Road and Bridge Construction in New Zealand - Industry Research Report

Bumpy ride: Unfavourable economic conditions and project completions have rerouted revenue growth

The Road and Bridge Construction industry plays an integral role in the economy. Industry contractors design, construct, maintain and repair the national and local road networks, which are vital for commuters and freight transport. Most road construction is publicly funded through the New Zealand Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) and, to a lesser extent, local authorities. Private sector funding of public road infrastructure has gathered momentum in recent years through public-private partnership arrangements to develop the Transmission Gully project in Wellington and the Auckland Northern Motorway.

Industry companies construct and repair roads, bridges, aerodrome runways and parking lots. Industry firms can also help organise and manage these activities.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
