This is the 14th major study of the bulky goods property market in Australia undertaken by BIS Shrapnel.

The report traces the development of the bulky goods phenomenon — from its first boom phase based on the construction of multi-tenanted centres to the current wave of expansion driven by home improvement superstores — and assesses the outlook for bulky goods retailing in Australia.

Forecasts of consumer demand for bulky goods items are provided by sub-sector over the next five years. Expected economic conditions and other factors influencing consumer expenditure are incorporated into the forecasts. Demographic factors underpinning demand are also considered.
 
On the supply side, our extensive database underpins our forecasts for new bulky goods centres and freestanding superstores by state and major metropolitan area.

The report provides 5 year forecasts of rents, yields and capital values for bulky goods centres. Future market balance is assessed and investment risk and return issues are addressed.
