Although import competition has slipped in recent years, it continues to hinder revenue growth for industry manufacturers and satisfy a dominant share of domestic demand. Pricepoint competition has had an outsized impact, with low-cost imports undercutting prices and heaping pressure on domestic manufacturers. A depreciating Australian dollar has reduced domestic businesses’ purchasing power in the international market, providing some relief from import competition, but this depreciation has inflated purchase costs and exerted downwards pressure on profit margins.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 3.6 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $3.3bn in 2023.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
