Unveiling a national growth rate for Australia and a Macro-View of Aotearoa New Zealand

An Australian Research Data Growth Rate

After the completion of the 2021 Macro View of Australia’s research data demonstrated that establishing growth rates based on historical data volumes from research organisations proved difficult, the Macro View 2022 was initiated. With the help of research organisations across Australia, the 2022 Macro View of Australia’s research data has estimated an average annual growth rate of ~22% across the sector.
