Online Corporate and Promotional Giftware Sales in Australia industry analysis

Online corporate and promotional giftware suppliers rely on business confidence and the state of the economy to drive sales. Prior to 2020, online suppliers of corporate and promotional giftware had enjoyed stable trading conditions thanks to positive business confidence and a steady stream of demand from advertising agencies. All of this came crashing down with the pandemic, leading to a significant slump in sales. Lockdown periods and trading restrictions crippled businesses across the economy, while events like annual conferences and product launches were cancelled amid social distancing restrictions, kneecapping sales of new promotional products. The gradual easing of restrictions and a return to COVID-normal trading conditions have breathed new life back into sales for online suppliers, enabling them to regain some lost ground. Despite a modest upswing since trading restrictions eased, industry revenue is expected to slide at an annualised 7.5% over the past five years, to total $188.6 million in 2023-24, when revenue is anticipated to jump by 5.3%.

Trends and Insights

  • The COVID-19 pandemic brought industry giftware sales to a standstill in 2020. Sales suffered thanks to lockdown periods, trading restrictions and cancelled events amid social distancing requirements.
  • Online corporate and promotional giftware suppliers provide an extensive range of products including wearables, office accessories, bags, electronics, calendars, and drinkware. Merchandise traditionally has the client's branding on it.
  • Online corporate and promotional giftware suppliers benefit from being located near decision makers in target markets. That’s why New South Wales and Victoria account for most online suppliers
  • Corporate and promotional giftware products are largely homogeneous. That’s why online corporate and promotional giftware suppliers continue to compete on range, quality and price.
