Medium-Term Market Trend

New Zealand’s car passenger sales in the past decade have shown signs of a healthy market, growing for 9 consecutive years. From 2010 to 2019 the market doubled, moving from 80,453 in 2010 to 160,878 sales by the end of 2019.

The arrival of the pandemic slowed down car passenger sales in New Zealand, falling 25.7% to 119,579 new registrations.

The pandemic wasn’t enough to stop the uptrend accumulated in the past decade, in fact, 2021 reported a 31.6% growth in new car registrations with 2022 continuing the uptrend and reaching 116,451 cumulative sales(+3.8%). Although the market grew in 2022, it did so at a slower pace. A combination of factors are behind the current industry struggle: the disruption in the global supply chain caused by a lack of raw materials, in particular for the production of microchips and the Governments push towards Evs.

Sales fell to 633,740 in 2015 and began to recover up to 863,556 in 2017. 2018 and 2019 both reported losses with the later falling 42.9% reaching the lowest of the past decade at 438,590.

Despite the great performance in the last few years, there are a few factors that  will put negative pressure on the market throughout 2023: the disruption in the global supply chain caused by a lack of raw materials, in particular for the production of microchips and the Governments push towards Evs. This last point isn’t as important now as it will be in the future, considering that currently only 0.45% of market share in South America belongs to BEVs.
