Overview
Australia's stock turnover ratio stood at 42.83% in 2025, a decline of +5.83pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 42.83% by 2025. Australia ranked 13th globally.
Australia’s stock turnover ratio has risen sharply from a low of 5.15 % in 1979, the series’ trough, to 42.83 % in 2025, placing the country 13th globally. The rapid acceleration peaked in 2008 at 122.79 % before receding to current levels, reflecting the impact of the global financial crisis on inventory dynamics and subsequent structural adjustments in the Australian economy. Over the 47‑year span, the ratio has increased more than eightfold, outpacing peers such as the Russian Federation (41.99 %) and Thailand (49.85 %) in recent years, yet remaining below India’s 49.20 % level. The upward trajectory suggests that firms are increasingly efficient in converting stock into sales, driven by advances in supply‑chain technology and tighter working‑capital management. Continued adoption of digital inventory systems and further integration with global markets could sustain the rise, although a resurgence of commodity price volatility or tighter credit conditions might temper future gains.
