The Top New Zealand Affiliate Networks

Top New Zealand Affiliate Networks

Are you looking for the top New Zealand affiliate networks? We’ve got a breakdown here of the best affiliate networks.

With a population of around 5 million people, New Zealand is a smaller market for affiliate networks than other major western countries such as United States, Canada, and Australia. Yet despite its size, the country has a high penetration of both internet access and smartphone ownership, making a good place for affiliate programs to thrive.

According to Statista, ecommerce is on the rise in New Zealand. “As of January 2018, about 74 percent of people in New Zealand aged between 16 and 64 years had recently searched for a product or service to buy online.” Online shopping accounted for 8.9 percent of all retail spending as of 2019.

New Zealanders spent $4.2 billion online in 2018. Approximately one third of this was spent with overseas retailers. In 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, online spending is up, while the percentage spend with domestic retailers has increased, possibly due to a decrease in reliability of shipping goods into New Zealand from overseas.
