INDUSTRY TRENDS - SPOTLIGHT ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Australia’s Information Technology landscape is shifting fast, powered by a surge in AI adoption, cloud expansion, and a renewed national focus on digital capability. As organisations race to modernise operations and the government sharpens its innovation agenda, Australia's IT sector is entering one of its most transformative periods yet.

👉Here are the trends shaping Australia’s digital future and what they mean for businesses ready to move.

🔹AI everywhere: From sovereign strategy to enterprise adoption, AI is fast becoming foundational to competitiveness, automation, and national capability. Organisations are expanding beyond generative AI into real‑time intelligence and operational AI to improve scalability and productivity.

🔹Australia is experiencing a surge in cloud adoption and hyperscale data‑centre expansion with data centre spending forecast to grow 22.5% in 2026, primarily driven by AI and digital‑government needs.

🔹Cybersecurity remains one of the fastest‑growing IT spending categories with rising threat levels and regulatory pressure driving continuous investment.

🔹Australia is facing a severe digital‑skills gap across industries with up to 150,000 enterprises experiencing significant digital‑skills shortages. These skills shortages are the biggest barrier to digital transformation and innovation.

🔹Australia is rethinking how to stay competitive with the tech sector now calling for a stronger national digital‑economy strategy and clearer AI policy frameworks.

🔹In 2026, software spending will overtake IT services and is forecast to reach A$60 billion, growing 13.6%.

🔹Technology is now one of Australia’s most important productivity engines. At nearly 9% of the economy, the tech sector contributed A$248.5 billion (8.9% of GDP) in 2025.

Whether you’re preparing to sell, planning your next move, or simply looking to future‑proof your business, staying informed is essential. ABBA Group helps business owners navigate this shifting environment with clarity and confidence, ensuring they understand how technology trends influence valuation, buyer demand, and long‑term opportunity.

INDUSTRY TRENDS - SPOTLIGHT ON LOGISTICS

Australia’s logistics sector is shifting fast — and for business owners planning an exit or investors looking to acquire, these trends are reshaping valuations:

• AI‑enabled operations are becoming a key value driver and businesses with predictive routing, automation, or strong data visibility are commanding stronger multiples.

• Warehousing is moving toward flexible, automated models. Operators with scalable 3PL partnerships or automation in place are more attractive to buyers.

• Rising costs are separating resilient operators from vulnerable ones. Lean, tech‑enabled logistics businesses are outperforming those relying on manual processes.

• Climate compliance is now a competitive advantage. Companies with emissions reporting and climate‑resilient networks are winning major contracts — and buyer interest.

• Last‑mile innovation continues to fuel demand. E‑commerce‑aligned logistics businesses remain some of the hottest assets on the market.

For owners, now is the time to strengthen digital capability and operational resilience. For buyers, the best opportunities are businesses already adapting to these shifts.
