Growth prospects look positive in the UK health and safety products sector

This market is mature and, as a consequence, is heavily reliant on activity and output in construction and manufacturing, as well as a strong economy. It is also strongly price driven as a result of rising imports, which has constrained value growth in recent years.

According to ‘Health and Safety Products Market Report - UK 2015-2019 Analysis’, published by AMA Research: "In the short term, demand will be sustained by the current positive economic trends, with growth in construction, manufacturing and services driving recovery. In the medium term, the outlook for construction remains fairly positive, with growth in housebuilding and general construction activity. Changes to legislation are ongoing and the outlook for employment is also positive.”
