Amusement Parks and Centres Operation in New Zealand industry analysis

The industry has contended with difficult trading conditions in recent years. International and domestic tourists represent significant sources of revenue for the amusement parks and centres operators. Border restrictions at the international and regional levels significantly constrained park attendance figures following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Industry revenue is expected to sink at an annualised 1.6% over the five years through 2023-24, to total $151.5 million, with profit margins similarly contracting. This includes an expected growth of 0.3% in 2023-24, sustained by the booming international tourist numbers and reviving consumer sentiment.

Trends and Insights

  • The industry has benefited from a hike in real household discretionary income over the past few years. This increased income has boosted consumer spending on discretionary expenses, like amusement parks and centres.
  • The industry relies on admissions, rides, and games for the majority of its revenue. In recent years, operators have diversified their attraction offerings like laser tag, escape rooms and VR experiences to cater to a wider client base.
  • The industry is highly concentrated in the Auckland region, serving as the location for one-third of industry establishments. This trend is influenced by high tourist demand and the target market typically found in densely populated areas.
  • Amusement parks primarily compete based on their experiences’ uniqueness and thrill-factor, alongside regular game updates in arcades and strategic location choices. Amidst price competition, the quality of service and offerings like family and multi-ride packages are key differentiators.
