Supermarkets and grocery store outcomes have been a tale of dealing with volatile prices at their purchase and sales points. The continued expansion of Aldi and Amazon has forced the two established industry giants, Woolworths and Coles, to remain price-competitive on both the physical store and online service fronts. To differentiate themselves from low-cost supermarkets, Coles and Woolworths have leant into attracting customers with convenient locations and expanded online shopping capabilities. These supermarket giants also rely on loyalty programs and promotions. Coles and Woolworths have displayed interest in data analytics, strengthening their relationships with analytics firms like Palantir to optimise their marketing and operational processes. The ACCC and Treasury have taken the lead on addressing supplier and customer concerns relating to deceptive discounting practices and supplier contract bargaining exploitation. Supermarket and grocer revenue rose significantly following the COVID-19 outbreak. Household expenditure shifted towards retail industries amid restrictions on many services industries, with this imbalance remaining as high costs limit eating out. A combination of panic buying, along with the suspension of many specials and promotions in supermarkets, boosted grocery turnover at the beginning of the period, spiking revenue for 2019-20. This high benchmark at the start of the period has resulted in an industry correction and an annualised revenue decline of 0.6% to $148.7 billion over the five years to 2024-25. However, stores have largely managed to pass on upstream costs to customers, steadying their profit margins while suppliers and consumers bear the brunt of inflation-driven costs. Revenue is estimated to climb by 0.2% in 2024-25, reflecting the price-driven industry growth more indicative of the overall revenue trend that was drowned out by the pandemic revenue spike and correction. Supermarkets and grocery stores are set to continue performing well with industry revenue slated to climb at an annualised 0.4% over the five years through 2029-30 to $142.8 billion. Population growth and stubborn inflationary pressures, despite rate hikes, are set to keep store prices inching upwards. The results of the Treasury and the ACCC's investigations will shine a light on new regulations and potential penalties in store for large supermarkets. Eventually, when inflationary pressures subside and consumer sentiment returns to a positive level, supermarkets and grocers will be well-positioned to take advantage of consumer appetite for value-added and premium goods. Strong growth in online sales is set to continue.

Portugal, Canada, and the United States were the countries with the highest house price to income ratio in 2024. In all three countries, the index exceeded 130 index points, while the average for all OECD countries stood at 116.2 index points. The index measures the development of housing affordability and is calculated by dividing nominal house price by nominal disposable income per head, with 2015 set as a base year when the index amounted to 100. An index value of 120, for example, would mean that house price growth has outpaced income growth by 20 percent since 2015. How have house prices worldwide changed since the COVID-19 pandemic? House prices started to rise gradually after the global financial crisis (2007–2008), but this trend accelerated with the pandemic. The countries with advanced economies, which usually have mature housing markets, experienced stronger growth than countries with emerging economies. Real house price growth (accounting for inflation) peaked in 2022 and has since lost some of the gain. Although, many countries experienced a decline in house prices, the global house price index shows that property prices in 2023 were still substantially higher than before COVID-19. Renting vs. buying In the past, house prices have grown faster than rents. However, the home affordability has been declining notably, with a direct impact on rental prices. As people struggle to buy a property of their own, they often turn to rental accommodation. This has resulted in a growing demand for rental apartments and soaring rental prices.
