New Zealand Construction Market Size, Trend Analysis by Sector (Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential) and Forecast, 2023-2027

Summary

GlobalData expects New Zealand’s construction industry to grow by 1.8% in real terms in 2023, following an estimated growth of 2.5% in 2022. Growth is expected to slow this year due to the impact of elevated material, energy and labor costs and the continued tightening of monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), on both economic and construction industry growth in the coming quarters.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, between 2024 and 2027, New Zealand’s construction industry is expected to record an annual average growth of 3.3%, supported by investment in transport, energy, and housing projects. With an investment of NZD34.6 billion ($21.5 billion), the government plans to develop land transport services across the country under the 2021–24 National Land Transport Program (NLTP). Construction industry growth will also be supported by the government’s aim to generate 100% of its electricity demand from renewable sources by 2030 and achieve its net-zero emissions target by 2050.

In October 2022, the government announced that it will invest NZD192 million ($119.3 million) in several housing developments and infrastructure projects across parts of regional New Zealand. More than half of the new funding – NDZ98.9 million ($61.5 million) will go towards Lower Hutt’s RiverLink and Valley Floor intensification project. Through this investment, the government is also expected to supply 11,500 homes across multiple housing developments over the next 10-15 years, including affordable and public housing.
