The OECD defines ICT goods and services as those that fulfil or enable the function of information processing and communication by electronic means. Alternatively, ICT goods may also use electronic processing to detect, measure, and/or record physical phenomena, or control a physical process.
Enterprise: a business operating in New Zealand. It can be a legally constituted body, such as a company, trust, local or central government trading organisation, an incorporated society, or self-employed individual.
Exports: goods and services sold overseas by a New Zealand company. This excludes goods sold to other New Zealand businesses who will export the goods at a later stage.
ICT commodities: categories of goods and services used in the ICT Supply Survey questionnaire.
Sales: revenue in New Zealand dollars.
Double counting can occur due to sale of manufactured goods to wholesalers, and sales from wholesalers to retailers.
Many respondents do not keep a separate account of their breakdown of specific ICT sales, or their sales may not be able to split out (i.e. they sell bundled products), or they may have difficulty deciding what category their specific sales may fall into, particularly for businesses that may span multiple industries or activities. Therefore, please consider the above points when using the breakdowns of published software and IT services.
Changes to data collection/processing
A reduced version of the ICT Supply survey was run from 2017 onwards.
The 2017 reduced ICT Supply survey also had a reduced population. There were 15 ANZSICs included in the 2014 population that were dropped from the 2017 population, as their primary activities were not closely related to the sales of software or related services. Users should be mindful of the change in population and its potential impact on results.
Data for 2023 includes some newly established businesses, changes in reporting or accounting (i.e. consolidated responses), as well as an increasing trend of businesses selling bundled products and services, which may have impacted the data.
From the dataset Information and Communication Technology Supply Survey 2023, this data was extracted:

About this dataset
The ICT Supply Survey measures the sale of goods and services from businesses associated with ICT industries. The ICT Supply Survey replaced the Information Technology Survey (1993–2004).
Purpose of collection
This survey is run to inform National Accounts on supply of ICT services. They require published software, IT support services, design and development services, and hosting and infrastructure provisioning services.
