In 2023, the total number of scientific publications in Chemical Engineering in the UK stood at a baseline from which the forecasted data begins. From 2024, a steady increase in publications is anticipated: rising from 1.6 thousand to 1.71 thousand by 2028. This growth reflects a year-on-year increase averaging around 1.5% in the initial years, and accelerating slightly as we approach 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period of approximately 1.7%.
Future trends to watch for include an increased focus on sustainability and green technologies in Chemical Engineering, which could drive further interest and research initiatives. Collaboration between academic institutions and industry to address global environmental challenges may also spur additional publications.
