Australia ICT Market Analysis

The Australia ICT market was valued at USD 68.74 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 74.99 billion in 2026 to reach USD 115.93 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 9.10% during the forecast period (2026-2031). Investments in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity platforms, and green data-center capacity keep spending momentum strong, while hybrid deployment models help enterprises align performance with compliance and cost targets. Rapid uptake of AI-enabled migration tools speeds legacy modernisation, and hyperscalers continue to localise facilities to meet latency and data-residency goals. Government cloud-first mandates underpin public-sector demand, and programs that co-fund small-company innovation expand the customer base for managed services. Talent shortages and rising power-and-water constraints for data centers temper near-term gains but are unlikely to derail the sector’s long-run expansion.

Australia ICT Market Trends and Insights

Surge in Cloud and Hybrid IT Adoption

Hybrid deployment is expanding at an 11.14% CAGR as organizations pair public-cloud scale with on-premises control. Microsoft’s Azure Extended Zones in Perth cut latency for resource-sector workloads and demonstrate provider commitment to regional coverage. Banking and insurance firms accelerate migration after updated risk-management guidance from the financial regulator. AI-guided refactoring reduces developer effort by 90%, freeing budgets for analytics projects. Multi-cloud orchestration tools mature, letting enterprises shift traffic in real time to optimize resilience and cost. Vendors now offer consumption-based pricing for private-cloud nodes, closing cost gaps with hyperscale services.

Government Digital-Transformation Funding

Canberra’s AUD 1.2 billion (USD 0.79 billion) Digital Government Strategy mandates cloud-first architectures, prompting agencies to migrate more than 180 websites to modern platforms. Automated migration saves each site roughly AUD 40,000 (USD 26362.20) in redevelopment spend. The Digital Marketplace opens procurement to qualified SMEs, sending annual public-sector ICT outlay toward USD 3.3 billion equivalents. Compliance with the Essential Eight framework drives demand for security orchestration and continuous monitoring tools. States mirror federal policy with their own cloud-adoption road maps, reinforcing uniform standards nationwide. Heightened transparency requirements compel vendors to disclose hosting locations and uptime metrics during tender evaluations.

ICT Talent Shortage and Wage Pressure

Job Skills Australia data show 70% of IT roles were in shortage during 2024, but targeted migration visas, scholarship programs, and short-course credentials begin to ease the crunch. Salary inflation moderates as global firms streamline regional headcounts, yet specialists in cyber defense and cloud architecture still command premium packages. Telstra transfers selected data-analytics staff into its Accenture joint venture to access broader talent pools. Professional-association frameworks guide continuous upskilling for mid-career technologists. Remote-first work models let regional centers bid for projects once confined to capital-city labor markets. Market entrants now embed apprenticeship clauses in public tenders to secure qualified resources.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Heightened Cybersecurity Demand
  2. Hyperscaler Green AI-Ready Data-Center Build-Out
  3. Legacy-System Complexity

Segment Analysis

IT Services held 32.45% of 2025 spending as firms relied on external partners for cloud migration, cybersecurity, and process re-engineering. The Australia ICT market rewards providers with deep implementation skills and vendor certifications. Cloud Services forms the fastest-moving sub-segment at a 9.62% CAGR, supported by hyperscaler footprint growth and subscription-based delivery models. IT Hardware demand stays resilient due to edge infrastructure roll-outs that connect factories, warehouses, and renewable-energy assets. Software uptake accelerates on the back of SaaS collaboration tools and AI-driven coding assistants. Infrastructure projects now bundle secure network fabrics with automated backup appliances to satisfy Essential Eight requirements.

Managed-service providers pursue scale via acquisitions, creating national footprints that align with multi-region enterprise needs. Logicalis gains Microsoft Azure Partner-of-the-Year status after migrating Western Sydney University workloads and showcasing reference architectures. Business-consulting arms layer strategic advice on top of technical delivery, positioning themselves as outcome guarantors amid legacy-system debt. Public-sector contracts increasingly specify measurable service-level outcomes, cementing a pivot toward value-based procurement. The Australia ICT market thus favors ecosystem players that marry local compliance insight with global best practices.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
