The Advertising and Market Research Services industry has faced volatile economic conditions. The overall weak economy, along with heightened inflation, has constrained industry demand, with many clients cancelling or postponing projects to reduce marketing budgets in response to heightened inflation and uncertainties. However, growth in R&D expenditure, number of businesses and household consumption expenditure has partially offset an overall decline in revenue. Industry revenue is expected to dip at an annualised 0.5% over the past five years, to total $2.8 billion in 2025-26, when revenue is anticipated to fall by 1.1%.Advertising agencies that have provided digital services have performed better, driven by online advertising’s growing popularity and greater social media use. Online advertising typically commands lower prices than traditional advertising and can reach the target audience more precisely thanks to improved marketing analytics, providing clients with a cost-effective solution and more measurable outcomes, allowing businesses to undertake more work. This has improved profitability for advertisers. Despite rising demand for online advertising, this growth has come at the expense of print and broadcast advertising as traditional advertising channels have seen a weaker audience base. Still, large-scale marketing projects use integrated advertising campaigns involving both traditional and new advertising channels to cover a large audience size.Businesses have continued to demand market research services to understand rapidly changing consumer trends and behaviour. Several global brands have undergone restructuring activities over the past few years, like the amalgamation of Kantar and Colmar Brunton in 2021-22, the cessation of Frost & Sullivan’s New Zealand operations in 2022-23 and Ipsos’s acquisition of CBG Health Research in 2024-25. Even so, these services are usually considered more discretionary compared with advertising and have been more heavily affected by economic uncertainties.Industry revenue is forecast to rise at an annualised 1.5% over the five years through 2030-31, to total $3.0 billion. The economy is set to continue recovering with inflation poised to ease, making businesses become more confident in expanding their market offerings, which will likely drive downstream demand for advertising and market research services. Downstream clients are slated to resume projects cancelled or postponed, supporting demand. Even so, high industry competition will reduce players' pricing capacity.

The Consulting Services industry has endured a mixed operating landscape in recent years. Consulting firms provide advice and strategies to solve a range of business-related issues. Internal competition is mounting as low barriers to entry and high profit margins encourage a flurry of new entrants. To retain market share, some consultants have raised employee wages to attract talent and deliver expert service. Climbing public and private capital expenditure and a rising number of businesses in New Zealand have buoyed industry expansion in recent years. Business confidence remained negative over the three years through 2022-23, which has had mixed effects on the industry. Particular consulting services constitute discretionary expenditure for many clients. Cost structure pressures in response to the pandemic, followed by cash rate hikes and related business confidence contractions, saw clients slash discretionary spending. Even so, periods of negative business confidence benefited demand for specific service segments, including operations and corporate strategy consulting, as client firms sought industry expertise to remedy short-term operational and strategy issues. As business confidence improved and became positive over the two years through 2024-25, demand for discretionary and growth consulting services climbed. Overall, industry revenue is expected to expand at an annualised 3.4% over the past five years through 2024-25, to $13.2 billion. This includes an anticipated slump of 0.7% in 2024-25, as public and private sector capital expenditure drops. Demand for consulting services is set to continue expanding over the coming years, driven by swelling private and public capital expenditure. Business confidence is forecast to keep climbing, contributing to downstream clients ramping up discretionary spending and demand for consultancy services. Increasing specialisation, particularly in digital consulting, is set to provide growth opportunities for consulting firms. Industry revenue is forecast to expand at an annualised 3.5% through the end of 2029-30, to $15.7 billion.

The Accounting Services industry is susceptible to wider economic factors influencing demand. Accounting firms derive most of their income from the private sector, so the private sector’s capital expenditure trends significantly impact the industry's performance. Accountants have benefited from private sector capital expenditure growth and the rising number of businesses. The effects of the elevated interest rates and negative consumer sentiment slashed capital expenditure from the private sector in 2024-25, as many companies undertook cost-cutting measures to maintain profit margins. Despite broader economic uncertainty, demand for accounting services has remained robust in recent years. Overall, industry revenue is expected to expand an annualised 2.2% over the five years through 2025-26, to $5.1 billion. This trend includes a 1.3% rise in 2025-26 as business confidence improves. While tax and auditing services represent a steady revenue stream for most accounting firms, technological changes are affecting the industry as basic accounting services become increasingly automated. Many of the larger accounting practices are driving further changes as they seek to create additional revenue streams by providing new value-added services for clients. These services include comprehensive data analytics (as accounting practices move beyond providing traditional data entry), record keeping and basic data analysis. Other accounting firms are working in conjunction with accounting software vendors to allow small business operators to undertake bookkeeping services using mobile devices. These developments have underpinned the industry's operating environment changes and supported growth in profit margins growth in recent years. The industry is on track to continue expanding, supported by rising capital expenditure from the private and public sectors and further advances in business numbers. Technological change will continue to drive industry revenue growth as accounting firms offer more value-added services in the coming years in response to the automation of basic accounting services. Revenue is forecast to climb an annualised 5.4% over the five years through 2030-31 to an estimated $6.6 billion.
