MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

Government's Infrastructure Investment Program to Propel Sales of Construction Equipment

The country has a robust pipeline of public sector-funded projects. The 2022-2023 budget announced the investment of USD 12.0 billion over ten years to important infrastructure projects across the country, such as road and rail. Additionally, the government promised the investments to exceed USD 146 billion between 2021-2025.

Moreover, the government has invested over USD 4.1 billion in renewable energy generation & energy storage. South Australia attracted approximately USD 4 billion in foreign investment for power generation projects such as wind, solar PV, solar thermal, batteries, pumped hydro, compressed air, and thermal storage.

INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS

Skilled Labor Shortage In The Country To Hamper Construction Activities In The Region

In 2022, National Skill Week's chairman reported a critical skilled labor shortage in the construction sector, hampering the project delivery timelines. It was predicted that the shortage would reach 100,000 vacancies by 2023.

Home Builders Institute (HBI) announced that the construction industry would need to generate 740,000 new jobs annually to align with the industry's skilled labor demand. However, the country's aging population is adding further pressure. It has been projected that by 2066, older people in Australia will account for 21% to 23% of the total population.

The Scarcity of Industrial Space May Hamper The Pace of Warehouse Development Projects

There is a chronic scarcity of warehouse supply in the Australian market due to tight industrial land. Completion dates of new projects have been delayed in the pipeline, and the average rents have also increased significantly over 2022.
