Description
Providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date information and analysis of the UK Schools, Universities and Hospitals market, including the behaviours, preferences and habits of the consumer.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruption to all sectors throughout 2020 and 2021, especially in terms of construction and maintenance. The market value of construction of schools, universities and hospitals fell by 13%, with the limited resources available being focused on dealing directly with the COVID-19 pandemic.
With schools and universities shut down for the majority of 2020, there was a decline in education orders because of the lack of demand. However, the increased pressure on hospitals saw a sharp rise in public orders in the health sector, with many medical facilities struggling from limited capacity.
As the pandemic subsides, schools, universities and hospitals are going to see an increased focus on refurbishment over new construction. The pandemic has highlighted the issues with capacity, with many facilities needing major changes to meet the possible longer-term social-distancing measures. This includes more contactless technology, smoother one-way systems, improvements to IT infrastructure, and air filtration.
This report covers the current effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on schools, universities and hospitals, as well as the construction and public spending efforts in the wake of the virus. It also addresses the future of the sector, including market opportunities for recovery heading into the longer term.

Expert analysis from a specialist in the field
Written by Francesco Salau, a leading analyst in the B2B sector, her extensive knowledge delivers in-depth commentary and analysis to highlight current trends and add expert context to the numbers.
Severe disruption brought on by COVID-19 has meant a 13% reduction in the market’s value to £6.9 billion in 2020. This comes despite efforts in recent years to increase capital funding to address the condition of the public school and healthcare estates. The government affirmed a step change in investment through the announcement of a multi-year school rebuilding programme and additional funding for the previously announced hospital expansion plans. These commitments will drive activity in the sector, but operational restrictions due to COVID-19 may mean the market remains subdued until the virus’ prevalence subsides.
