Features & benefits
Infometrics Sector Profiles take the presentation of New Zealand industry and sector specific economic and employment data to a new level using a dynamic and interactive web-based interface.Our unique approach to defining sectors
Infometrics has developed a unique method for defining sectors. We can define sectors in terms of industries and/or occupations. For example, suppose for argument’s sake your focus was on Accountancy. In this instance, we could capture data on people working within accounting-related industries, such as Accounting Services, as well as individuals who are employed in an accountancy role in a non-accounting industry (eg. an accountant employed by a large building company). Once we have defined your sectors, we can then define the geographical coverage of your sector(s). Sectors can be defined at a national, regional and territorial authority level, or using customised regions. This level of flexibility in defining sectors and their geographical coverage sets us apart from other economic consultancies.Rigorous analysis using robust data
Infometrics are leaders in the generation of industry and regional economic information. Our database brings together numerous sources of information, as well as our own independent industry and regional employment and GDP estimates, into a single database. We draw on this comprehensive resource and present analysis that will complement your own sector insights and help you benchmark yourself across other sectors.Cost-effective and innovative
Through the innovative use of technology, we speed up the preparation of reports at a very reasonable cost. Leave the data collection to us and let your staff concentrate on strategic issues. Handy infographics that you can automatically generate from our system are perfect for setting the scene at your next meeting.Our skills and expertise

Our Sector Profiles are ideal for better understand your workforce, workforce planning, developing national and regional sector specific strategies and helping to identify current and future skill needs. Our products empower users with the information to focus on the areas that are of interest to them, not us.
Users can define their sectors in terms of detailed industry and/or occupation classifications for the areas (national, regional and territorial authority) that they are interested in. Depending on the subscription level, Sector Profile subscribers can choose to make parts of their profile publicly available as a service to stakeholders. The ability to create customised profiles to fit users actual needs sets us apart from our competitors.
Infometrics Sector Profiles allow users to answer questions about their sector(s) and subsectors. For example, considerable detail can quickly be gleaned on a customised sector, including:
- GDP and employment growth
- The occupational makeup of a sector and how this has changed over time
- Demographic characteristics of workers in a sector
- Business numbers, size and trends
- Detailed forecast employment growth
- Earnings prospects of people in a sector
Our annual industry and Sector Profile products are available on a subscription basis. The products are web-based, meaning that subscribers can gain access wherever they are. Data is dynamic and interactive, with charts and reports available to be downloaded for further analysis. Infometrics staff are available to support clients use our products as well as interpret data and trends.
Who is it for?
Infometrics sector products and services are used by a diverse range of national and regional clients who are looking to better understand their current and future workforce requirements. We take the leg work out of collecting data and formulating base-line understandings of your sector so that analysts in your organisation can focus more time on providing strategic advice on issues that matter.
Our web-based economic visualisation and analysis system is ideally suited to providing a solid evidence base to tertiary education organisations to support programme and qualification development, investment planning, self-evaluation and engaging with employers and community.
Industry associations have found our sector profile products extremely useful in terms of better understanding their current members, helping to identify potential future members and better understanding the workforce that they represent. Industry association members can also benefit by being able to access our profiles via their association.
As our sector profiles are available down to a territorial authority level, enabling regional authorities to use the detailed information to inform the development of regional sector specific strategies.
Our innovative web-based regional economic visualisation and analysis systems have become the benchmark for understanding what makes New Zealand’s sectors and regional economies tick.
Infometrics’ handy infographics and frank seminars can also help set the agenda for your next meeting or workshop. We provide an independent and knowledgeable viewpoint on sectors, nationally and regionally and how they are affected by the macroeconomy.
