Sport and Camping Equipment Retailing in New Zealand Industry Data and Analysis
The Sport and Camping Equipment Retailing industry has been subject to turbulent times. After enjoying a pandemic-driven sales surge, thanks to restrictions boosting demand for home gym and camping equipment, retailers have since faced a much more challenging market. As international travel resumed and inflation took hold, retailers felt the sting of declining discretionary income, wavering consumer sentiment and increased cost pressures, all of which translated to weaker sales and tighter margins. Despite these hurdles, recent Stats NZ data suggests a glimmer of hope, with improving economic conditions set to support an uptick in sales between 2024 and 2026. Overall, revenue is expected to climb at an annualised 0.5% over the five years through 2025-26, to $2.3 billion. This includes an upswing of 1.5% anticipated in the current year owing to the prospect of stabilising inflationary pressure and lower interest rates, which will improve retail spending patterns.
