In 2023, agriculture contributed around 2.57 percent to the GDP of Australia, 27.65 percent came from industry, and 63.57 percent from the services sector. The same year, the Australian inflation rate, another important key indicator for its economic situation, amounted to 2.82 percent. Why is the inflation rate important?Inflation is the steady increase in price levels for consumer goods and services during a certain timespan. The European Central Bank considers a steady inflation rate of two percent a year beneficial for a stable economy – otherwise a country risks economic hardship. In the worst case, a country can experience either hyperinflation (like Venezuela), which is the rapid increase of prices to a point of economic collapse, or deflation, which is the decrease of prices and devaluation of money that can also lead to economic collapse. Up and down under Australia’s inflation has been clawing itself out of a slump in 2016, when it unceremoniously dropped to 1.25 percent due to falling petrol costs and oil prices. The following year, it recovered instantaneously and soared back to just under two percent, and forecasts see it reaching 2.52 percent by 2021. Australians don’t seem too worried about this outlier, and rightly so, since Australia’s economy is still one of the biggest in the Asia-Pacific region and worldwide.

Australia GDP: % of GDP: Gross Value Added: Industry: Manufacturing data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Australia – Table AU.World Bank.WDI: Gross Domestic Product: Share of GDP. Manufacturing refers to industries belonging to ISIC divisions 15-37. Value added is the net output of a sector after adding up all outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or depletion and degradation of natural resources. The origin of value added is determined by the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), revision 3. Note: For VAB countries, gross value added at factor cost is used as the denominator.;World Bank national accounts data, and OECD National Accounts data files.;Weighted average;Note: Data for OECD countries are based on ISIC, revision 4.

As of May 2022, approximately ** percent of people employed in the Australian workforce were working in the health care and social assistance industry. Other leading industries for employment were professional, scientific, and technical services, as well as retail trade.

The Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing industry has undergone structural and operational changes over the past few years. Several companies have ceased or cut down local production because of changing market conditions, and the industry is in the decline phase of its economic life cycle. Various other chemical sectors use basic organic chemical products as raw material inputs to manufacture petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, personal-care products, coatings, plastics and explosives. Many of these industries, as are upstream petrochemical suppliers, are undergoing structural change, given ongoing cuts to Australia's refining and associated petrochemical capacity. Volatile chemical prices, rationalisation in the global chemical market and intense import competition have influenced the industry. Gas and oil prices have fluctuated, and feedstock prices have hiked up, making it more expensive for many companies to produce basic organic chemicals. While automation and downsizing have allowed larger manufacturers to maintain their profit margins, high purchase costs and a struggle to compete with imports from overseas have cut into industry performance. Overall, revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 4.1% to $1.9 billion over the five years through 2024-25, although this rate is distorted by a very high degree of revenue volatility. This trend includes an anticipated contraction of 9.1% in the wake of the recent collapse of Qenos, a strategically important olefin and polyolefin manufacturer. Given the integrated nature of the broader chemical sector, its demise will have significant ramifications. Conditions will be less volatile in the coming years, while modest demand from the Manufacturing division will also support revenue. Despite these improvements, manufacturers will likely continue to struggle to compete with imports, which are on track to remain high. Simultaneously, an appreciating Australian dollar is set to make Australian basic organic chemical exports less competitive in international markets. Environmental regulations are likely to escalate, and the costs associated with adhering to them are set to weigh on manufacturers, as will growing moves by their customer base to decarbonise their operations. Given these conflicting variables, revenue is set to climb at an annualised 1.1% to $2.0 billion over the five years through 2029-30.

The industry is highly fragmented due to the diverse nature of the products, with many firms producing low quantities of specialised products. Downstream markets, like mining and manufacturing, strongly influence the industry's performance. Industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 3.3% over the five years through 2023-24 to $2.8 billion. This includes an expected 2.1% decline in the current year due to slow growth in downstream demand stemming from a sharp rise in interest rates.A strong performance in the industry's major market, mining, has contributed to revenue growth over the past five years. Rising capital expenditure by the private sector has supported manufacturers. Imports from manufacturers in nations like China have accounted for a high proportion of domestic demand. They are driving out local producers relying on low domestic production costs to remain profitable. Foreign manufacturing hubs typically have low labour costs and specialise in manufacturing high-quantity, standardised products. Despite rampant import competition, industry enterprise and establishments numbers have risen as domestic manufacturers dominate niche markets, creating bespoke, high-quality products.Industry revenue is forecast to fall at annualised 0.7% over the five years through 2028-29 to $2.7 billion. Mixed demand conditions in key downstream industries, like manufacturing, will likely limit revenue growth. Actual capital expenditure on mining is set to grow over the next five years, which is set to support industry growth. An anticipated appreciation of the Australian dollar over the next five years will likely reduce domestic product competitiveness, constraining export revenue. However, a continued shift towards high-value specialised manufacturing is likely to offset this decline and support an increase in profitability over the period. Import competition is slated to continue threatening industry players as developed countries continue to innovate and produce products on par with domestic manufacturers. This trend is anticipated to be an additional barrier for domestic manufacturers who have pivoted to creating high-value products.

A business establishment is defined as a • Commercial occupant in a building • Separate land use • Any permanent presence of economic activity in accordance with standard Industry classification (ANZSIC). Hence, if one organisation has its presence in several buildings in the CLUE area, each time it will be counted as a separate establishment. Consequently, the count of establishments presented in CLUE represents the number of locations, rather than 'enterprises'.
