Non-Ferrous Metal Product Manufacturing in New Zealand Industry Data and Analysis
The Non-Ferrous Metal Product Manufacturing industry has experienced mixed trading conditions over the past five years amid fluctuations in demand from key major markets down the supply chain. A recent slowdown in construction activities and machinery and equipment manufacturing, due to an economic downturn in which New Zealand has experienced technical recessions, has reversed earlier gains and depressed industry revenue. Although a depreciating New Zealand dollar has made exports more competitive, several factors – including the limited availability of raw materials and the significant strain experienced by the New Zealand economy – paused and reversed rapid revenue growth in 2022-23 and 2023-24. Manufacturers have made efforts to pass on cost increases through higher pricing, in an attempt to support profitability, but this has come at the cost of losing buyers. Higher prices have steered customers towards substitutes, intensifying external competition. Overall, industry revenue is expected to fall at an annualised 5.2% over the five years through 2025-26 to $652.7 million.
