Industries of Australia

Mining Industry of Australia

Australia has the 10th largest natural recourses reserves in the world. In the last two decades, minus one or two hiccups, the mining industry's Gross Value Added (GVA) has only doubled. The GDP share has been 10.4%, while the machinery has represented 14% of all Australian imports. Australia has made hundreds of billions of dollars through this industry

The mining industry is diverse and rich when it comes to Australia. The country has the largest coal reserves and is the biggest coal exporter. In 2018 alone, 300 million metric tons of coal was mined from the Kangaroo land, which accounted for 40 billion AUD.

The country is also rich in gold – the largest reserves globally – which has lured over many immigrants over the years. Similarly, Australia leads the world in lithium mining – something of growing global demand – and iron ore mining.

In short, the gigantic mining industry speaks for itself when it comes to mining equipment of the highest quality. That is why at Camamach, we have just the equipment you would need to make profits in the Australian mining industry.

Construction Industry of Australia

Australia's construction industry makes over $360 billion, which accounts for 9% of the GDP. With an annual growth rate projected at 2.4% in the next half-decade, the country is ripe for business in the construction industry.

The population is increasing, which means lots of construction projects for infrastructure. Though COVID paused many construction projects, the industry will now bounce back harder than ever. That is why we at Camamach bring you construction equipment of the highest quality, especially when 14% of the country's imports comprise machinery.

  • Port of Brisbane

What heavy machinery or equipment does Australia Import?

Australia spends billions of dollars importing heavy machinery. In 2018, the country spent 46.2 billion AUD on machinery import. Some of the imported equipment include Beneficiation Equipment, Screening Equipment, Asphalt Concrete Paver, Mobile Crushers, and much more.

What regulations are there on importing equipment to Australia?

Importing machinery and equipment in Australia needs to meet the Biosecurity Act of 2015. Imported machinery must be inspected with biosecurity measures 12 miles off Australia's seashore. Used machinery needs to be cleansed of any foreign biomaterial such as soil or plants, followed by further verification materials. You'll need to follow government portal guidelines to be eligible for importing machinery on Australian soil.

Why should Australia import equipment?

Australia is a country with endless reserves, and the majority of the land isn't even inhabited. Exploiting the fullest extent of natural resources and land will require machinery and equipment. Here are some reasons why Australia should import equipment:

  • High Equipment Cost: International markets become comparatively cheaper when an industry dominates domestically. Domestic equipment can cost more as competition increases.
  • Equipment Quality: Domestic brand quality can vary, but international distributors maintain a reputation built on quality and cost savings.
