AUSTRALIA RETAIL SECTOR SIZE & SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS & FORECASTS (2023 - 2028)
From 2004 to 2019, the Australian retail sector, one of the major economic drivers of the nation, saw growth. About AUD 329.6 billion was the estimated total retail turnover in 2019, which is about AUD 9 billion greater than what it was the year before. But the unexpected COVID-19 epidemic, which struck the nation in early 2020, brought about a lot of changes to the country's retail sector, which saw a decline in the overall number of sales transactions during the first and second quarters of 2020.
With over 24 million people (about 90% of the population) residing in the cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth, as well as several smaller cities and towns within 100 miles of the ocean, Australia is one of the most urbanised countries in the world. The market is recording more revenue transactions in the nation because to elements like internet advertising, high brand recognition rates, and influencer trends for several product categories, including footwear and apparel. Due to the rising demand for them, it is projected that the trend would continue during the forecast period.
In 2020, the demand for a number of products will still be increasing, continuing the upward demand pattern that was observed during the study period. For instance, the market for food and drinks increased by more than 11% in 2020, reaching an estimated value of AUD 151 billion. In 2020, demand is expected to increase significantly in other significant retail market areas, such as household care products including floor cleaners and laundry care items. The clothes, footwear, and accessories segment saw a decline in demand over the course of the year while being one of the strong segments for more sale transactions during the study period.
Due to Australia's high rate of urbanisation and expanding e-commerce market, online retailing is one of the distribution methods that is expanding the fastest in the nation. The unexpected COVID-19 epidemic has fueled its expansion in 2020. The internet distribution channel had significant increase during the research period. The main factors that attracted new customers to the channel were lockdown measures and safe distancing protocols, whereas the factors that contributed to the segment's growth in 2020 included strong payment gateways, new omnichannel practises like click-and-collect, faster delivery options like same-day, one-day deliveries for most product categories, including electronics, and a few health and beauty products.
