Society of Maritime Industries

The 4^th Marine Science & Technology Industry Trends Survey to be undertaken at OI2012

Once again the Society of Maritime Industries will be undertaking the fourth iteration of the annual trends survey of the UK marine science and technology industry at Oceanology International. Seen as a key indicator of how the industry has performed over the previous year, the survey also provides a view of where the industry expects to develop its business in the future.

Last year’s survey showed the industry turnover to be over GBP1.1 billion per annum and 63% had increased their staff numbers at a time when many other sectors were shrinking their workforce. Moreover, business outlook was highly positive with 65% of companies experiencing growth in the past 12 months and over 70% of companies predicting growth over the next 12 months. This is a remarkable performance in the current economic climate and it will be interesting to see if this sense of optimism has continued into 2012.
