The gross value added per employee FTE in the UK for the operation of gravel and sand pits, and mining of clays and kaolin is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. From 2023, the value stood at approximately 74.19 thousand Euros. The year-on-year forecasts show a decrease of around 1% per year, resulting in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -1.0% over the five-year period, signaling a subtle but consistent downward trend for this industry segment.
Future trends to watch include possible regulatory changes affecting mining practices, technological advancements in extraction methods, and fluctuations in construction demand which significantly impact the mineral resource industry. Economic factors such as currency fluctuations and trade agreements post-Brexit could also influence profitability and production efficiency.
