This trend is attributed to the widespread use of smartphones, with over 8.5 billion mobile subscribers worldwide in 2023, representing approximately 90% of the global population. The increasing popularity of over-t

The public relations (PR) and communications industry has expanded and is expected to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.6% to reach £4.7 billion over the five years through 2024-25. This growth is thanks to companies recognising the importance of maintaining a strong digital presence in the face of evolving media landscapes. Traditional media's shift towards new digital platforms has facilitated more direct interactions with target audiences, enhancing demand for PR services. The sector has consistently demonstrated resilience despite periodic fluctuations influenced by business confidence and government spending levels. The pandemic posed challenges as businesses curtailed PR spending amid dwindling confidence, yet government efforts to circulate vital information during the crisis partially cushioned this impact. As the industry navigates the post-pandemic economic landscape, it confronts both opportunities and hurdles. The evolution and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising productivity, enabling PR firms to allocate more resources towards creative strategies. This technological advancement, coupled with major global events (like the 2024 Paris Olympic games) and increased corporate engagement in socio-political issues, including the Israel-Hamas war, is set to spur demand for PR services. Notably, an expected 5% rise in industry revenue in 2024-25 underscores the sector's promising outlook. The industry's profitability is likely to step up, albeit modestly, constrained by economic uncertainties and the imperative for businesses to preserve profits amid potential client losses. Industry revenue is forecast to soar by 5.3% over the five years through 2029-30, reaching £6 billion. This growth will be underpinned by heightened business activity, augmented government spending and an expanding digital media landscape. Platforms (like websites, blogs and social media) offer fertile ground for expansion, promising to elevate profit alongside revenue. Nonetheless, emerging challenges, including intensifying competition and ethical considerations surrounding AI use, are poised to shape the industry's trajectory. Amid this dynamic environment, PR firms that adeptly navigate these trends while championing ethical and environmentally friendly practices are likely to capture increasing demand for PR services.

Wired telecommunications carriers in Europe have contended with intensifying competition as wireless technology (including mobile phones, 5G home broadband and over-the-top TV) has encroached on key markets. The expanding popularity and coverage of wireless telecommunication services have put pressure on prices for traditional wired services, constraining average revenue per user (ARPU) and weakening subscription numbers. Revenue is forecast to sink at a compound annual rate of 2.5% over the five years through 2025 to €231.6 billion, including a 1.8% dip in revenue in 2025. Building fibre optic infrastructure across the continent has secured fixed networks as the fastest and most reliable internet connection. The quicker speeds the technology offers have allowed ISPs to push up prices. However, slow rollout in key markets like Germany and the UK means that some telecom companies have yet to benefit fully. In the past few years, inflationary pressures have suppressed ARPU as consumers and businesses sought to save money. Constrained disposable incomes have caused many consumers to shop around for the best and cheapest deal, fostering enhanced price competition between providers. Outside competition has also accelerated, with online streaming platforms disrupting the traditional pay TV business model that cable TV providers rely on. Wired telecommunications carriers will continue to battle for market share with competing industries, especially wireless telecommunications carriers. The launch of more satellite internet providers and the promised future release of 6G are major threats to the industry. Wired carriers have lost a sizeable portion of subscribers and although this rate is projected to ease, more customers are likely to ditch their landlines and cable TV subscriptions. Nonetheless, the growing demand for faster Wi-Fi speeds and the rollout of fibre optic technologies will support revenue, limiting the overall dip. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is anticipated to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.1% to €257.5 billion.

The Wireless Telecommunications Carriers industry is highly concentrated, with four mobile network operators (MNOs) – EE, O2, Vodafone and Three – dominating the market. This means revenue is largely dictated by the performance of those top four MNOs. Higher consumer and business demand for wireless connectivity over wired telecoms has supported demand in recent years, as it's advancing to become faster and more reliable. However, revenue is expected to edge downwards at a compound annual rate of 6.4% to £13.1 billion over the five years through 2024-25. The shift in consumer preferences towards data-based communication, like Facebook and WhatsApp, over traditional voice calls and SMS, which have traditionally been higher revenue generators, has led to intense competition, which has reduced average revenue per user (ARPU) and regulatory pressures like reduced mobile termination rates. Economic challenges and affordability issues among consumers have further strained revenue as companies adjust their offerings to remain competitive amid these pressures. MNOs have benefitted from heightened demand for post-paid smartphones and data services as technology demands more data, with average monthly data usage booming 21% to 9.9 GB in 2023. Mobile phone usage and consumers seeking data services to use on their smartphones anytime, anywhere, has further boosted demand and customer access has improved, with 92% of premises being accessible by 5G as of November 2024. However, external competition is climbing with the growing popularity of apps and fierce internal competition, contributing to the drop in revenue. Weak consumer confidence, falling average revenue per user (ARPU) and increasing regulation (including cuts in mobile termination rates) have made operating conditions difficult for wireless telecom providers. Still, in 2024-25, revenue is set to climb by 1.1%, driven by greater 5G uptake, although the cost-of-living crisis has forced many people to cut spending and seek cheaper deals, lowering ARPU. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.2% over the five years through 2029-30 to £13.9 billion. Continued growth in demand for data services and declining competition from wired telecommunications will support MNOs. As 5G networks expand further across the UK, demand for telecom services from businesses and consumers alike is slated to swell. The high capital investment required to maintain and expand the network will likely constrain wireless telecom providers' profitability in the short term, but it will improve product offerings in the long term. However, challenges remain; intense competition and market saturation will likely continue to cut into ARPU, constraining revenue growth, while low MTRs and rising regulation are expected to further limit MNOs’ performance.

The UK fixed connectivity market, valued at £34.02 billion in 2025, is projected to experience steady growth, driven by increasing demand for high-speed internet access across residential and business sectors.
