Mining and Industrial Machinery Wholesaling in Australia Industry Data and Analysis
Mining and industrial machinery wholesalers have faced a volatile operational landscape in response to inconsistent activity and spending in downstream markets. The COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions and overarching climate trends have all disrupted demand for mining machinery and equipment. However, high growth in demand from mineral processors has offset this trend. Overall, demand growth from major downstream sectors has been robust, supporting revenue growth and profitability. Industry revenue is anticipated to have risen at an annualised 1.7% over the five years through 2025-26, to $28.7 billion. This includes a 1.0% drop expected in 2025-26, as demand from mining firms plummets on the back of slumps in actual capital expenditure on mining.
