New Zealand Construction Market Size, Trend Analysis by Sector, Competitive Landscape and Forecast to 2027

Summary

GlobalData expects New Zealand’s construction industry to grow by 3.6% in real terms in 2023, before recording an average annual growth of 2.6% from 2024 to 2027. The industry’s output in the initial part of the forecast period will be supported by the rebuilding of infrastructure that was damaged by the Cyclone Gabrielle, which hit the country in early 2023. In May 2023, New Zealand's former government reported that it will allocate NZD1.1 billion ($683.7 million) to help communities recover from the cyclone and floods that hit the country in January 2023. The funding will be used to rebuild roads, rail and schools, and provide flood protection. Over the latter part of the forecast period, the industry’s growth will be supported by public infrastructure investment. As part of the May 2023 budget, the former government allocated NZD71 billion ($44.1 billion) for infrastructure investment over the next five years; this compares to an allocation of NZD45 billion ($28 billion) over the past five years. A further NZD6 billion ($3.7 billion) was allocated in initial funding for the National Resilience Plan, to support significant medium- and long-term infrastructure investment.

Forecast-period growth in the industry will also be supported by investment as part of the ‘’Public Housing Plan’, which aims to increase public housing supply in the country, with a special focus on areas that are experiencing high rates of population growth. The Ministry of Housing unveiled its “Updated Public Housing Plan: 2024 -2025” in late September 2023, outlining the locations of the 3,000 public homes that will be built by 2025.
