The Warehousing and Storage Services sector is a crucial part of the supply chain, handling raw materials, production inputs and final products. Recently, enhanced demand for value-added services and an emphasis on improved supply chain management have led to new areas of income growth for those involved in warehouse and storage operations. However, surging purchase costs and weakened demand from key sectors like manufacturing and mining have offset income growth from these trends. For this reason, revenue is expected to inch downwards at an annualised 0.2% over the five years through 2025-26, to $1.7 billion. This includes an estimated 0.7% uptick in 2025-26, as demand from wholesale trade and online shopping bolster industry performance.
