Shipbuilding revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 1.2% to £6.6 billion over the five years through 2023-24, including a projected growth of 1.3% in 2023-24. Shipbuilders produce military vessels for the Royal Navy and foreign governments, providing a steady revenue stream. Import competition in the passenger ship segment is intensifying due to lower production costs in Europe and Asia, leading to the demise of this segment. Despite this, exports account for a large share of revenue thanks to warships built for foreign militaries.Strong support: New contracts are supporting revenue growth in 2023-24
