The European computer and peripheral equipment market is dominated by imports, creating stiff competition for local manufacturers. Asian countries such as China, Taiwan and South Korea, which are characterised by cost-efficient manufacturing and high production capacities, dominate sales. In response, manufacturers in countries such as Germany, the UK and France have moved away from the mass production of electronics to serve niche markets that value innovation and customisation. For example, German companies are focusing on high-performance industrial computers, while some British companies are developing computers with sophisticated encryption technologies. At the same time, some large companies, including Dell, HP, Lenovo and Acer, have production facilities in Hungary and Czechia. Despite the higher costs compared to production in Asia, these European locations help companies respond to the requirements of the European market. Over the five years through 2024, revenue is expected to dip at a compound annual rate of 1.1% to €41.2 billion. Computer manufacturers struggled in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak, which brought about huge supply chain disruption, hitting companies that rely on components made in Asia hard. In the current year, computer manufacturers are being challenged by high inflation and shaky economic conditions across Europe, which is causing consumers and companies to think twice before spending on new tech. As a result, revenue is declining by 2.5% in 2024. Computer manufacturing revenue growth in Europe will likely by constrained by high labour costs, a focus on software rather than hardware and market saturation. To counteract declining demand for PCs created by more widespread smartphone use, European computer manufacturers might look to focus on niche markets that require high computing power, such as gaming and content creation, and target those consumers seeking both portability and functionality with innovative products, such as convertible laptops. Over the five years through 2029, revenue is expected to rise at a compound annual rate of 3.9% to €50.0 billion.

Technical testing and analysis companies provide crucial services to companies in all sectors of the economy. The construction, industrial production and energy sectors are the major markets for these services. These sectors rely on broader economic conditions, which often dictate their demand for testing and analysis services. The COVID-19 outbreak at the beginning of the previous five-year period, along with the subsequent inflationary environment, has significantly impacted construction and manufacturing output, reducing demand for testing and analysis services. However, the energy and IT sectors have increased their levels of demand in recent years, propping up revenue. Revenue is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.7% to €79.7 billion over the five years through 2025, including an estimated rise of 2.8% in 2025. The reduced level of industrial production and construction activity limited spending on testing services in 2020. As conditions improved and activity in the manufacturing and construction sectors rebounded, the need for materials and products to be tested surged. However, soaring inflation and heightened economic uncertainty have weakened spending on technical testing and analysis services as output in downstream markets has suffered. However, as interest rates have been falling across Europe over the past two years through 2025, cheaper borrowing costs will support demand from the construction and industrial sectors, as more projects become financially feasible. Rising costs in 2025, driven by the introduction of tariffs from the US, have led to higher input expenses, including chemicals, which have hindered profit growth for the industry in 2025. Improving economic conditions and lower European inflation rates will stimulate greater investment and business spending, with demand for technical testing and analysis following suit. Government funding and initiatives supporting the manufacturing, nuclear energy and construction sectors will further bolster demand. Environmental efforts, driven by the EU and UK's sustainability targets, will also generate an uptick for testing services as businesses strive to achieve accreditations and comply with regulations. Investments in advanced technology like AI, drones and telecommunication infrastructure will boost the need for comprehensive testing, especially in cybersecurity due to increasing threats. A growing number of testing and analysis companies will consequently expand their capabilities to capitalise on these opportunities. Revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 7.1% to €112.5 billion over the five years through 2030.
