Tō Mātou Ahumahi Industry

• The Support Services industry is influenced by a diverse range of markets including dairy, livestock (sheep and beef cattle), horticulture, fishing, aquaculture, and other crop production.  While its contribution to GDP is forecasted to continue growing, emerging technologies are likely to reduce demand for specific services, such as manual fruit harvesting.
• The Landscaping Construction service industry has experienced substantial growth over the last ten years driven by increases in residential building and increased household spending on landscaping. However, its contribution to GDP since 2023 has continued to fall due lower demand for landscaping as ‘cost of living’ has risen.

Of the four sub-industries that make up the Support Services grouping, we were able to source data for three of these sub-industries. 

Note that in the source for GDP estimates, Agricultural Support Services has been combined with Shearing and Cropping. It is not possible for us to separate out the Agricultural Support Services part of this estimate, though it is likely to make most of the contribution to the estimates.
