Kitchen and Diningware Wholesaling in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Clearing the plate: Wholesale bypass and fierce price competition is scraping down industry revenue

The Kitchen and Diningware Wholesaling industry derives most of its revenue from downstream retailers, which is why the COVID-19 pandemic and associated boom in housewares demand has impacted wholesalers. Homebound consumers have undertaken renovations to enhance the overall atmosphere of their living spaces. In addition to rising online shopping activity and government support packages, this trend boosted consumers' spending on housewares, including kitchen and diningware, at the retail level. As a knock-on effect, wholesalers enjoyed higher order volumes from retailers like department stores, supermarkets and specialty houseware stores. Revenue is expected to creep upwards at an annualised 0.3% over the five years through 2022-23, to an estimated $3.0 billion. In 2022-23, revenue is anticipated to dip by 0.2%. This rising number of households has also contributed to industry expansion, as consumers tend to adorn their newly built homes with new homewares.
