This report analyses Australia's trade-weighted index (TWI), which represents the value of the Australian dollar compared with a basket of currencies of Australia's major trading partners. The basket is weighted according to the share of trade conducted with each country. Weights are recalculated annually and come into action starting from 1st December each year. However, the most recent weights for 2023 were released later than usual on 21st December. The five currencies with the largest weights are the Chinese renminbi (29.5%), the US dollar (8.7%), the Japanese yen (13.2%), the Euro (8.8%) and the South Korean won (7.1%). Some of the currencies in the TWI basket are pegged to the US dollar, which gives the US dollar a larger implicit weighting. The data for this report is sourced from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and is presented as an average index over the financial year, where the base of 100 is equal to the TWI in May 1970.

Wool prices have fallen considerably over recent years, damaging the performance of the Wool Wholesaling industry. Prices have sunk because of reduced demand caused by cost-of-living concerns. Shifting consumer preferences driven by work-from-home trends have also contributed to diminishing demand. Overall, industrywide revenue is expected to contract at an annualised 4.6% over the five years to 2024-25, to total $2.9 billion. This includes an estimated 0.9% dip in the current year. Even so, profit margins have improved as marketing efforts have boosted global demand for Australian wool by promoting it as a premium, sustainable product. The Wool Wholesaling industry is highly fragmented and exhibits low market share concentration, although this does have the potential to shift in the coming years. Agrium SP, the only major company, significantly increased its market share with the 2019 acquisition of Ruralcoc, which created Nutrien Ag Solutions. Elders Limited has also signalled its intentions to expand its presence in the wool market with the creation of Elders Wool Handling. Wool prices are set to rise over the coming years, boosting revenue for the Wool Wholesaling industry. Economic recovery and marketing campaigns that promote Australian wool as environmentally friendly and high-quality will propel demand. A new trade agreement with India eliminating tariffs will drive up export volumes, which will benefit wholesalers selling to exporters. Even so, a rising trade-weighted index may make Australian wool more expensive globally, subduing growth in export volumes. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to climb at an annualised 3.1% through 2029-30 to total $3.4 billion.

The Natural Rubber Product Manufacturing industry has faced considerable volatility in recent years, resulting in a non-insignificant number of manufacturers leaving the industry. Intense competition from low-cost overseas producers and competition from synthetic rubber products has compounded a dramatic drop in demand from the mining and construction sectors, two crucial buyers of natural rubber products. Despite these challenges, the industry maintained a profit margin of 5.9% by focusing on niche product offerings and adopting expanded automated processes, reducing total wages for the industry. Enhanced product quality from imported goods and intense price wars have only intensified the struggle for manufacturers. Revenue has declined at an annualised 4.5% for the five years through 2024-25 to $1.2 billion. This slowing includes an 8.2% drop in 2024-25, primarily because of dampened demand from crucial downstream markets like the manufacturing, mining and construction sectors. The industry will continue to face these same challenges over the preceding five years, although greater demand from the construction and manufacturing sectors will provide moderate relief. Manufacturers that cater to the needs of local companies through the production of custom-moulded natural rubber products have created a competitive advantage by delivering high-quality and unique natural rubber products, particularly for sections of the economy like the Medical and Surgical Equipment Manufacturing industry. This approach has granted them the ability to charge higher prices and mitigate the effects of price competition from imported products. Models forecast revenue to contract and an annualised 0.1% to $1.2 billion for the five years through 2029-30. If current trends continue, demand from the mining sector will slump over this period. An appreciating Australian dollar can pose challenges for domestic manufacturers exporting their products, making them relatively more expensive in international markets. This strengthening of the trade-weighted index may lead to reduced demand and difficulties in maintaining market share abroad, shrinking exports while also making imports more attractive. To counteract these effects, manufacturers can focus on product quality, consider diversifying export destinations and implement efficiency measures to sustain competitiveness despite the stronger currency.
