New Zealand Ecommerce Market Analysis

The New Zealand E-commerce Market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period.

  • The New Zealand E-commerce market has been transforming rapidly over the past few years. Various factors boost the growth of the E-commerce market in the region, including higher smartphone penetration, increasing shopping frequency, and positive consumer behavior toward online shopping.
  • Card payments are the most popular method for E-commerce transactions in the region. However, in the past few years, there have been significant shifts toward Buy Now Pay Later payment methods. As per New Zealand Post, Buy Now Pay Later services in the region grew by 49% in Q1 2021. Furthermore, the service is growing most rapidly among young people in New Zealand.
  • As per New Zealand Post, in 2020, older age groups experiencing high levels of online retail growth in terms of their frequency and size of the spend. Then in 2021, the 40-65 years group spent 20% more, and the 65+ age group was also up 14%. Again, these trends will continue throughout the near future.

This type of regulation can resist the foreign E-commerce companies in the region, which may hamper the growth of the market.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic national and regional lockdowns have led to New Zealand consumers doubling their spending on online shopping, and the change in consumer spending is further expected to continue to increase in coming years.
