Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing in New Zealand industry analysis

Fabricated metal product manufacturers have suffered from pandemic-induced economic challenges. Raw materials prices climbed in 2020-21 when global supply chain disruptions led to supply shortages. Exports slumped over the two years through 2020-21, diminishing fabricated metal product manufacturers' sales revenue and profitability. Manufacturers have reduced staff numbers, closed facilities, or exited the industry due to these harsh operating conditions. The ongoing economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic has helped demand from construction and manufacturing sectors rebound, which lifted industry revenue in 2021-22. Yet diminished real household discretionary income amid cost-of-living pressures has weighed on consumers’ spending on fabricated metal products. Overall, the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing industry’s revenue is expected to have dropped at an annualised 1.6% to $1.4 billion through the end of 2023-24.

Trends and Insights

  • Weakened demand in the construction sector is constraining revenue growth. In contrast, continually expanding demand from the manufacturing sector is preventing revenue from plummeting.
  • The Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing industry’s most popular products are hand tools and general hardware products. Manufacturers primarily sell these through wholesalers and retailers.
  • The Auckland region’s solid economic activity and population density benefit manufacturers. Manufacturers in the region have easy access to downstream markets, which expands business opportunities to accelerate sales.
  • Buyers can shop around for the lowest prices. Fabricated metal product manufacturers compete based on prices, quality and services to boost sales.
