The main contributors to quarterly growth in Final demand were:
- Heavy and civil engineering construction (+1.8%), due to increases in wages and materials driven by public sector investment in transport infrastructure projects.
- Output of building construction (+1.8%), due to house builders capitalising on improved buyer interest by increasing base prices and reducing bonus offers to pass through material cost increases.
- Petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing (+12.1%), due to increases in global crude oil prices, influenced by increasing demand and ongoing OPEC+ supply cuts.
Offsetting the rise were price falls in:
- Electricity supply, gas supply; and water supply, sewerage and drainage services (-2.5%), due to falls in contractual pricing on electricity supply.
- Commercial fishing (-12.7%), due to increased seasonal supply of King prawns.
The continuation of industry recovery is reflected in the annual results, the rise of 2.2% to June 2021 is the strongest annual increase since September 2014.

Construction
Input to the house construction industry
Input prices to the house construction industry rose 2.6%
Input prices to house construction rose due to Federal Homebuilder and state-based grants driving demand for housing. Shortages for some materials have placed further upward pressure on prices.
Over the past twelve months, Input to house construction prices rose 4.0%, due to; Other metal products (+3.8%) and Plumbing products (+6.0%).

Output prices of the construction industries
Building construction prices rose 1.9% this quarter and 3.3% over the past twelve months.
Federal and state (Western Australia and Tasmania) based Homebuilder grants coupled with government investment in infrastructure has resulted in increased activity, driving demand for labour and putting upward pressure on material prices.
The quarterly price movements by class were:
- House construction (+1.7%)
- Other residential building construction (+1.9%)
- Non-residential construction (+2.0%)

Other residential construction prices recorded its largest increase since the September quarter 2008. The price rise was driven by increases in materials and trade costs across all states. Rises in head contractor margins and preliminary costs were also recorded in Tasmania. Increased demand for skilled trades and the availability of jobs for tender allowed subcontractors to pass on price increases in materials and labour costs previously absorbed by a reduction in margins.
Over the past twelve months Other residential building construction prices rose 1.7%.

Input to the coal mining industry
Input prices to the coal mining industry rose 1.5%, due to:
- Petroleum and coal product manufacturing, driven by an increase in diesel prices reflecting rising global crude oil prices and continued recovery in domestic demand for transport fuel.
- Structural metal product manufacturing, driven by an increase in steel prices resulting from increasing global iron ore prices.
Over the past twelve months Input prices to the coal mining industry rose 2.7%.

- Metal ore mining to manufacturing (+8.1%), due to tight global supplies and an increasing demand for steel and copper.
- Primary metal and metal product to manufacturing (+7.6%), due to strong international demand in steel, aluminium and copper, driven by increases in construction activity, and continuing supply shortages are driving the increases.
- Oil and gas extraction to manufacturing (+5.8%), due to increases in global crude oil prices driven by continued recovery in demand for transport fuel and ongoing OPEC+ production cuts.
Offsetting the rise, were price falls in:
- Electricity supply to manufacturing (-3.0%), due to contract re-negotiation and fixed costs spread over higher consumption.
- Coal mining to manufacturing (-5.0%), due to the impact of China’s ban on Australian black coal causing a temporary excess in domestic supply.

- Petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing (+11.7%), due to increases in global crude oil prices, driven by continued recovery in demand for transport fuel and ongoing OPEC+ production cuts.
- Meat processing manufacturing (+4.9%), due to high demand from Japan for high quality Australian beef, increased consumption of BBQ meats during the US summer and tight global supply.
- Iron smelting and steel manufacturing (+6.3%), due to rising global iron ore prices and increased demand for steel.
Offsetting the rise, were price falls in:
- Confectionery manufacturing (-6.7%), driven by discounting due to Easter and Mother’s Day promotions on chocolate.
- Alumina production (-2.6%), driven by China’s emissions targets discouraging demand due to the implementation of restrictions on aluminium smelting operations to reduce carbon emissions.

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
There are revisions in this issue due to the incorporation of more up-to-date data for the March quarter 2021 Accommodation index. There is no impact on PPI Final Demand.
The series impacted are annotated in the time series spreadsheet Table 20.
