22/01/2024 minute read OneAdvanced PR

We are excited to announce the release of our Manufacturing Sector Trends Report 2024. 

Our 8th Annual Business Trends Report launched last year, and now it is time to get sector specific! We unveil separate reports for a variety of sectors, with survey findings backed up by industry insights.  

Manufacturing faces a unique set of challenges. From EU-UK trade agreements to supply chain disruption, net zero to the UK Procurement Bill, find out how other leaders are responding to the high priority issues. What are your peers concerned about, and what actions are they taking? 

Our report, titled ‘Manufacturing the future in a cost of doing business crisis’, explores trends across the sector, including people and skills, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policy, tech transformation and cybersecurity. Find out: 

  • The current number one challenge for manufacturing leaders  
  • Where the sector is falling behind on ESG initiatives 
  • How to overcome barriers to digital transformation  
  • Why cybersecurity should be top of the business agenda 
  • How many manufacturing firms are already using AI into operations 

& more! 

This report provides a host of useful statistics about how UK manufacturing firms are operating and what is on the mind of their leaders. You can take these to team members to influence change, use them to inform your 2024 strategy or leverage them to ensure whole company buy-in on business evolution.
