New Zealand's construction industry has seen relatively continuous growth over the past decade, contributing around **** billion New Zealand dollars in gross domestic product (GDP) in the year ended March 2024. Nonetheless, in 2025, the country's construction industry GDP fell to **** billion dollars. Key construction segments In New Zealand, the construction sector includes residential builds, commercial builds, and infrastructure such as roads and energy services. All segments have grown due to increasing demand for housing, offices, roads, energy, fiber installation, and water supply. New Zealand’s housing market has been an important topic over the years, with larger metropolitan regions such as Auckland facing large housing shortages. The value of residential building consents issued across the nation grew consistently between 2017 and 2022 before witnessing a decline in 2023 and 2024. In terms of infrastructure construction starting in 2024, transportation and water infrastructure projects led by volume. Climate resilience of infrastructure Owing to its geographical location, New Zealand has a relatively high natural disaster risk, including flooding and cyclones. Following damages caused to properties, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure in 2023 and 2024 due to Cyclone Gabrielle, the East Coast floods, and several wildfires, the ability of the country's housing and infrastructure to withstand climate change has shifted into focus. Building new and adapting existing buildings and infrastructure to be more climate resilient is becoming vital in terms of preparedness and the smooth functionality of the construction pipeline as a whole to reduce cancellations, delays, and high rebuild costs.

Definition of MSTI variables 'Value Added of Industry' and 'Industrial Employment':

R&D data are typically expressed as a percentage of GDP to allow cross-country comparisons. When compiling such indicators for the business enterprise sector, one may wish to exclude, from GDP measures, economic activities for which the Business R&D (BERD) is null or negligible by definition. By doing so, the adjusted denominator (GDP, or Value Added, excluding non-relevant industries) better correspond to the numerator (BERD) with which it is compared to.

The MSTI variable 'Value added in industry' is used to this end:

It is calculated as the total Gross Value Added (GVA) excluding 'real estate activities' (ISIC rev.4 68) where the 'imputed rent of owner-occupied dwellings', specific to the framework of the System of National Accounts, represents a significant share of total GVA and has no R&D counterpart. Moreover, the R&D performed by the community, social and personal services is mainly driven by R&D performers other than businesses.

Consequently, the following service industries are also excluded: ISIC rev.4 84 to 88 and 97 to 98. GVA data are presented at basic prices except for the People's Republic of China, Japan and New Zealand (expressed at producers' prices).In the same way, some indicators on R&D personnel in the business sector are expressed as a percentage of industrial employment. The latter corresponds to total employment excluding ISIC rev.4 68, 84 to 88 and 97 to 98.

The Scientific Research Services industry has grown modestly, supported by a steady boost in business-led research activity and sustained government incentives. Industry revenue is expected to climb at an annualised 2.1% through the end of 2025-26, reaching $2.4 billion, including a modest increase of 1.2% in 2025-26. The introduction of the Research and Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) in 2019 has significantly contributed to this trend, driving private-sector demand and encouraging companies to outsource R&D functions to specialist providers. Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) have increasingly shifted towards commercially funded contracts, with some now deriving most of their revenue from business clients. This has diversified the industry’s client base and fuelled new investment in applied research capabilities. Government policies continue to play a key role in shaping industry activity. The Central Government (Te Kawanatanga o Aotearoa) has maintained a strong policy focus on raising R&D expenditure to 2.0% of GDP by 2028, alongside decarbonisation targets, accelerating demand for climate-related, environmental and sustainability research. Recent structural changes, including the consolidation of CRIs into new Public Research Organisations (PROs), aim to improve scientific research's coordination, funding and national impact. These reforms are set to strengthen long-term research capabilities and better align research delivery with national priorities. The shift towards digitally enabled research has also improved the operational flexibility of providers, with AI-powered modelling and cloud platforms reducing reliance on physical infrastructure and allowing smaller research providers to scale. Industry revenue is forecast to rise at a slower annualised rate of 1.8% through the end of 2030-31, reaching $2.7 billion. Increased commercialisation opportunities in agritech, biomedical science and sustainable development will support niche expansion. Rising demand for specialised services will continue to attract new entrants, particularly smaller firms and Maori-led research organisations. Even so, intensifying competition for skilled researchers and wage pressures may constrain profit margins. Still, industry profitability is expected to remain moderate, with profit as a share of revenue forecast to remain steady over the outlook period as efficiency gains offset heightened labour and compliance costs.
