Authentic Aussie products get the thumbs up

More than four in five (86%) Australians say buying Australian-made products is important to them.

That’s according to market research company Roy Morgan, which also found that just 2% of those surveyed said this wasn’t important.

Why it matters

There’s a feelgood factor associated with buying Australian – an instant boost for relevant brands. “A large majority of four in five Australians indicated feeling a positive emotion when they buy Australian-made products,” says Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine.
