Where to next for New Zealand’s two-speed retail sector?

The impact of COVID-19 has developed a two-speed retail environment in New Zealand, as some categories experience record sales, while other retailers appear increasingly pessimistic about their prospects.

In its report, Rebuild New Zealand: retail, PwC analyses data from a range of sources to paint a picture of the trading environment in the wake of COVID-19, and considers what developments in consumer sentiment may tell us about what lies ahead for the retail sector.

PwC has advised many of New Zealand’s largest listed and privately-owned retailers across a wide variety of projects and roles, including assurance, tax, capital solutions, transactions services, M&A, restructuring, real estate, supply chain and digital consulting services.
