Container Terminal Operation and Other Transport Services in New Zealand industry analysis

The Container Terminal Operation and Other Transport Services industry provides a range of transport services not included in other industries, including freight brokerage, road freight and passenger terminal operation, rail station operation, taxi radio base operation and toll road operation. Rising demand from the Road Freight Transport industry has boosted industry demand in recent years. Additionally, greater government investment in railway and rolling stock infrastructure has bolstered rail passenger numbers, supporting industry growth.As New Zealand is a net exporter, the industry's performance is linked to the performance of New Zealand's export-focused industries. An increase in total New Zealand exports typically boosts demand for many freight-orientated industry services. The depreciation of the New Zealand dollar in recent years has lifted the price competitiveness of New Zealand exports in global markets, which has supported the country's total export volumes amid significant supply chain disruptions. The pandemic reduced trade volumes in 2019-20 and 2020-21, harming demand for container terminal operations and freight brokerage services. Nonetheless, industry revenue and profitability surged over this period as disruptions across the logistics sector drove up prices for many industry services. Supply chain disruptions have eased in the last couple of years. However, prices remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels. Overall, industry-wide revenue has been growing over the five years through 2023-24, at an annualised 7.9% to total an expected $964.5 million. Revenue is anticipated to fall by 7.6% in 2023-24.Industry demand is poised to continue growing over the coming years. However, moderate price growth for many services as supply chain disruptions ease will constrain industry revenue growth. Both the Road Freight Transport and Rail Transport industries are set to expand, boosting demand for container terminal operations and freight brokerage. Free trade agreements and the surging popularity of online shopping will drive demand growth over the coming years. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualised 0.1% over the five years through 2028-29, to total $970.9 million.
