Australia’s food and beverage industry looks upbeat

One out of every three manufacturing jobs in Australia is in the food and grocery sector, which directly employs around 300,000 people. The food and beverage market in Australia is climbing greater heights, buoyed by a growing population with an appetite for good food. Jeffrey Bahar, Deputy Chief Executive Office of Spire Research and Consulting, highlighted the key opportunities in this sector during his presentation at the Sydney Franchise and Business Expo in August 2015.

As the population of Australia is set to reach 23.5 million in 2014, the food and beverage industry looks upbeat. A major portion of the population is present in the cities, like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. The weekly average household spending per person on restaurant meals in these cities is AUD32 –a ripe market opportunity.

Bahar opined that food industry growth is directly proportional to the number of food outlets. With 58,602 commercial outlets and 15,954 institutionalized outlets recorded in 2012-13, the food services sector contributes approximately USD33 billion or 3% to the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Australia.

Moreover, Australians have defined their out-of-home dining habits. For this, many regions in Australia are well-known for their specialization in particular cuisines and beverages. For instance, New South Wales offers an ethnically diverse foodservice market; Melbourne is famous as the coffee capital of the nation while the Gold Coast and Adelaide boast an established Food and Wine landscape.

The Covid-19 pandemic officially marks a grim second year this year. Nonetheless, there is some optimism among scientists that while the virus will become endemic, its threat to human life could reduce over time. In the first of a three-part Spirethoughts instalment examining analysts’ predictions for the new year ahead, we look at 3 economic and social trends that are likely to affect the global economy in 2022. Debt and inflation to grow . Global debt accelerated during the pandemic as governments continued to borrow. Twenty-five nations, including the US and China, now have total debt amounting to more than 300% of GDP, as central banks contribute to inflation by printing money, deepening the debt trap. Inflation, while on the rise, seems unlikely to hit the historic double-digit levels of the 1970s, as government spending should ease in 2022. Industries overheat amid global warming “greenflation”.

A new year means hopes for better global economic growth. What lies ahead? Leon Perera, Chief Executive Officer of Spire Research and Consulting, shared his insights in Business Times – Singapore.

Ethiopia’s Strategic Cooperation with China

Over the past decade, Ethiopia has experienced an average economic growth rate of about 10%. Ethiopia is expected to grow by 8.5% in 2018, topping China’s projected growth of 6.5%.

China leads the way in global tourism

Between the years 2019 to 2025, one in seven of the estimated 173 million tourists to the world’s top 300 cities will be from China. Will China continue to lead global tourism growth? Leon Perera, Chief Executive Officer of Spire Research and Consulting, shared his viewpoint on the global tourism industry in China Daily – Asia Weekly section on 19 June 2019. China is leading the booming global tourism industry as the world is adjusting to the new world order in global trade. Perera highlighted that iconic cities like Rome, Paris, Tokyo and New York are still preferred by tourists. But a small proportion of tourists, driven by interest in wildlife and heritage, is contributing to a growing trend of tourism to nature reserves and rural areas. In 2019, the world’s top 300 cities will account for almost 50 per cent of the global international travelers while being home to just 20 per cent of the world’s population.
