Market Growth Factors
Because a growing amount of money allocates to venture capital and buyout investments, Australian institutions, superannuation funds and family offices invest in both fast growing startups and well-established companies with strong growth potential. Technology companies, fintech, healthcare, and renewables have attracted growing interest from investors. Fund commitments have increasingly focused on private equity investments into infrastructure assets, such as digital infrastructure, transport, and renewable energy. When government policies and business regulations support and promote innovation and entrepreneurship, Australia attracts private equity firms for investment. Companies backed by private equity outperform public companies, attracting more private equity investors to the country. This has caused competition among firms to be fierce for quality deals and high valuations.

Infrastructure and real estate are expected to have the highest growth. Economic development and urbanization have caused private equity funds to increasingly turn to large-scale infrastructure investments in the areas of transportation, energy, and telecommunications for long-term returns. And there are indications that property funds management is beginning to consolidate following increasing demand for real estate from the population growth, urbanization and economic growth which has increased demand for commercial and residential property. Growing foreign direct investment and government investment in infrastructure drive investment flows. Sustainable and ESG investing is shaping private equity strategy and priorities towards more sustainable investments, including in real estate and infrastructure. Further, firms have shown an understanding that ESG performance is linked with long-term financial return and risk.

Another trend in the Australian private equity market is a strong focus on small and mid-cap opportunities as investors look at smaller companies for growth in a volatile market and their ability to be nimble and react quickly. With the perception that they are less sensitive to fluctuations in economic cycles and regulations, and with inflation under control and interest rates normalizing, private equity firms have increasingly used available capital to acquire undervalued assets in sectors including healthcare, technology and renewable energy. Operational improvements and planned buying are the next big value creation sources. Another area to grow is through creative exits. Firms are increasingly using partial sell-down, backdoor and secondary sales to create liquidity, rather than just an IPO, and to optimize exit timing and valuations.
