Continued Recovery Signals a Strong 2025

The market continues to show promising signs of recovery throughout 2025, with robust improvements reflected in our headline statistics and proprietary market data. While the first half of the year fell slightly short of 2024’s mid-year performance, the upward momentum versus the last six months of 2024 is undeniable. Key businesses are re-entering the market, actively expanding their supply chains, and seeking new opportunities to grow.

Despite ongoing concerns around global economic volatility and uncertainty in the media, the market remains resilient. Notably, the anticipated impact of recent US tariff packages has yet to materialize in a significant way. Businesses are proactively managing potential risks, but the overall market outlook remains encouraging.

Government-Driven Growth and Sector Evolution 

June 2025 was a pivotal month for the sector, marked by continued growth in overall activity and an accelerated return to normalcy in market conditions. Even more noteworthy is the UK Government’s launch of two major initiatives:

• Modern Industrial Strategy 2025
• UK Infrastructure: A 10-Year Strategy

Together, these policies represent a decisive push to support economic growth and reinforce the sector’s long-term potential. With flexible funding packages, targeted plans, and over £1.35 billion in public funding available, these strategies offer businesses renewed confidence to plan for the future.

Key benefits include:

• Long-term frameworks designed to support sustainable economic growth.
• Funding injections timed to galvanize vital sectors.
• Increased alignment between public policy and private-sector goals.

While these changes will take time to fully impact the market, early signs suggest that businesses may already be gaining confidence from these government commitments.

Looking Ahead

The path forward for 2025 remains optimistic. With policy-driven support, structural improvements, and businesses returning to seize new opportunities, the sector is poised for sustained growth.
