New Zealand: New Zealand Government Looks to Bring More Competition to Retail Grocery in New Zealand

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NZ2023-0020
New Zealand is about to pass and implement legislation to address one of the most concentrated supermarket sectors in the world. The competitive landscape consists of two leading players and a small number of very minor players. In 2020, the government called upon the Commerce Commission to investigate the supermarket (grocery) sector. The commission concluded in mid-2022 and made several recommendations that will enter into force from 2023 and beyond.
