Report sets out how next Government can reap rewards from space for Britain – sector to grow from £6 billion today to £40 billion by 2030A|D|S, the UK’s AeroSpace, Defence and Security trade organisation is publishing a manifesto for the British space sector on May 5, 2010. The document aims to advise the new Government that will be elected on 6 May how it can harness a major growth industry to boost UK’s economy.
The UK space industry has risen to international success with annual revenues of £6 billion per annum and contributing £5.6 billion to UK GDP. With eyes firmly on the future, the UK space industry is aiming to increase its share of the global market to 10% from the current level of 6%. This strategy will transform the UK industry from a £6bn to a £40bn sector over the next 20 years. A|D|S has set out a path for growth in the space manifesto and strong Government commitment and support for space programmes is a vital component in achieving this success.
Ian Godden, Chairman of A|D|S, said: “We are entering a fertile period for our space industry. Space makes the economy global, delivering benefits to the UK as a worldwide trading nation. UK space companies have built up leading capabilities in key export markets, including broadband, monitoring deforestation and geo-data. The UK is now the leading exporter of satellite-based tools to the developing world. Britain's technology lead in satellite radar, space software, small satellites and military communications represent huge export opportunities. With the recent launch of the UK Space Innovation and Growth Strategy the UK has set out how it is going to raise its game.
It’s no exaggeration to say that without a space infrastructure much of our global economy would cease to operate. In fact, without space hardware such as satellites, the world would lose much of the growth it has experienced over the last 50 years. Space is an essential engine of the economy and as the world becomes ever more globalised our dependence on its infrastructure will continue to increase.”
