NZ HealthTech Insights Report Offers Timely Dive Into NZ’s Largest Tech Industry Sub-sector 13 May 2020

“The desire for this Report arose out of conversations between key proponents of New Zealand’s healthcare industry who agreed that there was no single shared overview of the NZ HealthTech sector that illustrated its potential for economic growth and social contribution,” says Greg Shanahan, Managing Director of TIN. “With this Report, we’re hoping to change that.”

Mr Shanahan says the new HealthTech Insights Report, initially developed in late 2019 following the publication of the annual flagship TIN Report, has taken on a new relevance and resonance in the current global situation around COVID-19.

“Now more than ever, the world needs effective solutions to big health problems. The data in this Report shows that Kiwi companies are already delivering the kind of healthcare solutions that are in high demand globally, and that we are home to talented Kiwis with the smarts to address the toughest new health problems facing the world today,” says Mr Shanahan.

Such companies include both established world-leaders like Fisher & Paykel Healthcare with its respiratory devices, to emerging companies like The Clinician which has repurposed its patient outcome measures platform to manage the wellbeing of communities dealing with COVID-19.

“It’s my firm belief that the strength of NZ’s HealthTech sector as a whole, as reflected in this Report, will help provide greater resilience for New Zealand as we shift to a new way of working through this lockdown period and beyond, and be an ongoing force for good that will enable a faster recovery from the current related economic shocks of COVID-19.”

Key Insights from the Report include:
The New Zealand HealthTech sector has shown steady growth over the past five years, with exports driving the success
While there are just 22 HealthTech companies with over $3.6m annual revenue – the threshold required for inclusion in the TIN200 – a further 163 companies provide a rich pipeline of early stage innovation and investment opportunity.
Of the 200 companies in the 2019 TIN Report, 11% are HealthTech firms, yet they generated 15.4% of the TIN200 revenue, which clearly shows the size and significance of the HealthTech sector in New Zealand.
Science-based product leadership is driving the sector, with companies that build healthcare devices currently leading the way (eg. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare)
Other sector categories – Digital Health & Health IT and Diagnostics & Therapeutics, which includes pharmaceuticals – are also expanding significantly (eg Douglas Pharmaceuticals)
Investment opportunities abound, but challenges persist. Investment in HealthTech companies often requires a longer incubation period, so more needs to be done to address growth acceleration
HealthTech startups are focused on export markets from day one, as these provide the greatest potential for scaling.
