New Zealand’s Creative industry plays an important role in the country’s economy as it contributes over NZ$3.5 billion to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) annually. However, the country’s Creative industry is still in its infancy stage and it is ripe with potential to drive economic growth as well as adding significant diversification to the country’s economy. Despite the fact that the Creative industry is booming with potential, the industry’s average annual employment growth rate stands at 1.7% due to limited opportunities.
Nevertheless, the demand for creatives skyrocketed following the COVID-19 pandemic as last year, the industry proved its resilience and importance in New Zealand’s economic recovery. Due to the convergence of technology and creativity, the Kiwis are channelling their creative energy into professional pursuits, starting businesses and becoming innovators to help grow the economy. This is supported by the fact that digital media is the fastest growing subsector, with an average 8.4% annual growth rate. Meanwhile, Design is an important Creative subsector, which employs 43% of the total Creative sector; followed by Production, which employs 23% of the total Creative sector.
