Steady digitalisation and automation.
One stated objective of British industry is steady digitalisation
and automation.
When Brexit has been negotiated and the gen-
eral conditions have become clear, there will be increased export
potential here for German producers. Products such as uninter-
ruptible power supply, batteries and accumulators for mobile de-
vices, and electricity distribution and switching equipment will be
needed increasingly as part of the transformation process.
The transport and infrastructure sectors are also switching
to digital products.
This applies, for example, to town planning,
public transport and ports and airports. Suppliers of electronic
indicator boards or traffic monitoring and control equipment for
railways, roads, water and air will be in demand in the mediumto
long term. However, the high level of uncertainty is likely to
dampen uncertainty until Brexit has been negotiated.
