Description

Sewerage and Drainage Services in Australia

Operators in the Sewerage and Drainage Services industry have faced a difficult operating environment over the past five years. Industry revenue is expected to decline at an annualised 2.5% over the five years through 2023-24, to total $10.1 billion. These revenue declines were mainly driven by sharp drops in 2020-21 and 2021-22, and some pricing restrictions throughout the period. Government lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic forced many businesses to temporarily close, limiting demand from many sectors and rising defaults on their utility payments in 2020-21, including those to the industry. Further defaults, driven by high inflation and rising interest rates are expected to lead to revenue falling by 2.2% in the current year, with low volume growth and downward pressure on pricing also hindering the industry

Industry companies operate sewerage systems, drainage systems and sewage treatment plants. Industry organisations are generally owned and operated by state or territory governments.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
