INDUSTRY COMPOSITION

Of those industries available for publication, the industry which most heavily dominated manufacturing IVA in any state or territory was Printing, publishing and recorded media in the Australian Capital Territory (which accounted for 35% of the territory's manufacturing IVA, compared to 10% nationally). This was followed by Metal product manufacturing in Western Australia and Tasmania (33% and 28% respectively; nationally 19%), and Machinery and equipment manufacturing in South Australia (28%; nationally 20%). In addition, Wood and paper product manufacturing generated 18% of manufacturing IVA in Tasmania compared to 6% nationally.


Metal product manufacturing was the major manufacturing industry, as measured by share of IVA, in three states (Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania), and Machinery and equipment manufacturing in two others (South Australia and Victoria). Food, beverage and tobacco manufacturing was the largest manufacturing industry in New South Wales, and Printing, publishing and recorded media dominated in the Australian Capital Territory. This pattern is identical to that of 2004-05. Not all subdivisions are available for publication for the two territories.
