This statistic shows total domestic consumption expenditure in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2005 to 2023. In 2023, consumer spending in the UK increased compared to the previous year, and amounted to approximately 1.6 trillion British pounds. Household consumption expenditure looks at the overall spending on consumer goods and services of a wide variety. Some examples are government licenses and permits, such as a passport renewal or the price of train tickets to get to work. Housing may also be accounted for in these figures. This figure is measured by how much the consumer actually pays at the point of sale. All fast moving consumer goods such a beer, or cigarettes are also accounted for in this data. One part of the United Kingdom, Scotland, has seen as increase in its overall household expenditure year over year since 2009, with figures reaching over 100 billion British pounds in 2018. There was a small decrease in expenditure in 2009, which was possibly a result of the economic recession which hit all of the United Kingdom hard at this time. This drop can also be seen when looking at the whole of the United Kingdom in this statistic.

The UK inflation rate was 3.8 percent in July 2025, up from 3.6 percent in the previous month, and the fastest rate of inflation since January 2024. Between September 2022 and March 2023, the UK experienced seven months of double-digit inflation, which peaked at 11.1 percent in October 2022. Due to this long period of high inflation, UK consumer prices have increased by over 20 percent in the last three years. As of the most recent month, prices were rising fastest in the communications sector, at 6.1 percent, but were falling in both the furniture and transport sectors, at -0.3 percent and -0.6 percent, respectively.
The Cost of Living Crisis High inflation is one of the main factors behind the ongoing Cost of Living Crisis in the UK, which, despite subsiding somewhat in 2024, is still impacting households going into 2025. In December 2024, for example, 56 percent of UK households reported their cost of living was increasing compared with the previous month, up from 45 percent in July, but far lower than at the height of the crisis in 2022. After global energy prices spiraled that year, the UK's energy price cap increased substantially. The cap, which limits what suppliers can charge consumers, reached 3,549 British pounds per year in October 2022, compared with 1,277 pounds a year earlier. Along with soaring food costs, high-energy bills have hit UK households hard, especially lower income ones that spend more of their earnings on housing costs. As a result of these factors, UK households experienced their biggest fall in living standards in decades in 2022/23. Global inflation crisis causes rapid surge in prices The UK's high inflation, and cost of living crisis in 2022 had its origins in the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the initial waves of the virus, global supply chains struggled to meet the renewed demand for goods and services. Food and energy prices, which were already high, increased further in 2022. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 brought an end to the era of cheap gas flowing to European markets from Russia. The war also disrupted global food markets, as both Russia and Ukraine are major exporters of cereal crops. As a result of these factors, inflation surged across Europe and in other parts of the world, but typically declined in 2023, and approached more usual levels by 2024.

Europe’s Grain Milling and Starch Manufacturing industry has battled high inflation and supply chain instability, causing substantial revenue volatility. Costs surged in 2022, including grains and energy prices, as a result of the Ukraine War and subsequent supply shocks. This forced up industry selling prices, supporting a bump in revenue over the year. In the years following, grain prices and energy costs have trended downwards, which has been mirrored in industry prices and revenue. Over the five years through 2025, revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.1% to €99 billion. In 2025, revenue is forecast to fall 1.4% as inflation continues to squeeze downstream demand. In the last half-decade, Europe’s starch producers have profited from innovations in starch applications, particularly in the domain of sustainable packaging. Recognising the pressing global need for eco-friendly materials, manufacturers have turned to starch-based biodegradable packaging, providing a green alternative to non-degradable plastics. Producers adapted to shifting consumer preferences as the pan-European surge in popularity for whole grains, organic and gluten-free options became evident. Grain and starch producers have withstood increased production costs by passing these hikes onto consumers, keeping profit afloat while downstream demand has slowed. Over the next five years, revenue for grain and starch producers will swell as consumer spending picks up, driving demand for staple food items like grains. An ongoing push for sustainable practices and healthier lifestyles will bolster demand for starches and whole grains. As disposable income rises, consumers will spend more on high margin goods. Starch producers will benefit from a demand spike for starch-based biodegradable packaging materials as green policies strengthen. In a more stable economic climate, producers will invest more in innovation and expansion, helping them weather price fluctuations in global grain markets. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 3.5%, reaching €117.4 billion.

Over the five years through 2024-25, the UK warehousing and storage industry is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 5.6% to £36.3 billion. The growing popularity of online shopping and fast-moving consumer goods in the UK has significantly enhanced demand for warehousing and storage facilities. As supply chains become more complex, the industry has adapted by expanding warehouses, integrating advanced technologies and consolidating operations to meet new customer demands. Warehouses have evolved into distribution centres where goods are packed and stored for final delivery, particularly amid the recent e-commerce boom, which has opened up substantial income opportunities for the industry. The industry's performance is heavily influenced by output and demand in downstream markets. Rampant inflation has driven up operating costs and eroded business and consumer confidence, leading to a decline in output, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Additionally, slumped consumer spending reduces demand for warehousing services, as less stock is needed. However, the transition from Just-in-Time to Just-in-Case inventory management has improved revenue prospects by prompting businesses to reduce the risks associated with lean inventories during supply chain disruptions. This shift underscores the increasingly crucial role of warehousing and storage facilities for businesses within the economy. Warehousing companies are enhancing their services with better packaging, labelling, tagging and tracking processes, addressing the rising need for same-day and next-day deliveries fuelled by online retail expansion. Warehouses are increasingly adopting automation and robotics to meet these demands and improve the accuracy and speed of fulfilment. While such technologies help mitigate rising costs – like wages, rent and energy – challenges persist in the industry. In 2024-25, revenue is forecast to climb by 1.3%. Over the five years through 2029-30, industry revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 4.1% to £44.5 billion. Savill's UKWA 2024 report shows warehouse stock levels will keep skyrocketing over the coming years. However, companies will continue to face conventional challenges, like the limited availability of high-quality and affordable warehouse space, worsened by stricter building regulations. Nonetheless, online retailing activity will remain high after, representing a significant growth opportunity for the industry. Warehousing companies should continue investing in value-added services, innovative technology and automation, like packing robots, to cater to a booming online retail sector and FMCG, boosting productivity and supporting profit.
