BEAMA Market Pulse - Q2 2026
The latest edition of BEAMA’s Market Pulse provides a snapshot of the current health of the UK electrical products supply chain, drawing on real-time insights from manufacturers across the sector.
The Q2 2026 findings highlight continued challenges for UK electrical manufacturing, with subdued business optimism, falling sales volumes and capacity utilisation at its lowest level since the pandemic. At the same time, manufacturers continue to signal their intention to invest, recruit and expand their capacity to meet the long-term demands of electrification.
This edition explores the pressures facing the industry, from softer construction activity and uncertainty around electricity network demand to rising raw material costs, alongside developments and opportunities across electric transport, smart energy systems, heat electrification, smart metering and building electrical systems.
The Market Pulse also looks at the policy landscape and the practical steps needed to turn the UK's ambitions for electrification and Clean Power 2030 into sustained demand and investment across the domestic supply chain.
