Oceania Field Operations

Two Markets.
Urban and Rural.
Full Reach.

SIS International fields primary research across Australia and New Zealand with access to both urban metropolitan panels in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Auckland and regional respondent networks that reach mining communities, agricultural regions, and rural populations standard online panels miss. From FMCG concept testing in Sydney to mining sector B2B interviews in Western Australia to dairy export market assessments in Canterbury, our Oceania practice covers the full geographic and economic range.

Years of Operations
01 — Resources B2B Access

Mining, Energy, and Agricultural Executive Panels

Australia’s mining sector in Western Australia and Queensland and New Zealand’s agricultural export economy require B2B research with respondents who are geographically dispersed, operationally focused, and difficult to recruit through standard panels. SIS maintains verified B2B respondent networks across the resources sector, including site managers, procurement directors, and logistics executives verified by employer and operational role.

02 — Urban-Rural Research Design

Methodology That Reaches Beyond Sydney and Melbourne

Australia’s population concentrates in five coastal metro areas, but consumer behavior, brand perception, and media consumption patterns differ significantly in regional and rural communities. SIS designs instruments that capture both urban and non-urban respondent segments, using CAPI fieldwork and telephone recruitment where online panels underrepresent regional populations.

03 — Privacy Act and CER Compliance

Australian Privacy Act and NZ Privacy Act 2020 Navigation

Australia’s Privacy Act (including the Consumer Data Right framework) and New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020 impose specific requirements on respondent data collection, consent mechanisms, and cross-border data transfer. Research involving health data triggers additional TGA and Medsafe considerations. We build compliance into study design for both jurisdictions.

Oceania Market Research That Covers the Full Geographic Range

Australia and New Zealand are often grouped together in APAC research programs, but they present distinct market structures. Australia’s economy is resource-extraction heavy, with mining and energy exports shaping B2B research demand in ways that differ from its consumer market, which concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. New Zealand’s economy centers on dairy, agriculture, and tourism, with a consumer market shaped by different retailer structures (Countdown vs. Coles/Woolworths) and media consumption habits.

The Closer Economic Relations (CER) trade agreement between Australia and New Zealand creates cross-Tasman research demand for firms operating in both markets. But CER alignment does not mean the markets are identical. Australian consumer response to pricing, packaging, and brand messaging differs from New Zealand’s. Regulatory frameworks diverge on food safety (FSANZ vs. MPI), pharmaceutical approvals (TGA vs. Medsafe), and financial services oversight (APRA/ASIC vs. FMA/RBNZ). SIS designs cross-Tasman research that enables comparability without ignoring these structural differences.

SIS has conducted primary research in Oceania for decades, with field teams who understand the operational logistics of recruiting respondents across geographies that span from urban Sydney to remote Western Australian mining sites to New Zealand’s South Island agricultural communities.

Industrias clave

Todos los países de Oceanía están rodeados de agua, lo que los convierte en un paraíso de inversión principalmente para empresas relacionadas con el turismo y una buena región para realizar investigaciones de mercado de Oceanía.

Its biggest industry is tourism, which is due to the high rate of labor and service in the continent. To meet the influx of tourists, many businesses hire migrant workers from neighboring countries, such as India, China, the Filipinas, and Vietnam. The projected annual revenue for this industry alone can reach up to hundreds of billions of dollars.

Oceanía es también uno de los principales productores de minerales específicos. Nueva Zelanda produce oro, plata, carbón, mineral de hierro y piedra caliza. Por otro lado, Australia produce oro y mineral de hierro, junto con otros minerales como diamantes, uranio, níquel y zinc.

Nueva Zelanda también es popular por sus productos lácteos, ya que es el hogar de algunos de los mayores fabricantes de leche del mundo. Se estima que estas granjas lecheras recaudan $19 mil millones anualmente para la economía.

Otras industrias relevantes son la educación, los sectores financieros, la agricultura, la pesca y la manufactura.

A continuación se presentan algunas tendencias y oportunidades comerciales que se esperan con la investigación de mercado de Oceanía:

  • Crecimiento de la población: Australia’s continuous population growth is due to immigration. It assures that the demand for labor for the continuous growth and expansion of business is met. Note also that Oceania is composed mainly of developing nations with high fertility rates. Unlike Australia, these smaller countries have a natural increase. New Zealand partnered up with these nations and invites qualified Samoans to be residents.
  • No cese de la industria turística: Oceanía depende en gran medida de la industria del turismo, por lo que influye en otros sectores del mercado, como el alojamiento, la alimentación, el ocio, el transporte, la manufactura y las finanzas. Un destino exótico, como Fiji, sigue atrayendo a huéspedes de alto nivel, asegurando el flujo de dinero en el país.
  • Granjas lecheras: Nueva Zelanda es el hogar del procesador de leche más grande del mundo. Fonterra representa 90% de granjas lecheras en Nueva Zelanda, lo que garantiza su posición de liderazgo en el mercado.
  • Flexibilidad en el lugar de trabajo: El gobierno australiano presionó para lograr una mayor flexibilidad en el lugar de trabajo, permitiendo a los empleados un mejor control de sus horas de trabajo. Esto se aceleró durante la pandemia cuando muchos propietarios de pequeñas empresas y corporaciones otorgaron acuerdos laborales flexibles a sus empleados.
  • La seguridad cibernética: As many businesses perform flexible work schedules, it allows employees to work using their digital devices. Since sensitive data and information are included, businesses employ the expertise of cybersecurity professionals. The cybersecurity industry has since experienced growth from the surge of demand.

Fortalezas en el mercado de Oceanía

Oceanía tiene un fuerte atractivo para la inversión por lo siguiente:

  • Australia and New Zealand are some of the most developed countries in the world.
  • Acuerdo especial de migración entre Australia y Nueva Zelanda, que permite a los ciudadanos de cada país viajar, vivir y trabajar libremente en cada país;
  • New Zealand provides automatic citizenship to residents of the Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau. The following islands are not considered sovereign nations and therefore fall under the territory of New Zealand.
  • Nueva Zelanda también ofrece acuerdos especiales con otras naciones del Pacífico para permitir que 11.000 samoanos cada año se conviertan en residentes permanentes si cumplen con los criterios. El país ofrece visas temporales relacionadas con el trabajo a personas que no cumplieron con los requisitos.
  • Australia es la duodécima economía más grande, solidificada por un PIB de $1,6 billones, lo que equivale a 1,7% de la economía mundial.
  • Australia tiene una economía mixta, lo que ayuda a diversificar las pérdidas potenciales.
  • Oceanía tiene sólidos proyectos y prácticas de adquisiciones e infraestructura.

Acerca de la investigación de mercado en Oceanía

Es una buena decisión para las empresas con el objetivo a largo plazo de penetrar los mercados de Asia y el Pacífico establecerse en Oceanía. Cada país del continente tiene distintos requisitos y limitaciones comerciales. Australia tiene procesos sencillos que pueden facilitar las cosas. Lo mismo ocurre con Nueva Zelanda.

With the proper market research, businesses will be able to determine what factors to consider, from government compliance to raw resources for their businesses.
