Contract Mining Services in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld
PRWeb - Tue Feb 18, 1:01PM CST
Operators in the Contract Mining Services industry in Australia provide services that support mining production. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Caroline Finch, "demand for industry services depends on the relative advantages that mining companies derive from outsourcing production, compared with controlling production in-house." Contract miners typically have access to a large pool of machinery and skilled employees that they leverage to win business. The strength of the Mining division is also a crucial factor in industry performance.
Railway Track Construction in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld
PRWeb - Fri Nov 01, 2:00PM CDT
The Railway Track Construction industry in Australia builds three kinds of rail networks: passenger transport, intermodal freight and mining output. In the past five years, the industry has grown strongly as downstream demand for these forms of transport has grown strongly. In the case of intermodal freight and passenger networks, expansion plans were already in place. Construction work for these kinds of rail networks relies on government funding. Governments are heavily involved in the downstream industries as owners and operators of track. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Caroline Finch, "the tipping point for the industry came in 2009, when, in response to the global financial crisis, the Federal Government announced a major package of infrastructure investment." Large-scale passenger rail projects got green-lighted, as did investment in intermodal freight rail corridors.
Road and Bridge Construction in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld
PRWeb - Fri Oct 25, 2:01PM CDT
The Road and Bridge Construction industry has performed strongly since the mid-2000s, driven principally by federal and state road funding and private sector investment into public toll roads. IBISWorld industry analyst Anthony Kelly states "despite slowing over the past five years, the industry is operating at near record levels of activity." This has paved the way for extensive multiplier effects throughout the local and general economies, and improved efficiency and safety for road users. Industry revenue is projected to grow by an annualised 1.1% over the five years through 2013-14, to total $15.2 billion. Revenue is forecast to grow by a stronger 3.1% in 2013-14 due to an upswing in road construction on new housing subdivisions and ongoing major roadworks. The total value of work done on road and bridge construction projects is forecast to increase by an annualised 0.9% over the five years through 2013-14, to reach $20.1 billion. According to Kelly, "public sector funding is expected to grow by an annualised 3.3%, outweighing the winding back of private road and bridge funding."
Construction in Australia - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/x3529p/construction_in) has announced the addition of the "Construction in Australia - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" report to their offering. This report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the Australian construction market The Australian construction industry registered a CAGR of 3.86% during the review period (2008-2012). Growth was largely driven by infrastructure programs such as the Nation Building Program and National Broadband Network to develop transport and communication networks in the country. Growth in other markets was subdued due to the impact of the 2009 financial crisis. The industry is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.31% over the forecast period (2013-2017), driven by growth in the infrastructure market in line with government measures to enhance transport infrastructure. Industry expansion will also be driven by an increase in the population, government initiatives to support the growth of high value add industries, and an expected revival in investor confidence among businesses and individuals. Companies Mentioned Leighton Holdings Ltd Brookfield Multiplex Group McConnell Dowell Corporation Ltd Macmahon Holdings Ltd Mirvac Group Key Highlights - Australia's economy grew by 3.6% in 2012. There are clear signs of improvement in consumption and investment, with the latter contributing 2.3 percentage points to growth. The mining industry, which attracts over 60% of the total capital investment, remains a key driver of growth. - The government's target of achieving a budget surplus during 2012-2013 is unlikely to be realized as tax receipts remain weak. Weak asset prices, low consumer confidence, low profitability and high levels of investment-related tax deductions within the mining industry have limited revenue growth. - In 2012, the construction industry contributed 9.8% to the economy's gross value add, increasing from AUD92.1 billion (US$95.1 billion) in 2011 to AUD99.5 billion (US$103 billion) in 2012. The industry's contribution was the fourth-largest after mining (13.1%), professional, scientific and technical services (10.2%), and manufacturing (10.1%). - The country's rising population and increase in vehicle use have resulted in traffic congestion in a number of cities, including Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, necessitating the need for the upgrade of urban transport infrastructure. - Despite high levels of household debt, slowing income growth, subdued consumer confidence and a downturn in recent sales figures, the outlook for the Australian retail sector is positive. Low interest rates are expected to support the sector and a gradual improvement is expected over 2014. Large fashion retailers such as Zara, H&M, J-Crew, Banana Republic and Abercrombie & Fitch are expanding operations in the country's central business districts (CBDs). Outside of the CBDs, expansion is focused on popular regional centers. These developments will benefit the commercial construction market.
