Plumbing services in Australia are forecast to generate $16.6 billion in revenue in 2019/20 and is set to increase by an average of 7.1% per year to 2024/25. This growth stems from improved demand from the residential and non-building infrastructure markets, a forecast upswing in housing investment and a strong outlook for household disposable income.
There is a high demand for qualified plumbers who can supervise teams of workers, as there is a large skills shortage in building and construction. The shortage has driven demand for technically skilled workers who can successfully troubleshoot and solve differing varieties of plumbing systems.
