New Zealand Defense Market Drivers
The key factors driving the New Zealand defense market growth are China’s increasing influence, modernization of the armed forces, and rising terrorism activities.
China’s increasing influence: Chinese strategic regional influence has increased drastically over the last decade owing to its burgeoning trade ties in the region. The increasing influence of China can also be attributed to its proclivity to announce extravagant and often bold investment initiatives. Chinese influence is a significant cause of concern for major nations as the country has been known to leverage its trade ties to extract strategic concessions. Moreover, the continued Chinese militarization of the East China and South China Seas poses a serious security risk to New Zealand. As a result, New Zealand is poised to invest in its defense budget to combat such security threats, which, in turn, will fuel New Zealand defense market growth in the coming years.

New Zealand Military Doctrines and Defense Strategies
Non-conventional security challenges that have implications for New Zealand’s security interests are shaping the current strategic environment of the country. For instance, North Korea and China continue to be a focal point of New Zealand’s doctrine. The defense forces have been traditionally trained for conventional military operations and the New Zealand defense forces must still do so. The New Zealand defense forces must also have the flexibility and versatility to continue to contribute to international efforts to counter asymmetric threats. The major challenges to the country include containing the fallout from increasing intrastate conflict and responding to the breakdown of law and order in weak, failing, and failed states among others.
A maritime security sector can deter adversaries, reduce harm to New Zealand’s communities, and exert effective Kaitiakitanga (guardianship) of the sea. The maritime security sector’s contribution to national security is guided by four interlocking pillars: Understand, Engage, Prevent, and Respond. These pillars describe how an efficient and effective system goes about achieving maritime security. The pillars are underpinned by two supporting principles – the multi-agency approach and Kaitiakitanga (guardianship). In addition, New Zealand’s maritime security sector comprises several government agencies and stakeholders with maritime domain risk management and support responsibilities. These agencies are brought together under the Maritime Security Oversight Committee (MSOC). The agencies are responsible for the incorporation of governance, policy, intelligence, and operational coordination functions.
