General Practice Medical Services in New Zealand industry analysis

General practitioners (GPs) provide a range of medical services to patients, including check-ups, diagnoses and prescriptions. Operators in the General Practice Medical Services industry are the first point of contact in New Zealand's health system. For the most part, external factors exert limited influence on demand for GPs, which remains relatively steady. Even so, the industry has benefited from increased public health expenditure in recent years, which surged especially strongly during the COVID-19 vaccination program in 2021-22. An influx of Central Government (Te Kawanatanga o Aotearoa) funding has enabled many general practices to improve the services they provide to patients.

Trends and Insights

  • Surging funding during the pandemic has driven revenue and profit margin growth. Revenue is set to dip in 2022-23, after exceptional levels of funding during the vaccination rollout the year prior.
  • Immunisations and telehealth funding have expanded general practices' already-dominant share of products and services revenue. Nurse visits and after-hours clinics have diminished in proportion, as the general practices segment has expanded.
  • General practices go where the population is. The spread of GP establishments follows general population trends, with most located in major cities.
  • The industry is highly fragmentary. Most general practices are small and highly profitable, although the industry has experienced a degree of consolidation in recent years.
