The population of Australia will continue to steady growth over 2023-2040, driven primarily by immigration, rising life expectancy and stable birth rates. Single households will continue its prevalence, presenting opportunities for businesses in sectors such as leisure, entertainment, and premium goods. However, stubborn inflation is limiting spending power and making consumers look for opportunities to save.
