Taranaki Industry Structure and Performance 

This section sets out the Taranaki region’s current industry structure and performance in 

terms of employment and GDP.  The analysis looks at the changes in industry structure 

between 2001 and 2006.  The Taranaki region’s growth is compared to that of New Zealand, 

at aggregate and at industry-by-industry levels. 

3.1 Taranaki 

population 

Employment and GDP should be considered in light of the population demographic in the 

region.  Population growth has been significantly slower than nationally as shown in Table 

3.1.  This makes Taranaki’s performance over the past five years even more impressive.

In New Zealand, a large proportion of growth has been in population-based, service-focused 



industries.  In Taranaki, population growth has not been in the same league as in New 

Zealand.  Although these industries have been growing fast in Taranaki as well, they are off 

a smaller base and, therefore, they have not impacted significantly on the regional totals. 

Therefore, while employment and GDP growth in Taranaki have been slower than the 

national average over the last five years, this is an impressive performance considering the 

region’s population trends. 

Further, there has been a turnaround in Taranaki’s population demographics.  After declining 

between 1996 and 2001, the population grew in the last five years by 2,000 people (2.0 

percent).  This will impact positively on the region’s performance going forward, especially as 

it provides the resources/clients to support the high growth/value added service sectors. 



3.2 Taranaki 

employment 

In 2006, the Taranaki region employed just over 45,200 FTEs, which is around 2.5 percent of 

national employment.  The majority of the region’s employment is in the manufacturing and 

agriculture sectors.  Employment growth in the region has accelerated substantially since 

2001, compared with earlier performance, indicating a positive change in the Taranaki 

region’s economic performance.

The three manufacturing industries – food processing, engineering, and other manufacturing 



– together provided 18 percent of Taranaki’s employment.  Agriculture accounted for 16 

percent of all employment in the region.  The manufacturing and agriculture industries are 

related in that close to half of manufacturing employment is in food processing. 

The next largest industry was wholesale and retail trade, at 15 percent of employment, while 

finance and business services (12 percent), construction (8.1 percent), and health and 

community services (8.1 percent) were also major players. 

However, the share of employment accounted for by each industry at a regional level relative 

to the national picture provides a better description of important industries in the region.  

Figure 3.2 shows the proportion of employment in each industry in Taranaki compared to the 

New Zealand average.

From this we can see that a significantly higher proportion of employment in the Taranaki 



region is in agriculture, food processing, engineering, and mining.  Conversely, Taranaki has 

a relatively low proportion of employment in business, finance and property services; 

wholesale and retail trade, and most of the service industries. 

These relative proportions are important when we consider employment growth. 

Table 3.2 presents FTE employment numbers for Taranaki broken down by industry 

between 2001 and 2006.  It also provides a national comparison for total employment.

Over the last five years, the Taranaki region averaged employment growth of 2.4 percent per 



annum compared to 3.4 percent per annum for New Zealand.  While regional growth was 

lower than that seen nationally, much of this was likely a result of supply side constraints – a 

shortage of labour due to lower population growth. 

The fastest employment growth over the last five years in percentage terms was in 

construction, which grew from around 2,460 FTEs to 3,680 FTEs, an increase of 8.4 percent 

per annum.  Other particularly strong performers were mining (8.0 percent per annum, 

almost all within oil and gas); business, finance and property services (6.8 percent per 

annum); hospitality, which accounts for most of the tourism industry (5.2 percent per annum); 

engineering (4.1 percent per annum); and cultural and recreational services (4.1 percent per 

annum). 


Only four of the 19 industries experienced falls in employment over the period.  The largest 

industry, agriculture, saw a decline of 0.2 percent per annum (around 90 FTEs).  Other 

industries where employment fell were fishing (-3.9 percent per annum); utilities (-3.7 percent 

per annum); and forestry (-2.2 percent per annum). 

Figure 3.3 shows the trend in employment growth in the Taranaki region compared to New 

Zealand employment growth between 2001 and 2006.

Employment growth in Taranaki has broadly mirrored that of New Zealand over the last five 



years, apart from a dip between 2003 and 2004.  What makes this remarkable is that 

employment growth has been achieved despite lower population growth. 

Figure 3.4 compares employment growth in Taranaki and New Zealand at the 19-industry 

level over the last five years.

Taranaki


New  Zealand

 

The general national trend is lower employment growth in the primary industries, while 



growth is highest in services as well as construction, wholesale and retail trade, and 

hospitality.  A lot of this is due to increasing productivity in the primary sector, but also the 

growth in demand for services industries, driven in large part by global trends and 

population. 

The Taranaki region tends to follow the national trends in each industry.  It has, however, 

seen substantially stronger growth in mining (oil and gas) and engineering, two of the 

region’s traditional strengths.  In addition, other industries such as construction; hospitality; 

and business, finance and property services have added jobs at a faster rate than New 

Zealand as a whole. 

While the region has seen significant falls in employment in two of its smaller industries, 

forestry and fishing, this has been against a background of even greater drops at a national 

level.  Utilities employment fell at 3.7 percent per annum while there was some growth 

nationally (1.8 percent per annum).

Mining (oil and gas) makes the biggest contribution to the region’s GDP, accounting for 16.9 



percent.  This is followed by business, finance and property (16.4 percent), wholesale and 

retail trade (10.5 percent), food processing (9.9 percent) and agriculture (9.5 percent). 

The proportion of GDP accounted for by mining (oil and gas) is unique in New Zealand.  

Similarly, agriculture, food processing and engineering are all relatively higher than 

nationally.

Mining (oil and gas) stands out as having the most significant difference from the national 



situation.  In the region, it accounts for 17 percent of GDP, whereas nationally it accounts for 

less than 1.0 percent.  Again, this highlights the importance of the oil and gas sector to the 

Taranaki region.  Similarly, food processing, agriculture, and engineering make relatively 

high contributions to GDP at the regional level. 

Within the Taranaki region, most of the retail, business and people services make a relatively 

smaller contribution to GDP than is seen nationally.  This is due to the disproportionately 

large contribution of the primary and manufacturing sectors in the Taranaki economy as well 

as the smaller population base of the region. 

Table 3.3 presents the annual change in GDP for Taranaki broken down by industry between 

2001 and 2006.  It also provides an overall GDP picture for New Zealand.
