The Custody, Trustee and Stock Exchange Services has experienced dynamic shifts driven by globalisation, digital revolution and market volatility over the past few years. Although the number of stock market trades has climbed, investors and superannuation funds have gravitated towards international markets to diversify their portfolios over the past few years, slowing revenue growth for domestic stock exchanges and share registry services. Despite the trend, Guzman and Gomez's recent IPO, the largest on the ASX in three years - could signal a potential revival in domestic stock exchange interest. Competition within the industry has heightened over the past few years. The payment space has experienced fierce competition, but the growing digital payments and online shopping segments have propelled credit card usage. Despite the booming popularity of alternative payment methods like buy now pay later (BNPL), credit card providers have boosted their appeal through attractive loyalty and reward programs, spurring industry growth. The inherently volatile financial markets and consumer sentiment heavily influence services like stock exchanges share registries and credit card administration. Incidents like the pandemic have adversely impacted service providers' performance in the two years through 2020-21. However, despite market fluctuations, the industry's wide range of services has helped moderate revenue volatility. Therefore, revenue has risen at an annualised 0.7% to $13.0 billion over the five years through 2024-25, including a revenue uptick of 0.5% in the current year. The industry is on track to recover over the next few years. Consumer sentiment and business confidence are set to rise, encouraging more clients to seek out custody, trustee and stock exchange services. Anticipated growth of the All Ordinaries Index, the value of funds under management (FUM) and superannuation funds' assets under management (AUM) will fuel industry expansion. However, digitalisation in the financial services sector will introduce new entrants, creating a challenging environment for traditional service providers and placing downward pressure on profitability. Revenue is forecast to rise at an annualised 1.9% to $14.3 billion over the five years through 2029-39.

The amount of water farmers in the Rice Growing industry can access influences production, as rice is a water-intensive crop. Therefore, the level of annual rainfall and water availability are key determinants of industry performance. Rice growers' reliance on rainfall is reflected in the industry's performance in 2018-19 and 2019-20. Industry output and revenue were negligible over this period, as severe drought in the Murray-Darling Basin (the Basin), which hosts most industry establishments, forced many farmers to grow other crops. This decline has reversed since 2019-20, when consecutive years of above-average rainfall allowed farmers to produce a bountiful crop. These conditions drove high production volumes, while strong demand kept prices relatively high. Rice growers have capitalised on this dynamic, registering a surge in industry-wide profit margins. However, industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 45.9% over the five years through 2023-24, to $268.7 million. Much of this growth stems from the fact that the five year period begins on a low base year. Yet, in 2023-24, revenue is set to grow 18.3%, water availability remains healthy which will drive higher production volumes over the year. Most rice grown in Australia is sold to Ricegrowers Limited, trading as SunRice. The company plays a significant role in the industry, such as deciding what proportion of different rice varieties should be grown. The company also owns Rice Research Australia Pty Ltd, which assists with research and development. Furthermore, individual rice growers have greater bargaining power with downstream customers through Ricegrowers Limited, which mostly acts as a cooperative despite listing on the ASX in April 2019. Industry revenue is forecast to grow steadily over the coming years, which is premised on sufficient water availability keeping production yields high. The introduction of new technology into farming processes is on track to improve operating efficiencies, which will drive up returns for farmers growing rice and drive more farmers to plant rice crops. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to rise at an annualised 3.4% over the five years through 2028-29, to reach $318.3 million.
