What are the Opportunities?

New Zealand’s small market size has many opportunities to offer UK companies. Its size in particular makes the market a sound choice for UK SME companies new to exporting.

The value of the UK’s reputation in making high-quality goods should not be forgotten in this market where high quality can compete with lower priced goods sourced from other countries.

New Zealand imports a wide range of British goods and services, particularly in the following sectors:

• Agriculture

• Biotechnology

• Clothing

• Creative Industries

• Education

• Food and Drink

• Giftware

• Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals

• ICT

• Marine

• Publishing

• Textiles
