With 6000 businesses and 8000 products launched in the UK every year, the FMCG Food Manufacturing industry is the largest manufacturing sector and has a far-reaching impact on the nation’s economy. Food and drink manufacturing contributed £30bn to the UK economy, growing by 4.2% on the previous year.

The industry has a turnover of more than £112bn, accounting for 20% of total UK manufacturing as the biggest manufacturing sector in the country

Food and drink manufacturers directly employ over 468,000 people across the UK

Data & Trends 2021 shows that the EU food and drink industry employs 4.5 million people, generates a turnover of €1.1 trillion and €222 billion in value added, making it one of the largest manufacturing industries in the EU. In half of the EU’s 27 Member States, the food and drink industry is the biggest manufacturing employer

The UK packaging manufacturing sector has annual sales of around GBP 11 billion, employing more than 85,000 people, representing 3% of the country's manufacturing workforce

Despite the staggering growth, one of the most protracted problems facing the industry is the critical shortage of skilled workers; the need for a highly-trained workforce is intensifying rapidly.
