6. NZ has a number of unique and valuable endowments…
isolation coupled with a tiny population are the major negatives
New Zealand: National Endowments
x
Favorable… Not so Favorable…
• Huge distance to markets, particularly
• ‘Clean and green’ image
the most attractive (Europe, US)
(perception and reality)
• Tiny population, low density
• Good climate for agriculture
• Unlike Australia, for example, NZ has
• Southern Hemisphere location
few significant natural resource
provides off-season growing
deposits (minerals, oil etc)
opportunities in serving Northern
Hemisphere markets
• High rainfall, and Southern Alps
snowmelt provide good conditions
for inexpensive Hydro-power (70%
of electricity supply)
• Large ocean territory: 7th largest
exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in
the world

Two of NZ’s key clusters, dairy and tourism, are doing well,
however, majority of other clusters are losing ground
(1) Relative position of the marine cluster estimated based on data we have collected and interviews conducted; the International Cluster Analysis
definition includes commercial shipbuilding, which distorts the true position of NZ’s marine cluster, which focuses on boats for private use.

17. The cluster competes in a global market that has
recorded solid growth… strongest gains at the top-end
Global Market: Size and Growth Global Market: Key Features
• The global pleasure craft market = • US and Europe are largest end-markets
US$18B (an estimated 90% of end-market
demand), US market more penetrated
and lower growth
• Growth of around 5% per annum on a
value basis between 1997 and 2007
• Market is fragmented, largest player
– Superyachts fastest growing (Brunswick, US) has 14% global share in
boat building
• Volume growth has been steady since
• Bifurcated market: cost / price
1970 with some cyclicality. Real value
increasingly important for lower/mid
growth driven by increasing average boat
segment (increased standardization), but
size
less so for higher end (custom yachts)
Long-term outlook looks good… although current economic
conditions obviously taking a toll (‘09 forecast to be down 50%)

24. Four main recommendations to help upgrade the cluster
Issues Being Addressed
Recommendations More Detail On Actions
1 • Gains to be made by sharing • Govt support to upgrade demand
existing expertise
Expand on • Broader scope/mandate/ ambition for MIA
Strengths • Success stories that can be • Increase MIA membership
replicated • Focus expansion on high value:freight areas
• Consolidate the industry (fewer, larger firms)
• Extreme fragmentation
2
• ‘Step-change’ in collaboration championed
Consolidate & • Sub-scale manufacturing
by MIA and industry leaders
Collaborate • Lack of business skills
• Address availability of financing
• Lack of investment, duplication
• Actively seek out FDI
• Leading firms encouraged to diversify
3 • Capabilities exist that could have
activities (including offshore investments)
Expand into applications outside of marine
• Govt matching of investments that broaden
New Areas cluster
scope of cluster into ‘related’ industries
• Actively seek out FDI / JVs
• ‘Open minds’ to the possibility of production
• Cluster is relatively narrow in scope

• Long-run potential of custom niche is
Move Beyond
• Leading firms to leverage custom

issues and recommendations please see the full written report
25. Main Conclusions
• The New Zealand marine cluster has
overcome geographic distance from key
markets to become world-class within some
niche, high value-add sectors
• These successes need to be leveraged to
build competitiveness across the entire
cluster, and further develop supporting /
supplier industries
However….
• Key macro weaknesses, and major
deficiencies within the national diamond,
are inhibiting the growth of New
Zealand’s marine cluster and the wider
economy – many of these problems are
too large for individual actors… strong
leadership and collaboration will be
necessary if they are to be overcome
27. Extensive consultation with the industry
Interviews Conducted Data Collected
• Seventeen interviews • NZ Macro Data (‘85-’09)
conducted
• Marine Industry Data (‘03-’08)
• To promote free and frank
• Global Data (various)
dialogue we opted to keep the
identity of our interviewees • Other various…
