The UK life sciences sector is on a fast-growth trajectory and is now central to the UK’s economic growth throughout the 2020s. As the sector grows, the real estate supporting it is changing and adapting, attracting increased level of capital and equity.
Government spending on research and development will increase to £20bn in fiscal year 2024 -2025, the largest increase in spending ever seen. Recent investments and initiatives demonstrate the Government's focus on sector growth, from the £520m funding package for life sciences manufacturing announced in the most recent Autumn Statement to changes to R&D tax credits and clinical trials accelerator schemes.
Public and private investment is accelerating as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. But this is only part of the picture. Technology and data, open innovation, next wave manufacturing, ESG and emerging fields of science are transforming the market.
