Industries in Growth Stage of Life Cycle in Australia in 2025

1. Electric Vehicle Wholesaling in Australia

2025 Units *: 35.6

The Electric Vehicle Wholesaling industry has grown rapidly over the past five years. Increased charging infrastructure availability has supported demand, as has an increased range of electric vehicle (EV) models. Rising concern about environmental issues has also assisted the industry, as consumers have sought to lower their environmental footprint. A mostly positive consumer index, which indicates households are optimistic about their financial position and more likely to make expensive purchases, has further supported this trend. Despite these factors, EVs are still unaffordable for many consumers due to their high price point, limiting their consumer market. Additionally, minimal federal and state... Learn More

2. Cotton Growing in Australia

2025 Units *: 34.0

The Australian Cotton Growing industry contributes about 2.5% of the total value of agricultural commodities produced in Australia. The past five years have been very difficult for the industry - revenue in the five years to June 2007 is expected to fall by 16.5% annually to $703.8 million. The reasons behind this sharp fall have been:

• The area of cotton plantings in Australia has been contracting in the past five years, as farmers have found it increasingly difficult to find adequate water supplies. This has seen a reduction in volumes produced, down from 703.3 kilotonnes in 2001-02 to a forecasted 250 kilotonnes... Learn More

• 3. Solar Electricity Generation in Australia

  2025 Units *: 20.4

Industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 163.4% over the five years through 2018-19, to reach $583.4 million. This growth has been driven by the development of a multitude of large-scale solar farms, which have increased industry generation capacity from less than 50 MW in 2014 to over 2,400 MW in 2018. Industry generation capacity is expected to continue growing in 2018-19, as a record number of solar projects come online. Industry revenue is expected to increase by 115.7% in... Learn More

  • Domestic demand is essentially zero, as all uranium output is exported. However, exports do not... Learn More

  • 5. Personal Welfare Services in Australia

    2025 Units *: 16.7

    The Non Residential Care Services n.e.c. industry has experienced consistently strong revenue growth during the current performance period, in keeping with its status as a growth industry, as Government funding increases and minimal movement in the unemployment rate would indicate. Government initiatives to assist in getting unemployed Australians back to the workforce have also prompted growth in the industry. Firms engaged in residential care services are predominantly small, or non-employing, firms, with not-for-profit status, although there is an increasing incidence of firms entering the industry as profit-making entities. Also in 2007-08, the Non Residential Care Services n.e.c. industry:
