restricted patronage following the COVID-19 outbreak, as border closures and lockdowns sharply reduced turnover at all casinos in Australia. These intersecting crises have harmed industry revenue, which is expected to have contracted at an annualised 5.7% over the five years through 2024-25, to $4.7 billion. This includes an expected drop of 0.7% in 2024-25 as cost-of-living pressures weigh on downstream demand.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 5.7 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $4.7bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
