Government support for organisations in the Community Associations and Other Interest Groups industry had been limited in the years before 2019-20 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Some industry organisations have sought revenue streams from alternative sources, like business partnerships and household donations, to compensate for limited funding. During the pandemic, stay-at-home requirements and limits on gathering sizes made fundraising for industry associations more challenging. Lower government funding for social assistance prior to 2019-20 led some community organisations to limit their services to reduce expenditure. But then funding and demand for industry services increased strongly in 2019-20 due to the Australian bushfires over the summer and the COVID-19 pandemic.While industry revenue has weakened slightly overall, the variety of community organisations and interest groups that exist has helped limit the declines. Revenue is expected to decline at an average annualised 0.1% over the five years through 2022-23, to $10.1 billion. This trend includes an anticipated drop of 3.0% in 2022-23, driven by economic uncertainty and a spike in the cost of living. In addition to the large number of people employed by community associations and organisations, hundreds of thousands of volunteers help achieve a broader reach in an industry that heavily relies on human capital.Community associations and interest groups are set to benefit from household discretionary incomes climbing and expanding demand from community services. Lower government funding for social assistance will support demand for industry services. The industry profit margins are poised to remain slim as organisations struggle to lift donations in an increasingly competitive environment. Despite this, many large organisations are on track to develop their suite of services to attract younger demographics and raise revenue. Overall, revenue is forecast to rise at an average annualised 1.4% over the five years through 2027-28, to $10.8 billion.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 0.1 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $10.1bn in 2023.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
