While the majority of Papeete's civilians fled to the interior of the island as soon as the fighting began, a Japanese civilian and a Polynesian boy were both killed by German shellfire. Although the two French vessels in the harbor had been sunk, there were no military casualties on either side and the German vessels took no damage. Overall, the bombardment was estimated in 1915 to have caused over 2 million francs' worth of property damage, some of which was recouped through the seizure of a German store on the island. In addition to the seizure of their property, several local Germans were interned and forced to repair the damage von Spee's squadron had caused. Perhaps the most lasting effect of the bombardment on the French was the dramatic fall of copra prices in the region, as local suppliers had previously sold a majority of their produce to German merchants in the area who were now interned. Further havoc and distress spread throughout the island 18 days after von Spee's squadron had left when rumors started to spread that a second German bombardment was about to begin.
After withdrawing, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau rendezvoused with Nürnberg and Titania at Nuku Hiva, where they resupplied and their crews took shore leave before moving on to meet the rest of the squadron at Easter Island. Although the Germans had destroyed the shipping at Papeete and wreaked havoc in the town, they had been denied their primary objective of seizing the French coal piles and replenishing their own stocks. Von Spee's raid allowed the British Admiralty to receive word on his position and heading, allowing them to inform Rear Admiral Christopher Cradock of the German intentions thus leading to the Battle of Coronel. Another effect was the reduction of ammunition available to the two German cruisers. The hundreds of shells fired by von Spee's ships at Papeete were irreplaceable. The depletion of ammunition as a result of the action at Papeete contributed to the German East Asia Squadron's failure to adequately defend itself at the Battle of the Falkland Islands against British battlecruisers. Lieutenant Destremau was chastised by his misinformed superior officer for his actions during the defense of Papeete and for the loss of the gunboat Zélée. He was summoned back to Toulon under arrest to be court-martialled but died of illness in 1915 before the trial. In 1918, Destremau was finally recognized for his actions at Papeete and was posthumously awarded the Légion d'honneur.

⇒パペーテ在住の民間人の大多数は戦いが始まるとすぐに島の内部に逃げ込んだが、日本の民間人とポリネシア人の少年の二人がドイツ軍の砲撃で殺された。港湾内のフランス船舶2隻は沈没したが、どちら側にも軍事関係の犠牲者はなく、ドイツ軍艦船も損傷を受けなかった。1915年に見積もりでこの砲撃は全体的に見て200万フラン以上の物的損害を引き起こしたと推定され、そのうちの一部は島のドイツ人店舗の差し押さえによって取り戻された。

⇒彼らの所有物の差し押さえに加えて、地元のドイツ人が数人抑留され、フォン・シュペー戦隊が引き起こした損害を修復することを強制された。以前は、地元の供給業者が彼らの農産物の大部分を今拘留されているドイツ商人に売っていたので、この地域におけるコプラ価格の劇的な下落が、フランスに対する砲撃の最も長引いた影響であった。フォン・シュペーの戦隊が去った18日後、島全体にさらなる大混乱と苦痛が広がり、2回目のドイツ軍の砲撃が始まろうとしているとの噂が広まり始めた。

⇒シャーンホルスト号とグナイセナウ号は、撤退の後ヌク・ヒバでニュルンベルク号とチタニア号とに合流し、そこで補給を受け、乗組員らは陸上休暇を取り、その後イースター島にいる戦隊の残り部隊と会った。ドイツ軍はパペーテで船積みを破壊し、町に大混乱を引き起こしたが、フランスの石炭山を奪い、船舶の貯蔵補給をするという主要目的は果たせなかった。

⇒フォン・シュペー軍の襲撃により、英国海軍提督は自分の立場や進行方向に関する消息を受け取ることができ、海軍少将クリストファー・クラドック（後方提督）にドイツ軍としての意向を知らせ合うことが可能となり、それが「コロネルの戦い」につながった。もう一つの効果は、2隻のドイツ軍巡洋艦にとって利用可能な弾薬が減少したことであった。パペーテでフォン・シュペー艦船が発射した数百発もの砲弾は、かけがえのないものであった。パペーテにおける戦闘行動の結果として弾薬が枯渇したことによって、「フォークランド諸島の戦い」で英国軍の巡洋戦艦に対して自艦防衛が十分できないことになり、それがドイツ軍東アジア艦隊の失敗に寄与したのである。

⇒中尉デストレモは、パペーテ防衛の間の行動および小型砲艦ゼレ号喪失の廉で彼の上官将校に誤解され、懲罰された。彼は裁判にかけられるべく逮捕され、トゥーロンに呼び戻されたが、裁判前の1915年に病気で亡くなった。1918年、デストレモは最終的にはパペーテでの活動を認められ、死後レジョン・ドヌール勲章を授与された。
