A unique collaboration between government and industry providing independent and impartial analysis on the contribution of the defence sector.
The UK Defence Solutions Centre is home to the Joint Economic Data Hub (JEDHub) and is a collaborative initiative to improve the understanding of the defence sector’s contribution to the UK economy. Designed to provide better, consistent, and impartial data, the JEDHub is supported by government, industry and academia.
JEDHub considers the economic contribution the defence sector makes to the UK economy in a number of ways – including its national and regional contribution; its contribution to skills and productivity; as well as its impact on international trade and the broader UK supply chain.
The latest 2025 Annual
Economic Report is
now available.
The fourth iteration of the Annual Economic Report 2025 builds on JEDHub’s ongoing commitment to measuring and demonstrating the economic contribution of the UK defence sector.
Maintaining the same rigorous methodological approach, the report draws on the findings of the 2024 JEDHub Industry Survey and continues to provide clear, evidence-based analysis of the sector’s role within the wider economy.
The analysis is structured across the same core themes as previous years, ensuring consistency across reports:
- People in Defence
- Value
- Investment and Skills
- Trade
- Supply Chain
