This webinar provides a timely and practical update on the New Zealand car market, highlighting the key shifts shaping vehicle availability, affordability and fleet composition. The session will unpack current market conditions, including the impact of economic pressures, supply dynamics and evolving consumer preferences on new and used vehicle trends.
A particular focus will be the rapid rise of Chinese automotive brands in New Zealand and how their expanding presence is influencing technology expectations, pricing structures and the broader market mix. The presentation will also explore the challenges ahead for manufacturers, dealers and insurers — from regulatory changes and decarbonisation pressures to emerging risk profiles linked to advanced vehicle technologies.
Attendees will gain clear insights into what these developments mean for underwriting, pricing, claims complexity and future portfolio exposure.
