Computer and Electronic Office Equipment Manufacturing in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Turning on: Long-term contracts with government clients have boosted industry revenue

The Computer and Electronic Office Equipment Manufacturing industry's performance has improved over the past five years, as industry operators have focused on securing long-term sales contracts with business, government and education clients. Industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualised 4.7% over the five years through 2022-23, to $1.44 billion. Although imports have continued to dominate the industry and satisfy most domestic demand over the period, a depreciating Australian dollar has reduced domestic operators' purchasing power in the international market, driving up purchase costs and exerting downward pressure on industry profit margins and revenue. While industry revenue is expected to decrease by 3.1% in the current year, the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily lifted demand for computer products and related peripheral equipment, as working and learning from home restrictions increased the number of businesses and consumers purchasing industry products over the past five years. Increasing industry participation over the period has reflected this rise in demand, boosting industry revenue.

Industry companies primarily manufacture computers, electronic office equipment and peripheral devices. The industry excludes the repairs and maintenance of computers, and the manufacturing of local or wide area network communications equipment, such as routers and modems.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry's key players and their market shares.
