Over the next five years, the UK sectors likely to see the largest valuation growth are technology and AI, clean energy and net-zero solutions, professional and scientific services, and infrastructure-linked areas like data centres, driven by strong investment and growth prospects.

Over the next five years in the UK, the sectors most widely forecast to see the largest valuation and growth increases are digital and technology‑led industries (especially AI, cybersecurity and data infrastructure), clean and renewable energy (wind, battery storage, hydrogen etc.), and life sciences/advanced tech fields like biotech and advanced manufacturing because these areas are drawing serious investment and government focus as future growth engines.

Currently, technology and digital industries (especially AI, cybersecurity, and related services) are forecast to see strong valuation growth thanks to rapid innovation and investment. Clean energy and net-zero sectors are also expected to expand sharply as the UK pushes decarbonisation targets. Additionally, professional, scientific & technical services are projected to grow faster than the wider economy, lifting sector valuations over the next few years.
