The Water Collection, Treatment and Supply industry provides essential services to households and businesses, keeping demand steady from year to year. Water companies are subject to regulation regarding prices charged and services provided. They have to submit a breakdown of their performance and five-year business plan to industry regulators, which then set the prices companies can charge. Revenue is expected to inch upwards at a compound annual rate of 0.9% over the five years through 2024-25 to £9.2 billion, including a projected 1.8% hike in 2024-25. Consistent UK population growth and an increasing number of UK businesses have aided demand by expanding the client pool for water companies. The number of households with a water meter has risen to 60% of all households. However, metered houses account for far less revenue than unmetered houses as water meters enable customers to track their water consumption, encouraging them to limit their usage and lower their water bills. Growing public concern over environmental issues has urged consumers to cut their water usage, constraining revenue. Water companies must pump money into maintaining and updating infrastructure and equipment to become more efficient and provide better services. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.7% to £10.1 billion. Rising industrial and construction output, alongside a growing number of businesses, will support demand. According to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, in October 2024, the UK government welcomed plans from 4 international tech companies to invest £6.3 billion in UK data centre infrastructure in the coming years, which will massively boost demand for water due to the high volumes of water needed to cool data centres. Additionally, the growing population and increased investment due to the five-year Asset Management Plan worth £104 billion from 2025-2030 will support revenue growth. However, increased investment in infrastructure to reduce leakages and pollution, combined with price caps, will constrain revenue and profitability.

The main aims of the project are three-fold:
(1) To identify and describe the development of the electricity industry in Britain prior to the formation of the national grid using company market-based financial data; and
(2) To construct a consistent data set of the key market-based financial characteristics of the principle companies.
(3) To use this to examine the development of the British electricity industry compared to similar development in the United States and Germany.

Over the five years through 2024-25, revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 6.4% to £40.9 billion. Advertising agencies have benefitted from expanding advertising budgets. Resilient consumer spending and surging online advertising work as internet and device access reach new heights have lifted revenue. Major sporting events have also underpinned demand for TV advertising. However, the cost-of-living crisis has forced businesses to become more cautious when considering marketing budgets, weighing on demand. Business and consumer confidence has plunged in reaction to economic woes, with the GFK hitting its lowest point in 2022-23, slashing ad spending as companies attempted to cut to save money. Revenue recovery has proved successful, driven by formidable growth in emerging markets and the urge to return to business as usual with the confidence rebooting. In 2024-25, revenue is expected to swell by 3.9% off the back of strong online advertising sales, with the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Euros and general election providing a marked jump. Revenue is forecast to hike at an annual rate of 3.1% over the five years through 2029-30 to £47.6 billion. Inflation will continue stabilising and falling interest rates will encourage investment, requiring advertisers to promote new projects. This will continue to improve household finances and business confidence. Companies' efforts to enhance research and development in advanced digital and AI products are likely to boost demand, as businesses typically promote new products and services through ads. This increased focus on innovation could lead to new offerings that need visibility, driving higher advertising expenditure to capture consumer attention. However, while demand for online advertising services is projected to boom, the benefits may be limited, resulting from more companies dealing directly with online providers, increased competition and market saturation. The rapid emergence of AI technology has led to mass investment from big companies, like WPP, meaning smaller companies may want to find niche markets to cater to as they could be unable to match the AI arsenal of the heavy hitters.

Corporate travel is closely tied to fluctuations in business confidence. Economic uncertainty, Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, which grinded the industry to a halt, significantly dented revenue for agencies in the five years through 2020-21 and it is still adapting to the new working trends and spending strategies of corporate companies post-pandemic in 2024-25. Demand for travel services has also faced recent hurdles of high prices for flights and hotels due to high inflation and companies trying to curb their carbon emissions. Video calls are now a cemented alternative to domestic and international business travel that saves time and money for companies. Demand from the industry's largest downstream market, the banking, financial services and insurance industries, has declined due to the relocation of many firms out of the UK to avoid the loss of passporting rights, which they lost back in 2021. Loss of major financial clients has left a lingering impression on demand for corporate travel agents. Although industry revenue is expected to grow by 13.4% in 2024-25 due to the gradual recovery of international travel, revenue is anticipated to decrease at a compound annual rate of 4.1% to £4.5 billion over the five years through 2024-25. Agencies have faced unsustainably high operational expenses in recent years, driving many out of the industry and lowering profit. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is expected to rise at a compound annual rate of 4.8% to reach £5.7 billion, albeit remaining below pre-pandemic levels. The industry is significantly affected by business confidence and profit, meaning the pace at which the economy recovers following sluggish economic growth and dented business confidence is likely to influence industry revenue heavily over the coming years. The growing use of virtual meetings and events, combined with the ever-growing demand for online travel agents, will slow the market's full recovery.
