牛津经济研究院-英国建筑厂租赁行业的经济影响（英）-2024-32页_4mb

In this comprehensive study, the construction plant-hire sector in the UK is analyzed for its economic impact. This sector involves companies that lease construction equipment to building firms, which is crucial for the functioning of the larger construction industry.

The sector contributed £10.5 billion in revenue in 2022, subsequently creating a direct GDP contribution of £6.4 billion. This was due primarily to wages and profits generated. The total economic impact, including indirect and induced contributions, was estimated at £14 billion, or 2.18 times the direct impact.

Direct employment in the sector is around 88,600 people, compared to a total workforce support of 191,500 jobs, with the total employment impact being 2.16 times the direct employment. Production efficiency within the sector is also high, with workers being 16% more productive than the national average.

Indirect contributions through supply chain purchases and induced contributions through employee consumption further expanded the sector's economic footprint, impacting various industries such as manufacturing, retail, and administrative services.

The methodologies used included gathering financial data, linking with official statistics from the Office for National Statistics, and employing an input-output model to quantify indirect and induced effects. Stakeholder inputs were also incorporated to refine the analysis.

Overall, this report highlights the vital role of the construction plant-hire sector not only as an essential component within the construction field but also as a driver of broader UK economic activity.
