Management Consultants in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) February 15, 2014 Over the past five years, interest in the Management Consultants industry in Australia has been renewed. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Sebastian Chia, “industry revenue declined in 2009-10 due to drastic cost-cutting methods by businesses in the wake of the global financial crisis, but rebounded as firms used management consultants to introduce new business processes and improve operating efficiencies.” The industry has transitioned to provide more digital services and analytical tools, so that firms can better understand consumer purchases. New players have entered the industry, as profit margins have remained high. Larger firms, such as Accenture, continue a strategy of acquisition to increase their market shares and expand operations. Industry revenue is forecast to grow by an annualised 1.1% over the five years through 2013-14. Revenue is forecast to grow 2.7% in 2013-14 to reach $7.8 billion. Enterprises are estimated to grow by 1.7% annualised over the five years through 2013-14, while establishments are estimated to grow by an annualised 1.6%. “New players have entered the industry and are expected to continue to do so as industry profit margins rebound following weak demand during the global financial crisis,” says Chia. The industry exhibits a low level of market share concentration. Major players include Accenture Australia Holdings Pty Ltd, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and KPMG. Over the next five years, the industry is set to continue growing. Business conditions are expected to improve, as low interest rates and rising business spending translate into greater demand for Management Consultants industry services. Firms that are still seeking cost-cutting measures and greater operating efficiencies will continue to use industry services. Digital services will become increasingly popular, with the proliferation of online services representing an area of growth that industry operators can assist with. Growth in the Asia-Pacific region and in new sustainability programs will present opportunities for management consultant firms.
