Event purpose - potential Australian market
Australia currently has a population of over 27 million, with nearly 10 million inbound tourists annually, creating massive market demand. Furthermore, the Australian market can serve as a gateway to the entire Oceania region.
The foodservice industry in Australia, including hospitality, airline catering, healthcare, and institutional catering in education and aged care, has shown steady growth in demand for commercial foodservice equipment and supplies. In recent years, the fast-food industry has developed rapidly, with annual consumer spending reaching AUD 30 billion. It is projected that the number of fast-food outlets will exceed 30,000 by 2030. Estimates indicate that Australia’s commercial foodservice equipment and supplies market has an annual sales scale of over AUD 2 billion. Due to limited local manufacturing capacity, more than 50% of these products rely on imports. The household kitchen and baking equipment and supplies market presents even greater demand.
In recent years, the Australian government has strengthened food safety and energy efficiency standards, driving the upgrading and replacement of foodservice equipment. Improvements in power and transportation networks have also increased the penetration rate of foodservice equipment. The application of smart, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly technologies has become key to enhancing the competitiveness of foodservice equipment.
Try to expand Australian market
China is the world's largest exporter of kitchen and catering equipment and supplies, with annual exports exceeding USD 60 billion. However, its exports to the Australian market amount to less than USD 300 million, accounting for less than 5% of total exports. This indicates immense potential for Chinese kitchen and catering equipment and supplies to expand their presence in Australia.
Chinese kitchen and catering equipment and supplies offer advantages such as low cost, strong price competitiveness, and a well-established supply chain. However, challenges include low brand recognition and differences in safety and environmental standards. To address these issues, it is essential to promote products through various local exhibitions and media channels in Australia, engage in face-to-face communication and collaboration with local professional organizations and buyers, and gain an in-depth understanding of local market standards and demands to achieve efficient market entry.
Currently, the main categories of kitchen and catering equipment and supplies exported from China to Australia include steel kitchenware, ceramic tableware, food processing machinery, and sterilized tableware. There remains significant opportunities to further develop markets for more product categories and higher-end products.
