UK Productivity Tracker

Tackling the UK's productivity puzzle

Reviving productivity is a key economic challenge for the UK, in which the industrials and services sector plays a crucial role. The Industrials and Services sectors are increasingly embracing technology and digitisation to decarbonise and pave the way for a greener, smarter future - one that boosts competitiveness and unlocks sustainable growth.

As investments in technology accelerate, our UK Productivity Tracker will analyse progress across industrial manufacturing, (automotive) and (aerospace), engineering and construction and business support services. We draw on our own quantitative research, including data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), as well as our industry expertise and client insights, to offer broader perspectives of the UK's 'productivity puzzle'.
