1. Non-Alcoholic Beer Production in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 33.5%

Per-capita alcohol consumption, income, price, health consciousness and consumer preferences drive non-alcoholic beer producers' performance. Over the five years through 2022-23, revenue is set to grow at a compound annual rate of 30% to £807.6 million, including growth of 34.2% in 2022-23, with the average industry profit margin hitting 19.7%.

Shrinking alcohol consumption per capita alongside growing health consciousness is paving the way for industry growth. Popular craft beer producers are rapidly introducing no-alcohol and sustainable beer varieties, driving growth in the non-alcoholic beer industry. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many consumers stuck at home cut out booze, dabbing into non-alcoholic beer... Learn More

2. Chocolate & Confectionery Production in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 20.8%

The chocolate and confectionery industry is divided into three categories: cocoa products, sugar confectionery products and chewing gum. These productions have faced numerous challenges such as rising health consciousness, fluctuating input costs and increased competition from imported goods, all contributing to reduced revenue. The growing popularity of organic and fairtrade practices stems from a marked increase in health awareness, leading consumers towards healthier alternatives. Consequently, manufacturers have started producing low-sugar versions of classic chocolate bars. This strategy has expanded niche markets and chocolate manufacturers' wider production of vegan and reduced-sugar products.

3. Juice Production in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 17.8%

The Juice Production industry revenue is expected to have shrunk at a compound annual rate of 2.7% over the five years through 2023-24 to £517 million, including a contraction of 2.9% in the current year. The industry has been dealt blow after blow to their supply chains – COVID-19 and related lockdowns restricted international trade for over a year and poor harvests, combined with the Russia-Ukraine war, have led to prices of imported fruit skyrocketing since 2020. Furthermore, criticisms over fruit juice and smoothie sugar contents have also damaged the industry's reputation for having healthy products.

4. Motorcycle Manufacturing in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 15.2%

Motorcycle manufacturers produce motorcycles, mopeds and cycles fitted with an auxiliary engine. They also produce engines, sidecars and motorcycle parts and accessories. Manufacturers mainly provide final goods to dealers, both domestic and international, although other motorcycle manufacturers and parts resellers are also important markets. Motorcycle manufacturing in the UK is declining – the only major player, Triumph Motorcycles, has relocated mass manufacturing to its three production facilities in Thailand. Intense import penetration has reduced output. Revenue has decreased at a compound annual rate of 1.6% to £596 million over the five years through 2022-23. This includes growth of 2.6% in...

5. Pharmaceutical Preparations Manufacturing in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 13.0%

The UK is one of the largest pharmaceutical producers in the world, so the industry commands an important position in both the global pharmaceutical market and the UK economy. A large proportion of revenue is derived from export sales, but the value of exports has declined over the past five years.

Industry revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 3.2% over the five years through 2023-24, including revenue growth of 4.3% in the current year, to reach £25.5 billion. Many major large drug makers have rationalised their business strategies to rely less on high-revenue patent drugs. This... Learn More

6. Wine Production in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 12.5%

The number of acres planted with UK grapevines has more than doubled over the past 10 years, according to trade association Wine GB, supporting industry performance. Strengthening domestic and international interest in British wine backed by major international awards for UK-produced wines is driving industry growth.

Trading restrictions on the hospitality sector amid the COVID-19 outbreak took a toll on on-trade demand during the height of the pandemic, removing a big chuck of revenue for UK wine producers. Nevertheless, industry revenue is growing at a projected compound annual rate of 8.4% over the five years through 2023-24 to approximately £415.2 million,... Learn More

7. Sawmilling & Wood Planing in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 12.0%

Demand for wood products is heavily dependent on the level of construction activity. Industry revenue has grown during the five years, due to a surge in timber prices in 2021. Technological advances, new products and new revenue streams also supported industry growth. However, the industry has been challenged by high levels of import competition, as well as competition from substitute products. Revenue is expected to rise at a compound annual rate of 7.3% over the five years through 2022-23, to £2.6 billion.

The industry suffered a major decline in 2020-21, as the COVID-19 pandemic had a devasting effect on many of... Learn More

8. Vodka Distilleries in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 11.8%

Alcohol consumption, demand from pubs and bars, disposable income, health consciousness and the exchange rate heavily influence vodka distilleries revenue. The COVID-19 pandemic led to strict restrictions imposed on the hospitality sector, with sales to the on-trade tumbling as a result. Rising rates of at-home social gatherings led to an uptick in sales to the off-trade, although this wasn't enough to prevent a substantial fall in revenue and profitability in 2020-21. Revenue rebounded in 2021-22 as social distancing restrictions eased and people flocked back to bars and pubs. Demand for premium spirits is driving revenue growth in 2023-24, although it's...

9. Concrete Construction Product Manufacturing in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 11.4%

Strong government spending has fostered growth in residential and infrastructure markets, maintaining demand for concrete products. These policies include the Help to Buy scheme, which supports first-time buyers, and the £650 billion National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline. The commercial markets have proved less successful, hampered by Brexit-induced scepticism. COVID-19 further compounded uncertainty from businesses, deterring them from undergoing investment projects during 2020. Concrete manufacturers were also forced to halt operations during lockdowns, dramatically cutting production volumes. Nonetheless, industry-wide revenue is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.6% over the five years through 2022-23, including an anticipated growth... Learn More

10. Railway Equipment Manufacturing in the UK

Growth in Imports for 2025: 10.3%

Rolling stock manufacturers rely heavily on long-term rolling stock replacement contracts. These contracts have long lead times and involve periodic payments throughout the manufacturing process, followed by a balloon payment when the project reaches completion, creating a high level of revenue and profit volatility. The industry's performance is heavily dependent on the performance of Alstom Transport and Hitachi Rail, with both companies holding 55.3% of market share. Revenue is forecast to drop at a compound annual rate of 8.1% over the five years through 2023-24 to £2 billion, including an expansion of 0.5% in 2023-24.

In 2020-21, revenue dropped fell by... Learn More
