Revenue, profitability & financial strength
Annual accounts availability
The measured Australia identity-to-filing probe did not produce a qualifying designated legal or national-ID join: bare ticker overlaps lack a recorded ASX exchange designation and are not designated legal or national identifiers.
Web traffic, app reach and release cadence
How the Australia companies on this page show up online: the sites people visit, the apps they install, and how often those apps ship.
Most-installed apps
40 of these companies (1.9%) publish at least one Android app — 45 apps in all, carrying 6.8M installs between them.
| App | Installs | Rating | Store category |
|---|---|---|---|
| BOM WeatherBureau of Meteorology | 5.1M | 4.4 | Weather |

| My TangoTango Energy | 19.2K | 4.3 | Business |
| Recycle MateRecyclemate | 18.2K | — | Education |
Installs are lifetime totals to date at the June 2026 store reading — a measure of reach, not of people using an app today.
App reach by segment
The busiest app inside each of this page’s own segments, with the quarterly release trend behind it (2023Q1–2025Q3).
| Segment | Apps | Installs | Leading app | Release trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air Management Services | 4 | 5.2M | BOM Weather 5.1M | |
| Wind Energy | 3 | 1.2M | AGL 1.2M | |

| Renewable Energy Tech | 3 | 44.1K | Smart Energy 34.2K | |
| Energy Storage | 3 | 25.2K | B-TEC Battery Monitor 21.5K |
A company can carry several segment tags, so these rows overlap and should not be added together. Trend lines are zero-based and share one quarter grid, so a flat line is a quiet segment, not a missing one.
Release cadence by quarter
New apps published, beside apps whose most recent update landed in that quarter — the second bar is how much of the shelf is still being maintained.
Darker bars are new releases, lighter bars apps updated. 26 of 45 apps carry a release date. The series ends at 2025Q4, the last quarter that closed before the June 2026 reading.

Where demand signals run ahead of mapped supply — Australia
Compare demand signals in Australia’s newsflow with the environment categories mapped to each signal.
Signal percentile − supply percentile = gap in percentile points. Positive gaps highlight questions to investigate. A high signal can reflect spending pressure or access friction, as well as potential demand.
The comparison is relative to the signal families on this page. A supply percentile of zero means the lowest relative reading, not zero companies. It is a prioritisation clue, not measured market size or unmet demand.
The opportunity, in one view
Signal and mapped-supply percentiles, their gap, and change in the signal’s article share.

Clear definitions for making better comparisons.
What does this landscape measure?
It measures the tracked company ecosystem, recorded funding, hiring and other available evidence. It is not a market-size estimate.
Can segment counts be added together?
No. A company can belong to several segments, so segment counts and funding can overlap.
What does a missing figure mean?
A dash or unavailable panel means the current reviewed source snapshot does not support that figure.
Company ecosystem snapshot: 6 August 2026. Funding is recorded in USD; filed accounts retain their stated currency and reporting basis. Each section identifies its own coverage. The news and research behind these sections is explorable in Prism.
