Europe’s Optical Instrument and Photographic Equipment Manufacturing industry has experienced notable growth driven by increasing demand for optical instruments in the medical and scientific sectors. Technological innovation in medical devices using optical systems has boosted demand, particularly for endoscopy systems, microscopes and optical tomography systems for biomedical research. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases and greater demand for healthcare services due to ageing European populations have also boosted demand for optical instruments and lenses. The industry continues to face challenges like competition from imported products, particularly from countries like China, with cost advantages, pressuring profitability for European manufacturers. The widespread adoption of smartphones has, on the one hand, driven demand for blue light and computer lenses but also caused a dramatic decline in demand for traditional photographic equipment like digital cameras. Revenue in Europe’s Optical and Photographic Equipment Manufacturing industry has contracted at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2024, declining by 1.6% to €20.1 billion in 2024. Manufacturers in France, Germany and Spain are trying to counter the decline in camera sales by offering specialised features and high-performance cameras targeted at professional photographers.

Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.8% over the five years through 2029, reaching approximately €25.3 billion. Manufacturers want to tap into new foreign markets to drive future revenue growth. As Europe’s population ages, there will be greater demand for medical equipment using optical instruments, ensuring steady demand for industry products. The automotive industry will be a growing market thanks to self-driving cars and the telecommunications industry will lean toward fibre optic networks.

Europe's seafood processing and preserving industry has struggled to navigate the rough economic waters of inflation and changing consumer preferences over the last five years. Recently, inflation has bolstered fish prices significantly, which, paired with dwindling disposable income, has led many consumers to look toward alternatives to their usual seafood choices. Still, this climate has stimulated innovation in cost-effective processing and conservation methods. Sustainability has become a major catchword, with seafood consumers increasingly fishing for eco-friendly products. Revenue is projected to shrink at a compound annual rate of 5.6% over the five years through 2024, with an estimated slump of 5.3% in 2024 to reach €44.4 billion. Over recent years, an emphasis on sustainable practices has shaped the industry. Companies have been more transparent and responsible in their sourcing, catering to modern consumers who want eco-friendly options. In an economically volatile environment, tinned fish has arisen to offer seafood lovers convenience, sustainability and low prices. Technology has also begun encroaching on seafood processing, with automation increasingly taking on tedious tasks, cutting labour costs and boosting profit and efficiency across the board. Looking ahead, recovering economies will support seafood processing across Europe as it continues to adapt to shifting preferences and innovative technologies. Despite some resistance due to entrenched cultural traditions, plant-based seafood alternatives are expected to make bigger splashes in Spain and Italy. As the global appetite for quality European seafood swells, processors will expand their horizons to new international markets. In tumultuous times, focusing on these export markets will help stabilise revenues and offset the ups and downs of local markets. Over the five years through 2029, revenue is projected to swell at a compound annual rate of 0.5% to reach an estimated €45.5 billion.

Semiconductors are necessary chips in numerous applications, including household appliances, consumer electronics, communication equipment and vehicle manufacturing industries. They are also crucial inputs in infrastructure, including traffic lights, alarm systems, medical equipment and solar panels. Although UK companies design and produce many semiconductors, the UK is not a global market leader and contends with intense international competition from microchip giants like Taiwan, China, Japan and the US. Despite this, foreign interest in UK chip manufacturers has increased, with the UK leading the way with start-ups working on semiconductor technologies in Europe. For example, the Newport Wafer Fab, now operating as Vishay Newport Ltd, has had several owners in recent years. Over the five years through 2024-25, revenue is expected to dip at a compound rate of 3.6% to £1.8 billion. Since the EU referendum, some offshoring activity has occurred, with some companies outsourcing production line elements to countries that can provide manufacturing at lower labour costs and improve efficiencies, known as ‘fabless’ production. Revenue tanked over 2020-21 as manufacturers struggled to get the necessary components to produce microchips while downstream markets reduced orders. Over 2021-22 and 2022-23, downstream markets reopened and the global chip manufacturing output couldn't accommodate the surge in new orders in these markets, creating excess demand and propelling selling prices and revenue growth. However, the semiconductor market cooled over 2023-24 as a challenging economic environment lowered order volumes. Over 2024-25, revenue is forecast to inch downwards by 0.7%. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is expected to expand at a compound rate of 4% to reach £2.2 billion. The UK National Semiconductor Strategy reveals a new plan to double down on design, research and advanced chip leadership, propelling revenue growth over the coming years. Meanwhile, the emergence of 5G, AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) will significantly broaden the market for advanced semiconductors. These technologies require highly sophisticated semiconductor devices with low power consumption, high performance and connectivity features, which UK manufacturers are increasingly championing. However, intense international competition will continue to weigh on revenue prospects as Asian manufacturers strengthen their hold over the global semiconductor market.

In 2023, agriculture contributed around 0.58 percent to the United Kingdom’s GDP, 17.5 percent came from the manufacturing industry, and 72.53 percent from the services sector. The UK is not a farmer’s marketThe vast majority of the UK’s GDP is generated by the services sector, and tourism in particular keeps the economy going. In 2017, almost 214 billion British Pounds were contributed to the GDP through travel and tourism – about 277 billion U.S. dollars – and the forecasts see an upwards trend. For comparison, only an estimated 10.3 billion GBP were generated by the agriculture sector in the same year. But is it a tourist’s destination still? Though forecasts are not in yet, it is unclear whether travel and tourism can keep the UK’s economy afloat in the future, especially after Brexit and all its consequences. Higher travel costs, having to wait for visas, and overall more complicated travel arrangements are just some of the concerns tourists have when considering vacationing in the UK after Brexit. Consequences of the referendum are already observable in the domestic travel industry: In 2017, about 37 percent of British travelers said Brexit caused them to cut their holidays short by a few days, and about 14 percent said they did not leave the UK for their holidays because of it.
