Perth is the commercial centre of Western Australia, with an economy closely connected to the state's internationally significant mining and energy industries. The city serves as a hub for resources companies and the engineering, technology and professional services businesses that support them. Its access to Asian markets also strengthens its role in international trade and investment.
Beyond resources, Perth supports a broad range of industries, including construction, retail, tourism, hospitality, education and healthcare. Universities, medical research organisations and technology businesses contribute to the city's economic diversity, while local businesses provide essential services to residents, visitors and the wider business community. These sectors create opportunities for enterprises ranging from cafés and accommodation providers to specialist consulting and service businesses.
Perth benefits from Western Australia's sustained economic growth. In 2025–26, the state's domestic economy grew by 3.5%, measured by State Final Demand, marking its seventh consecutive year of growth. Business investment increased by 6.5%, while housing investment and household spending also expanded. These statewide figures highlight the economic activity supporting demand for businesses and services across the capital.
Looking ahead, Perth's economic development is supported by opportunities in clean energy, mining technology, defence, international education and health and medical sciences. While resources remain central to its economic identity, investment in these additional sectors is helping broaden the city's business base and create new avenues for growth.
Perth offers considerable opportunities for business owners, alongside challenges that require careful management. Rising operating costs and difficulty attracting skilled staff remain significant pressures. In CCIWA's September 2026 survey, 80% of Western Australian businesses identified rising costs as a barrier to growth, while 56% reported labour shortages. For Perth businesses, these conditions reinforce the importance of efficient operations, competitive pricing and strong staff retention strategies.
The city's substantial pipeline of construction and infrastructure projects presents both opportunities and constraints. Activity across defence, healthcare, renewable energy and residential development supports demand for contractors, suppliers and specialist services. However, shortages of skilled tradespeople and pressure on construction capacity can increase costs and complicate project delivery. Businesses looking to expand premises or undertake major fit-outs should factor these conditions into their budgets and timelines.
New opportunities are also emerging as Perth broadens its economic base. Investment in defence, advanced manufacturing and clean energy is creating potential for businesses to enter new supply chains, particularly in engineering, fabrication, maintenance and technical services. Defence investment associated with AUKUS offers longer-term opportunities, although businesses seeking to participate need to prepare for the requirements of defence procurement.
Perth's strengths in education, healthcare, tourism and technology provide further avenues for business development. Its connections with Indo-Pacific markets support international relationships, while its research institutions and skilled workforce provide a foundation for innovation. For business owners and prospective buyers, the opportunity lies in identifying enterprises with sustainable margins, dependable staffing and a clear ability to meet demand within these sectors.
