20 retailers · graded on the ecommerce grade score
New Zealand's ecommerce market centers on established retailers adapting to online sales. The Warehouse leads as the dominant general merchandise player, while Noel Leeming and PB Tech serve electronics demand. Trade Me operates as a major marketplace platform. Grocery competition intensifies via New World and Pak'nSave. International presence from Amazon and JB Hi-Fi reflects growing cross-border shopping, though local retailers maintain market control.

The Ecommerce Grade (EG) Score is our 0–100 composite grade blending five signals per retailer: organic traffic strength (40%), domain authority (25%), cross-source market presence (20%), keyword breadth (10%), and year-over-year growth (5%). Scores are country-normalised so retailers within a market are directly comparable.
Inputs are compiled from public domain intelligence, organic traffic estimates, tech-stack signals, and legacy editorial rankings. Platform detection uses homepage HTML patterns.
