Strategy 2026
Western Australia and the World
The release of CCIWA’s flagship Business Strategy report concludes a turbulent and fast-moving year for Australian businesses. The challenges that defined last year’s report—most notably inflation and operating in a high-cost environment—have given way to a new set of disruptive forces.
Where stability has traditionally underpinned growth, disruption to trade and technology is increasingly being used as a lever for geopolitical influence on the global stage. While this shift carries risk, it also presents new opportunities for Australian businesses prepared to adapt and respond.
Now more than ever, understanding current economic conditions, how they may evolve, and what this means for your business is essential. The objective of Business Strategy is to equip businesses with the insight and support needed to navigate the opportunities and challenges facing Western Australia as we move toward 2026. Central to this is the identification of practical, relevant and implementable strategic opportunities across key focus areas to help businesses stay ahead of the curve.
To achieve this, the report explores the global and local events and economic trends most likely to shape the business environment, alongside our expectations for the future. As many organisations turn their attention to strategic planning for the year ahead and beyond, we hope this report provides valuable context for what lies ahead.
Effective business strategy requires a strong understanding of the economic, political and social forces influencing the global, national and Western Australian operating environment. In this report, we explain in clear and accessible terms how current events and key economic trends are expected to impact business opportunities and risks in Western Australia, while outlining our outlook for the years ahead.
This report includes:
- Key nation summaries providing in-depth analysis of economic conditions across the world’s major economies.
- Global and state economic outlooks, including feature sections on commodities, foreign exchange and demographic change.
- Detailed analysis of the most significant challenges facing WA businesses, including cost pressures and labour shortages.
- WA business strategy effectiveness heatmaps, highlighting proven strategies used by local businesses to address these challenges.
- A dedicated section on Western Australia’s strategic and commercial advantages in a rapidly changing global economy.
With this insight, businesses will be better equipped to make informed decisions and capitalise on the emerging economic trends shaping Western Australia’s future.
