Over the past decade, the Australian economy has increasingly shifted its focus away from manufacturing and towards international trade. Procurement and supply chain consultants have been central to this process, advising companies on adopting new supply chain management technology, sourcing goods from new countries and improving logistics. Following the global shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions led clients across major downstream markets to rely on supply chain consultants to manage risk and ensure their day-to-day operations remained uninterrupted. While this caused revenue to climb through 2022-23, a preceding public-sector clampdown on consulting expenditure weighed on the industry's demand. At the same time, clients in the private sector leveraged procurement software and technological advancements to enhance their internal capacity for procurement and supply chain management. While demand waned over the three years through 2025-26, consultancies responded swiftly, reducing the industry's headcount. A decline in labour demand weakened employees' bargaining power, as they were unable to job-hop to chase higher salaries. This helped the industry to maintain healthy profit margins.
