Construction in New Zealand – Key Trends and Opportunities to 2021

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

In real terms, New Zealand’s construction industry registered an average annual growth rate of 7.3% during the review period (2012–2016). This growth was supported by government investments in the development of transport infrastructure, industrial parks, healthcare facilities and residential buildings.

The country’s construction industry is expected to continue to expand in real terms over the forecast period (2017–2021), driven by the government’s focus on the development of transport infrastructure, energy and utilities facilities.

Under the Thirty-Year New Zealand Infrastructure Plan 2015, the government plans to spend NZD157.9 billion (US$110.0 billion) to develop transport networks, reliable electricity infrastructure, clean drinking water pipelines, telecommunications infrastructure, schools and hospitals by 2025.

In real terms, the industry’s output value is forecast to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.04% over the forecast period, compared to 7.43% during the review period.

Scope

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the construction industry in New Zealand. It provides:

Key Highlights

• The government’s focus on providing affordable houses via social housing programs is expected to drive growth of the residential construction market over the forecast period. Under the Social Housing Reform Program, the government plans to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of affordable houses. For this, in 2016, the government announced plans to spend NZD207.4 million (US$144.5 million) to build affordable houses in the country by 2020, with an aim to build 100,000 affordable houses by 2025.

• The residential construction market is expected to be supported by rising residential building permits. According to Statistics New Zealand, total permits issued for the construction of houses across the country increased by 9.5%, rising from 18,012 units in 2015 to 19,721 units in 2016.

• The government is focusing on the construction and expansion of metro lines. The government plans to double the capacity of Auckland's metro rail network by 2020. Accordingly, under the City Rail Link (CRL) extension plan, it plans to build a new underground railway line through the Auckland city centre.

• The government launched the Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) and Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI2) in 2015. Under the RBI2 program, the government plans to provide at least 5 megabits per second (Mbps) to 90.0% of country’s rural population by 2025.

• The government’s commitment to providing a quality service in healthcare, as well as increased expenditures on healthcare and education, are expected to support the institutional construction market over the forecast period. In 2016 budget, the government increased its total spending on the healthcare sector by 29.4%, rising from NZD2.4 billion (US$1.7 billion) in 2015 to NZD3.2 billion (US$2.2 billion) in 2016.

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
