Table Builder tables

Business demographic statistics provide an annual snapshot (as at February) of the structure and characteristics of New Zealand businesses. The tables below are based on a newly developed business demography series released in early 2008. This series has been developed from the Statistics New Zealand Longitudinal Business Frame (LBF) (previous releases have been based on the Business Frame). The advantages of the new series include: expanded industry coverage, greater accuracy in the identification of business births and deaths, and the ability to efficiently incorporate changes to published data at a later stage.


Business demography statistics are limited to economically significant individual, private-sector and public-sector enterprises that are engaged in the production of goods and services in New Zealand. This generally includes all enterprises with GST turnover greater than $30,000 per year.


The following Table Builder tables are for the years 2000 to 2007.

  • The business size (employment measure) used in these tables is the employee count (EC). The EC data has been sourced from the Linked Employer-Employee Database.
  • Area boundaries use the 2006 boundary pattern.

Please note the Business Demography Statistics: Technical notes (including data limitations) should be viewed in conjunction with these tables.
