It provides detailed segmentation of historic and forecast retail sales, segmented down to category and channel level; analysis of the leading Australian companies in the retail market; and analysis of the key financial deals involving retail players in Australia.
“The Future of Retailing in Australia” provides both top-level overview and detailed category-, channel- and company-specific insights into Australia’s retail industry environment. It is an essential tool for companies active across Australia’s retail value chain and for new players considering entry into Australia’s retail market.
Key Market Trends
- Unemployment: Australia has witnessed unemployment level of 5.8% in 2009, which is the highest level in the past five years. According to the Reserve Bank of Australia, the unemployment levels are further expected to rise to 6.0% before the labor market recovers in 2010. Inflation, unemployment, and lack of credit availability have lowered the consumer disposable income, causing poor performance of the nation’s retail industry.
- Slowdown in retail property development: Rents of retail spaces in the major cities in Australia declined during 2009. The higher interest rates and declining retail sales have caused the retailers to refurbish their existing assets than buying or investing in development of new assets. Many retail property developments across the country, which were due in the past two years, have been delayed with schedules spilling into 2010.
- Industry consolidation: In Australia, retail industry has witnessed highest level of consolidation in 2008 and 2009. With major players seeking acquisitions as a way to enhance the business, the total number and value of deals completed in 2009 exceeded thrice the number and value of deals completed in 2008. Increased consolidation is giving way to formation of few but large players.
