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.

“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.
