Post-Recession Growth Sectors?

Pointing out future business

These difficult financial times are testing the resources of every business out there in the EU. Even the most hardened economic experts are reluctant to predict when the current recession will end and what life will be like afterwards. There is little doubt that things will never go back to ‘normal’.

Doom and gloom aside – this recession will one day come to an end and there is little doubt that tenders opportunites will still exist, however, uncovering these niches will require a little more intelligence and analysis than before.

The question is – what form will these opportunities take, and in what sectors are they most likely to materialise?

Surely, businesses within the EU public sector are going to have to become smarter. For example, there seems little point in trying to compete with China when it comes to large scale manufacturing or individual product markets – instead focus wil be more likely to shift into niches within these sectors. This could also act as the clarion call to the long-belegaured manufacturing sector – smaller scale and knowledge-led could be the answer.

All this is obviously conjecture on our part, and to be perfectly honest we need your help on this – what are most likely to come out of the current downturn as the most valuable sectors?
