Electronic & Optical Equipment Repair in the UK Industry Data and Analysis
The UK’s Electronic & Optical Equipment Repair industry in the UK has navigated a mixed environment, supported by its essential service role for critical industries, including healthcare, aviation and defence. Demand has been buoyed by rising activity in the aerospace and defence sectors, as air traffic returns to pre-pandemic levels and government spending on both healthcare and military technology ramps up. At the same time, budget boosts have prompted major clients, for example, the NHS, to replace rather than repair outdated equipment when possible, capping opportunities for repairers. The pace of orders is further influenced by the rapid adoption of advanced technology, which pushes service providers to invest in new diagnostic tools like oscilloscopes and specialist upskilling to service increasingly complex systems. Revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 0.3% over the five years through 2025-26 to £836.6 million, including a dip of 0.2% in 2025-26.
