Providing you the latest data for Aotearoa New Zealand’s metal industry so you’re able to measure activity and performance to inform your operations.
Every month we collate data provided by Customs NZ on levied and imported heavy steel (plate and sections), welding consumables, stainless steel and aluminium.
We are now sharing these data and insights in the hopes that it might be helpful as a source of information that allows you to better identify trends and market share opportunities for your business.
Steel import levy tonnages year-to-date: March 2024
We are witnessing a decline in the import volumes of steel, with March 2024 marking the lowest point in the past decade. This trend aligns largely with the anticipated fluctuations in the construction sector over the next 6-9 months. We hope that more projects will be secured and announced in coming months to give greater certainty to our members. HERA is committed to delivering against our agreed research and industry support program for the year and anticipates a deficit for the year’s operations, which will be supported by built-up reserves.
