Communication Equipment Manufacturing in the UK

The world is increasingly connected. People communicate through a host of devices and services such as smartphones and computers. Connections are made via radio, TV, infrastructure and smart devices such as alarm systems, which are now often connected directly to the authorities. Communications equipment is used to establish these connections and manufacturing such equipment is a vital component of the global manufacturing sector. UK firms specialise in producing high-value products, competing on quality rather than price. Despite high global demand, the industry is in long-term decline, as cost pressures have forced manufacturers to relocate offshore.

Companies in this industry manufacture telecommunication and broadcasting equipment. Products include telephones (fixed-line, cordless and mobile), data communications equipment, pagers, modems, burglar and fire alarm systems, transmitting and receiving antennae and radio and TV transmitters. The industry also manufactures other broadcasting equipment, including professional video cameras.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares."
