Other Health Services in New Zealand industry analysis

Beneficial trends have fuelled growth in the Other Health Services industry over the past few years. The population aged over 50 has been growing. Since many industry services like podiatry and home care nursing are primarily used by older individuals, this trend has benefited revenue growth. Revenue is expected to climb at an annualised 2.8% to $4.7 billion over the five years through 2023-24. This trend includes a drop of 1.2% in 2023-24, on the back of lower public health expenditure in 2022-23; but the industry is set to make a rapid recovery.Lockdowns and Alert Level 3 and 4 restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily interrupted operations. Health providers could no longer provide in-person services, causing delays and cancellations among many patients. However, most patients rebooked after lockdowns ended, meaning that lockdowns didn't influence overall industry trends in the long term. Online telehealth services also dampened the pandemic's effects on performance. Telehealth services meant that people could access psychological and other services remotely, which has benefited people with disabilities or those in remote areas who cannot easily travel to see other health service providers in-person.The ageing population is set to fuel continued growth in revenue and participation in the coming years. Consumers are also likely to become more accepting of alternative health services as COVID-19-related pressures ease, including acupuncture, homeopathy, hypnotherapy, massage therapy and naturopathy. While these treatments mainly appealed to niche groups in the past, more organisations will be accepting their perceived benefits and encouraging their use as substitutes or complementary services to mainstream health care. More health insurance companies are therefore set to cover these services in their higher-tier plans, encouraging more demand. Alternative health therapies also tend to be associated with higher prices, helping to keep profit margins on the rise. Overall, revenue is forecast to climb at an annualised 1.1% to $5.0 billion over the five years through 2028-29, as demand continues to ramp up for alternative health therapies and services popular among older individuals – like home care nurses, podiatry and hearing aid dispensing.

Trends and Insights

  • New Zealand’s population is ageing, with an expanding population of individuals aged over 50. Since many industry services are mainly used by older individuals, the trend has fuelled demand and revenue growth.
  • Some organisations discouraged uptake of alternative health therapies after the COVID-19 outbreak. This trend dampened demand from this segment, while encouraging demand for more regulated services like podiatry.
  • Providers tend to locate themselves in populous areas. Since Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city, this area attracts more activity and entices businesses to set up shop.
  • Health service providers tend to compete on price, service quality, location and eligibility for private health insurance. Since many services don’t receive funding, service prices are crucial.
