Producer Price Indexes, Australia, September 2024

What are the Producer Price Indexes (PPIs)?

What is Final demand?

Quarterly overview

Final demand increased 1.0% this quarter primarily driven by Property operators (+1.9%) and Residential building construction (+0.9%). Property operator prices rose driven by higher fees linked to increased rents as demand continues to outweigh supply. Building construction prices rose as the labour market remains tight.

Usual September quarter drivers of growth had a reduced impact compared to the same period last year, with start of financial year price reviews, price indexation clauses and the Fair Work Minimum Wage and Award wage rise coming into effect. Annual growth in the September quarter was 3.9%, marking a return to below 4.0% annual growth for the first time since September 2023.

The main offset to the rise was a fall in Petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing prices (-9.4%), due to reduced demand globally for fuels and oils. This, together with increased supply for non-OPEC producers, resulted in lower global crude oil prices which led to lower import and overall production costs.

Output of the construction industry

Building construction

Building construction prices rose 0.9% this quarter and 5.9% over the past twelve months.

Growth in Building construction prices was driven primarily by labour cost increases amid ongoing labour shortages for skilled tradespeople, with notable strong demand for electrical services across all types of building construction this quarter. Ongoing activity in the non-residential building market coupled with pressure from the civil sector continued to drive competition for limited resources such as labour and concrete, maintaining prices at elevated levels.

The quarterly price movements by class were:

House construction (+1.0%).
Other residential building construction (+0.8%).
Non-residential construction (+0.9%).

House construction prices rose 1.0%

House construction prices rose this quarter, driven by increases in Western Australia. Increased labour costs influenced by the ongoing skills shortage continued to be the main contributor to price increases across all states. Demand for house construction remains low for most states, with Western Australia a notable exception due to strong population growth and lower relative land prices compared to Eastern states.

Over the past twelve months, House construction prices have risen 4.4%.

Other residential building construction prices rose 0.8%

Growth in Other residential construction prices were driven by New South Wales and Victoria. The price rise was primarily due to increased labour costs caused by the ongoing shortages for skilled tradespeople and continued competing demand from a strong pipeline of non-residential infrastructure projects. Concrete and electrical services experienced price increases due to higher raw material and labour costs.

Over the past twelve months, Other residential building construction prices rose 6.9%.

The main contributors to the input price rise were:

Metal ore mining (+3.5%), driven by strong gold demand due to global geopolitical and economic uncertainties, despite large falls in iron ore.
Agriculture to manufacturing (+0.9%), driven by livestock shortages for beef and sheep, coupled with strong export demand placing upward pressure on prices, despite falling milk prices offsetting the effects.
Electricity supply (+5.2%), following the removal of the coal price caps, increasing the input costs for coal electricity generation.

Offsetting the rise were price falls in:

Oil and gas extraction (-2.7%), due to increasing crude oil supply from non-OPEC nations.
Coal mining (-16.5%), driven by weakened global steel demand reducing the price of imported metallurgical coal into steel production.

Using price indexes

Price indexes in contracts

Price indexes published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) provide summary measures of the movements in various categories of prices over time. They are published primarily for use in Government economic analysis. Price indexes are also often used in contracts by businesses and government to adjust payments and/or charges to take account of changes in categories of prices (Indexation Clauses).

Use of Price Indexes in Contracts sets out a range of issues that should be taken into account by parties considering including an Indexation Clause in a contract using an ABS published price index.

Changes in future issues

In the December quarter 2024 release, the Childcare Services Cost Index will be released as part of the Producer Price Index release. This is an analytical series which will measure changes in prices paid by childcare providers for the goods, services and labour required to provide childcare services to households. More detail on this series can be found in the information paper.
