Surveying and Mapping Services in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Rerouting: Infrastructure and mineral exploration have supported revenue retention

Firms in the Surveying and Mapping Services industry have struggled with volatile downstream demand over the past few years, prompting a sharp rise in demand for some segments, while others have struggled. The COVID-19 pandemic had severe and ongoing effects on the investment cycles in key downstream sectors, especially the mining and construction sector. Yet, the effect of this volatility was muted by the divergent nature of these trends, partially offsetting on another. Construction tanked, while mining surged, which contributed to a mixed industry-wide performance. Overall, revenue is expected to rise at an annualised 1.6% over the past five years to $4.4 billion, including an anticipated fall of 1.6% in 2023-24, when high interest rates are expected to hamper downstream demand from residential and non-residential building construction.
