Shifting social trends have significantly influenced the Restaurants industry's performance over recent years. Consumers' busy lifestyles and high workloads have bolstered demand for restaurant meals and takeaway. Restaurants allow consumers to combine dining with leisure and avoid spending time on food preparation. Rising demand for food delivery platforms like Uber Eats has also supported industry revenue, allowing time-poor consumers to purchase home-delivered, restaurant-quality food. A fall in discretionary incomes and recent cost-of-living pressures have restricted patronage for restaurants, as consumers have become more concerned about the costs of dining out. Industry businesses are also finding it extremely difficult to deal with elevated operational costs, including high input, wage and energy expenses. Labour shortages have also been extreme in the industry, with restaurants facing major retention gaps. These factors, along with intense competitive pressures, have curbed the industry’s profitability growth and forced businesses to exit the industry over the two years through 2024-25. Nonetheless, the total number of enterprises in the industry has increased over the past five years as dynamic consumer preferences have created several niches for restaurants to cater to. Overall, industry revenue is anticipated to have soared at an annualised 6.6% over the five years through 2024-25 to $24.1 billion. This includes an expected 2.2% dip in 2024-25. Looking ahead, improving consumer confidence and expanding discretionary incomes are set to support industry revenue. Reeling from the economic challenges of the previous five-year period, restaurants are anticipated to diversify their revenue streams by expanding their service offerings to include merchandise and live events. Restaurants are forecast to focus on improving operational efficiencies to limit costs and boost profitability. There will also be a focus on sustainability efforts as Australian consumers become more discerning about their environmental choices. Overall, industry revenue is projected to climb an annualised 1.0% over the five years through 2029-30 to total $25.5 billion.

Australia's tourism gross domestic product (GDP) bounced back strong in 2023, recording an increase of 90.8 percent. After witnessing a significant decline in tourism GDP in 2020 and 2021, with tourism GDP taking a massive plunge of 36.2 percent in 2021 as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, the industry appears to be on the road to recovery. The state of the tourism industry in 2021 The coronavirus pandemic had an enormous negative effect on the travel and tourism industry worldwide. In Australia, all major tourism-related industries reported a decline in GVA on the previous year. International visitors were also restricted from entering the country, resulting in a significant drop in revenue from international visitors. China, as the origin of the COVID-19 virus, was the first country to be subjected to travel bans. This was particularly damaging to the Australian economy due to the high volume of Chinese visitors that visit Australia for work, leisure, and study. Hopes for a trans-Tasman travel bubble  Just as visitors to Australia were restricted, international travel for Australians became increasingly limited throughout 2020 and 2021. However, with New Zealand’s success at containing the virus, and incidents of COVID-19 in Australia declining at the end of April, the two countries opened negotiations for a “trans-Tasman travel bubble”. The concept would open travel for Australian and New Zealand residents across the Tasman sea, without the need to undergo quarantine in Australia or New Zealand. Unfortunately, after a second wave outbreak of coronavirus in Melbourne and subsequent outbreaks later in the year, the trans-Tasman bubble did not come to pass in 2020.

As the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the travel and tourism industry, hotel owners and operators faced uncertainty as to the future of the business.

Australians' expanding palates have significantly influenced the Japanese Restaurants industry's performance. Consumers have sought diverse ethnic cuisines triggered by net migration and inbound tourism. Higher discretionary income has boosted consumers' purchasing power to spend on dining out, which has particularly inflated demand at the higher end of the pricing spectrum for Japanese restaurants. For example, the likes of Nobu and Tempura Hajime have benefited from Omakase’s growing popularity as they provide a chef-curated, luxury dining experience. With that said, demand for the low- to mid-pricing tier have risen in line with consumer pessimism and budget-conscious mindsets. In turn, revenue is expected to grow by an annualised 2.1% over the five years through 2023–24, to $1.9 billion. The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented disruption to the industry, dulling its performance. Lockdowns and social-distancing requirements plummeted dine-in earnings for restaurants, but those that shifted towards takeaway could benefit from a prosperous home-delivery market. Post-pandemic inflation pressures encourage consumers to pull back discretionary spending, contributing to the market’s modest anticipated revenue growth of 0.9% in 2023-24. Japanese restaurants often source fresh and local produce, meaning prices per dish are higher than other hospitality fares. The health benefits of Japanese cuisine have preserved consumers’ willingness to spend on such food, particularly as health consciousness has grown. The rising domestic prices of key ingredients like seafood, meat and vegetables have meant restaurants have either increased menu prices or absorbed the costs, resulting in several restaurants leaving the industry. Nevertheless, most restaurants carefully managed costs and menu adjustments to maintain competitiveness and profitability through the pandemic, and enjoyed inflated earnings out of lockdowns. The Japanese Restaurants industry is earmarked for growth in the upcoming years. Rising discretionary incomes and a return to positive consumer confidence will encourage consumers to spend more on dining out. Improved inbound tourism and greater emphasis on healthy diets will also shift consumers towards Japanese cuisine. However, Japanese restaurants will face tough competition as other eateries capitalise on Australians’ refining tastebuds. Revenue is projected to grow at an annualised 2.0% over the five years through 2028-29, to reach $2.1 billion.
