20th August 2026

The latest import data shows the lowest quarter in years by units, a drop on short and medium term measures, although total value is close to the previous year.

Quarterly Reports provide updates on the latest quarter and the most recent full year, which in this case is the 2026 financial year.

For musical instruments and accessories, the quarterly import trend for the past 18 months has remained close to the 10-year average, with the four periods in 2025 sitting above that average and the two periods in 2026 so far just below it.

The same analysis for Pro Audio categories is not so stable, and the June 2026 result is also lower than June 2025, but the two periods in 2026 are higher than the 10-year average.

The full quarterly report is available to AMA members and contains seven more tables and the full set of tidy data, showing year to date & quarterly imports for every category.
