The Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing industry is highly competitive, with low selling prices and tight profitability. These low prices, as well as the release of new and enhanced products, computer software and applications, have helped to drive sales. However, computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing activity has largely shifted to countries with low-cost labour and more efficient supply chains. Revenue is estimated to decline at a compound annual rate of 2.3% over the five years through 2024-25 to £2.3 billion, largely due to falling unit prices and high import penetration. Manufacturers have had some respite in the form of government and business contracts, with some manufacturers operating in niche markets performing reasonably well. However, competition from abroad has intensified significantly. This has forced some unprofitable manufacturers out of the industry, while some have transferred production capacity to countries where manufacturing costs are lower than in the UK, like China and parts of Eastern Europe. The number of companies operating in the industry has consequently fallen. In 2024-25, revenue is expected to drop by 5.1% as poor economic conditions hold back sales to both households and businesses. The next five years promise opportunities for growth if UK manufacturers are able to take advantage of them. Ever-advancing technology in the fields of AI and quantum computing will demand improved hardware equipment to keep up. The government has committed billions of spending to help the UK keep at the cutting edge of technology, which should prop up future sales – especially as the public sector is one of the industry’s largest markets. Growth is likely to be supported by an increased emphasis on niche products, where manufacturers can compete with low-cost foreign competitors. Revenue is forecast to edge upwards at a compound annual rate of 2.4% over the five years through 2029-30 to £2.5 billion.
