Wooden Structural Fitting and Component Manufacturing in New Zealand - Industry Research Report

One door opens: Domestic timber prices have declined, but so has industry demand

Wooden Structural Fitting and Component Manufacturing Operators have faced a challenging operating environment over the past five years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Declines in non-residential building construction reduced demand for industry goods over the period. Timber prices also declined, with firms passing on lower prices to customers. Increasing competition from substitute products, such as steel framing and aluminium windows, also stifled the industry.

Industry operators mainly manufacture wooden structural fittings and components, such as roof trusses, doors, wood-framed doors, wall and window frames, shopfronts, and joinery (including kitchen fittings) for buildings.

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.
