Research and insight

Energy and low material costs
Much of the UK’s power station fleet now faces retirement. The pace of the new build programme is slow, beset by delays and uncertainties, particularly regarding nuclear. For industry, the danger is that a shortage of power could derail hopes of a manufacturing recovery and expose UK manufacturers to expensive energy imports.
Moving to a low-carbon economy
For manufacturers the good news is that despite its many challenges, the low carbon economy has the potential to provide the UK manufacturing sector with significant opportunities for growth. In short, manufacturing can thrive in producing innovative goods and technologies to help reduce carbon emissions.
Emerging markets - the big question
For UK manufacturers, sourcing successfully from emerging markets is not simply a question of avoiding the risks – instead it is a matter of managing them effectively through enhanced vendor selection, testing, monitoring, and contract provisions.
