The UK faces a pivotal moment. With productivity under pressure and global competition rising, robotics and automation present a clear path to growth – boosting efficiency, strengthening supply chains, and creating higher-value jobs.
- Adoption could add £150bn to GDP by 2035
- Robotics can deliver 22% productivity gains in manufacturing
- SMEs stand to benefit most, yet adoption remains uneven
The message is clear: automation isn’t about replacing people, it’s about empowering them and futureproofing UK industry.
