New Zealand - Market OpportunitiesNew Zealand - Market Opportunities
New Zealand industries across the board are receptive to new and innovative technologies that reduce costs and increase productivity. Agribusiness, New Zealand’s leading business sector, is an example where mechanization is becoming increasingly vital for instance to increasing farm production.
New Zealand’s building and construction sector are a significant part of the economy and although the sector is performing strongly, New Zealand has a housing affordability shortage. The Labour-led Government has committed US$1.5 billion to the KiwiBuild program to deliver 100,000 quality homes for first home buyers over the next decade. Half of the new homes will be in Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city. The Kiwibuild program promises to include innovative building products and practices to help build the new homes.
Around 92% of all freight (by weight) is transported within New Zealand by road. The Government is committed to upgrading New Zealand’s existing infrastructure. Cornerstone to the program is the “Road of National Significance” road upgrade plans inclusive of airports and sea ports. Machinery and new technologies have a key role for supporting this 30-year project.
