Health and life sciences industry outlook 2026 - 2031
The health and life sciences sector – spanning pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnology, and nutritional supplements, is characterised by stable, long-term demand that is largely independent of economic fluctuations. This demand stems from essential health needs, an ageing population, and the rising prevalence of chronic illness in Australia. As of 2023, 17% of Australians are aged 65 and over, up from 11% in the early 1990s. Combined with the fact that nearly half the population now lives with at least one chronic condition, the need for pharmaceutical, medical, and preventive health products is expected to remain strong through to 2031.
Despite Australia being a net importer of pharmaceutical and medical devices, the country plays a key role in global supply chains, particularly in high-value exports. Australia's reputation for quality, regulatory rigour, and medical innovation gives local manufacturers a competitive edge in international markets. “Made in Australia” medicines, devices, and supplements are trusted in Asia and other key trading partners, thanks in part to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which sets internationally recognised safety standards. Australia’s geographic proximity to Southeast Asia and India also supports its export growth in life sciences, particularly in supplements and diagnostics.
Australia’s position in the global health supply chain is further strengthened by supportive government frameworks. Programs like the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) have subsidised prescription medicines for nearly 70 years, creating a stable domestic market. R&D tax incentives and direct funding through the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) and Modern Manufacturing Initiative have supported growth in pharmaceuticals, medtech, and biotech manufacturing. These efforts are now being expanded to reduce supply vulnerabilities and enhance sovereign production capabilities, particularly in critical products like vaccines and biologics.
The pharmaceutical sector reached approximately A$13 billion in market value by 2025, with exports of specialised medicines and plasma-based therapeutics topping A$2.66 billion in 2023. Pharmaceutical manufacturing alone contributed around A$3.4 billion in industry value-added (IVA) in 2022, roughly 3% of total manufacturing output. Australia’s medical devices sector generated over A$11 billion in revenue, with exports bolstered by success stories such as Cochlear and ResMed, global leaders in hearing and respiratory technologies. Biotechnology continues to grow steadily, with revenues forecast to exceed A$10 billion by 2027, driven by strengths in immunology, oncology, and genomics. Meanwhile, the nutritional supplements industry, valued at A$6.2 billion, continues to expand, with A$1.2 billion in exports in 2023 alone, mainly to China and Southeast Asia.
As these sectors grow, so does the demand for specialised talent. The industry already employs over 70,000 skilled professionals across research, production, regulatory affairs, and biomanufacturing. However, employers report persistent shortages in key areas such as clinical trials, pharmacology, advanced manufacturing, and data analytics.
Fuse Recruitment specialises in connecting employers across pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotech, and supplements with high-quality candidates. Our network includes R&D scientists, regulatory experts, production engineers, and operations managers – all with experience navigating the unique compliance and technical standards of the sector. With our expertise, Fuse Recruitment gives you a competitive advantage in securing the talent you need to grow and innovate in a complex, regulated industry.
As demand for health and life science products continues to rise, our specialised recruitment services can help your business attract the talent needed to thrive through 2031. Contact us to learn more.
