General practitioners (GPs) provide a range of medical services to patients, including check-ups, diagnoses and prescriptions. Operators in the General Practice Medical Services industry are the first point of contact in New Zealand's health system. For the most part, external factors exert limited influence on demand for GPs, which remains relatively steady. Even so, the industry has benefited from increased public health expenditure in recent years, which surged especially strongly during the COVID-19 vaccination program in 2021-22. An influx of Central Government (Te Kawanatanga o Aotearoa) funding has enabled many general practices to improve the services they provide to patients.
Industry operators primarily provide general practice medical services in private or group medical clinics and centres.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
