Motor Vehicle Parts Retailing in New Zealand industry analysis

Lockdowns, restrictions and upstream manufacturing shortages have weighed on the industry’s performance over the past few years. Industry retailers have struggled to maintain inventory levels to meet customer demand, leading to declining revenue in 2020-21. Weakening economic conditions further weighed on industry sales, as high inflation, a recession and increasing interest rates reduced consumer spending power, contributing to a decline in industry revenue in 2022-23. Overall, industry revenue is expected to fall at an annualised 0.8% over the five years through 2023-24, including 0.3% growth anticipated in the current year, to reach $767.4 million.

Trends and Insights

  • COVID-19 lockdowns disrupted industry supply chains. Retailers struggled to maintain inventory levels and faced higher purchase costs and lower margins. Large companies with strong supply chains capitalised on shortages among smaller retailers.
  • Weakening economic conditions are weighing on sales of motor vehicle accessories. Accessories are the most discretionary items sold by the industry, leading to declining sales as discretionary incomes slide.
  • Population distribution is closely correlated to the distribution of industry establishments. Retail businesses benefit from being close to their consumers and in areas that have high foot traffic.
  • Secure supply chains have been a key advantage during the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies acting as subsidiaries for large multinationals have benefited from their parent company's distribution networks and supply contracts.
