Index reference period: 2011-12 - 100.0.

The main contributors to quarterly growth in Final demand were:

Output of building construction (+2.8%), due to continuing skilled labour shortages, high freight costs and timber and metal supply constraints.
Heavy and civil engineering construction (+2.6%), due to an increase in prices for diesel and construction materials, ongoing labour shortages and high import costs.
Electricity, gas and water (+9.8%), due to annual electricity supply costing reviews, reflecting high wholesale electricity costs and large rises in electricity futures prices.

The annual rise of 6.4% in Final demand to September 2022 is the strongest increase since the series began in September 1998.

House construction prices rose 4.2%

House construction prices increased across all states this quarter, with South Australia and Tasmania showing the strongest increases, while price growth slowed in both the Northern Territory and Western Australia. Higher freight costs and tight supplies of timber, steel, and insulation, combined with ongoing shortages for skilled trades, continue to place pressure on construction input costs.

Over the past twelve months House construction prices rose 20.5%.

Non-residential construction prices rose 1.8%

Non-residential construction prices increased across all states this quarter. Material price rises are being driven by elevated steel, reinforcement and concrete prices and continuing higher freight costs. Increased activity in the non-residential market, and ongoing competition for skilled trades from across the construction and mining industries has placed additional pressure on labour cost.

Over the past twelve months Non-residential building construction prices rose 9.2%.

The main contributors to input price rises to the manufacturing industries were:

Oil and gas extraction to manufacturing (+15.2%), due to the passing through of wholesale gas prices to accommodate increasing demand and costs associated with ensuring energy supplies were undisrupted throughout the quarter.

Basic chemical and chemical product to manufacturing (+6.0%), due to a tightened global supply of caustic soda and high energy costs driving up production costs.
Electricity to manufacturing (+13.7%), due to annual electricity supply costing reviews, reflecting high wholesale electricity costs and large rises in electricity futures prices.

Offsetting the rise, was a price fall in:

Metal ore mining to manufacturing (-8.6%), due to falls in copper and nickel prices as investor demand decreases, driven by concerns around future demand in a slowing global economy.
Coal mining to manufacturing (-41.9%), due to a fall in demand for coking coal in China due to a decrease in crude steel production.
Primary metal and metal product manufacturing to manufacturing (-2.9%), due to stainless steel prices decreasing as the price of nickel falls.

Energy costs and basic chemicals drive increase in quarterly input prices to manufacturing

The main contributors to Output price rises of the manufacturing industries were:

Cheese and other dairy product manufacturing (+6.3%), driven by cheese exports due to a rise in untreated milk, freight and packaging coupled with high international energy costs, driving up global cheese prices.
Basic inorganic chemical manufacturing (+26.6%), due to a global shortage of lithium as demand for electric vehicle batteries increases.
Prepared animal and bird feed manufacturing (+9.6%), due to the passing through of higher grain costs resulting from supply disruptions in the Black Sea region.

Offsetting the rise were price falls in:

Petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing (-5.2%), due to decreasing crude oil prices and refinery margins, and a fall in global demand for petrol.
Other basic non-ferrous metal manufacturing (-5.1%), due to a fall in investor demand for gold as financial investments become more desirable with rising interest rates.
Alumina production (-17.5%), due to reduced demand from China as energy shortages have led to a decrease in aluminium smelter operations.

Output of manufacturing prices increases were largely offset by falls in petroleum fuel, gold and alumina prices this quarter

Using price indexes

Price indexes in contracts

Price indexes published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) provide summary measures of the movements in various categories of prices over time. They are published primarily for use in Government economic analysis. Price indexes are also often used in contracts by businesses and government to adjust payments and/or charges to take account of changes in categories of prices (Indexation Clauses).

Use of Price Indexes in Contracts sets out a range of issues that should be taken into account by parties considering including an Indexation Clause in a contract using an ABS published price index.

Changes in this release

The September quarter 2022 issue of the Producer Price Indexes includes re-weighted price indexes for:

3011 Outputs of House construction
3019 Outputs of Other residential building construction
3020 Outputs of Non-residential building construction

See the full history of changes.

Additional information

No. 6427.0), has been paused indefinitely as a result of changing priorities within the ABS as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
