3 Industry at a Glance These statistics have been compiled from the latest industry data on food and drink manufacturing and the most recent Office of National Statistics Annual Business Survey. The food and drink manufacturing industry is the single largest manufacturing sector in the UK, with a turnover of 92bn and Gross Value Added (GVA) of 24bn, accounting for 18% of the total manufacturing sector by turnover. The food and non-alcoholic drink sectors represented by FDF turnover 78.7bn and generate GVA of 20bn, accounting for 15% of the total manufacturing sector by turnover. The industry employs just over 400,000 workers. This represents 16% of the overall manufacturing workforce in the UK. Our sector is an important trading partner with Europe: exporting almost 19bn of food and drink products a year, with just over 12bn made up of food and non-alcoholic drink exports, 76% of which go to the EU. Our sector invests over 1bn in to R&D which translated to over 8,500 new products in Our industry has increased the productivity of its labour force over the last 10 years by 12% leaving food and drink workers in the UK nearly 50% more productive than the EU average. Food and drink manufacturing has become a safe and rewarding environment to work in: Businesses in our sector have reduced their rate of injuries by over 50% over the last 20 years, one of the biggest reductions of any business sector in the UK. An FDF survey conducted in 2010 indicated that the average tenure for employees was just under 9 years and more recent data shows that average earnings remain higher than the national average. The industry is a key partner for British farmers: buying two thirds of all the UK s agricultural produce. All this economic activity is carried out by over 7,700 food and drink enterprises many of which are small companies employing less than 10 people.

4 The Future of the Manufacturing Industry Sustained future demand for manufacturing workers: UK manufacturing employment has declined significantly in the past (from around 9 million people in 1966 compared with less than 3 million in 2011). Any future declines will be much smaller, with around 170,000 fewer people in the sector projected by 2020 compared with However, there will be around 800,000 jobs to fill in the years up to 2020, as people retire or leave manufacturing. An ageing population and the need to accommodate more older workers: Over the period to 2050, the UK will have an ageing population, with the number of people aged 65 years and over (i.e. of traditional retirement age) set to increase, while the numbers of traditional working age people are set to decrease. By 2030, 17% of the UK population will be aged between There will be a number of challenges in making manufacturing attractive to older workers, particularly in sub-sectors with the oldest age profiles including manufacturing of machinery and fabricated metal products. Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) qualifications: By 2020 there are expected to be an additional 80,000 managerial, professional and associate professional and technical positions in manufacturing. Overall, many jobs will require apprentice, degree and technician level STEM qualifications, especially in product design and development. Future demand is currently likely to exceed supply especially as, at present, only around a quarter of engineering and technology graduates work in manufacturing six months after graduation. Demand for technical specialism combined with commercial and problem solving abilities: The precise mix of skills in demand for the factories of the future will vary by sub-sector, but new blends of skills will increase manufacturers ability to exploit new opportunities. These blends of high quality skills will allow developed economies such as the UK to increasingly compete in terms of the quality of their workforce. A need to improve the perception of manufacturing amongst young people and women and to raise the quality of UK managers: Young people and women tend to have a negative perception of manufacturing, with 67% of girls aged 7-11 years indicated that they would not like a job in manufacturing compared with 44% of boys. In addition, the UK currently fares poorly on the quality of its managers: average scores for management practices in surveys of manufacturing in different countries show that Great Britain scores below the US, Japan, Germany, Sweden, and Canada, but is on a par with Australia, Italy and France. Strong leadership teams and distributed leaders in key positions throughout manufacturing businesses will be essential in the future. The potential for human enhancement: By 2050 patterns of employment will be influenced by new forms of human enhancement and augmented capabilities. These may support mental performance and physical mobility, and help counter the effects of ageing. Information provided by the Government Office for Science
