Scotland

• Traditionally Scotland’s economy was industrydominated, particularly in ship-building, coalmining and steel. Since the decline of heavy manufacturing, the economy is moving towards knowledge-based and service-orientated industries.

Scotland has long been famed for its resilience in the face of adversity and this reputation extends to its economy.

In the past two decades, Scotland has shown consistently positive GDP growth, mimicking the trend of the Greater UK.

Scotland Economy

Despite uncertainties surrounding Brexit, the estimated nominal GDP in 2018 still grew to £170 billion and has continued to grow throughout 2019 by 0.7%. The first estimate for Q4 2019, released in March 2020, was stronger than the UK as a whole, at 0.2% GDP growth vs 0%.

Calendar year GDP growth

Scotland has come a long way in the past decade from an unemployment rate of 8.8% in 2010 to currently holding a rate below the UK national average. According to the most recent ONS Survey released in 2020, the unemployment rate in Scotland continued its downward trajectory, falling by another 0.2% to 3.5% while the UK wide unemployment rate remained at 3.9%.

Drawn to the charming country and favourable job prospects, migration is on the rise. Averaging 18,500 net migrants per annum, the driving force of Scotland’s population growth has come from this sector. Predictions suggest that 49% of the inward migration will be through relocations from other parts of the UK, whilst the 51% majority will come from overseas.

A strong factor in the GDP growth is Scotland’s foreign direct investment (fDi). According to the EY Scotland Attractiveness Survey, the region came second only to London in the number of new fDi projects.

Projected population, Scotland

In the last report EY recorded a total of 94 projects. The top three sectors generating the highest levels of inward investment for Scotland are digital (+16 projects), business services (+16 projects) and manufacturing & equipment (+12 projects).

FDI Projects announced in Scotland and percentage m arket share of UK projects 2009-18

The latest figures based on 2018 population projections show a total population growth of 2.5% to 2043, which would result in a total of 5.57 million residents.

Glasgow

• Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, is a leading destination for economic output.

The city saw more foreign direct investment than any other city in the country.

With a 2019 GVA of £20 billion, Glasgow produces approximatively 14% of all Scottish output. It is predicted to continue growing at 2.1% annually to 2029, a figure higher than the country’s annual growth rate.

Gross Value Added (GVA) in 2019 Total Local Authority GVA is:

£20bn

circa. 14% of total Scottish output

Forecast annual growth (2019-2029):

• Glasgow City: 2.1% • Scotland: 1.7% • United Kingdom: 2.0%

Future Demand For Skills and Job Openings

192,800 People to fill all job openings

From 2019-2029 total employment is expected to increase by 7%, or 31,500 jobs with the top employment sectors expected to be:

Human health & social work (84,500 jobs)

Admin & support services (66,500 jobs)

Wholesale & retail (55,100 jobs)

Glasgow’s buoyant economy has piqued investor interest.

So much so that The Financial Times’ fDi Magazine has crowned Glasgow the ‘large European city of the future for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) strategy’ award. It was also ranked second best UK Tech City in CBREs 2019 Tech Cities Report. This accolade is a result of Invest Glasgow’s (IG) strategic plan to become the UK’s best performing city for inward investment by 2023.

Glasgow’s a Leading City for the Future

As the first city in Scotland to establish its own innovation districts, Glasgow is leading the way in high growth industries.

BELL STREET GLASGOW

Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) Anchored by Glasgow Airport and just 6 miles west of Glasgow, AMIDS will be home to the £65 million National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland and the £56 million Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre. AMIDS is poised to become an internationally recognised centre for innovation, research and advanced manufacturing.

The Glasgow Riverside Innovation District (GRID)

The Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID)

With Barclays as an anchor tenant, this innovation district in Glasgow’s West End is an international location for clinical and research infrastructure. Phase 1 is expected to be completed by 2023 and will be comprised of two zones: The Interdisciplinary Innovation Zone at the University of Glasgow and the Clinical Innovation Zone on the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus.

In collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, the Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID) covers an area of around 170 hectares east of Glasgow City Centre.

These two locations are smart campuses with the focal point on precision medicine, chronic diseases, the nano and quantum world, and cultural and creative economies.

12

Phase 1 has already completed with over £100 million invested in the University of Strathclyde’s Technology and Innovation Centre, inovo, and Tontine. Together these house 18 major research centres and innovation organisations and over 30 innovation companies and SMEs, including the UK’s only Fraunhofer site.

13

Considered the more friendly and trendy sister of Edinburgh, Glasgow has a growing working population. In 2018, over 633,120 people were recorded residing in Glasgow city according to the NRS, an increase of 1.1% from 2018.

Scotland’s new house building starts and completions have reached the highest level since 2008 at approximately 25,000 new homes per annum. „ Chart 1: Annual all-sector new housebuilding starts and completions have both increased substantially in the latest year, with the number of starts now higher than levels seen in 2008 (years to end September)

A 16% increase totaling 21,805 new home starts.

Glasgow is the most populous city in Scotland, expected to increase by another 2.9% to 2028.

Glasgow City households are expected to increase by 7.4% to 2026 (21,300 more households).

The Glasgow unemployment rate has fallen from its 11.9% high in 2012/2013 to 4.7% -a drop of 7.2% in 6 years.

Supply

Demand

Favourable demographics coupled with robust economic fundamentals have fueled the appetite for Glasgow property.

Glasgow City remains undersupplied so much so that the local council has put in place strict targets for both the private housebuilding sector as well as affordable housing providers. Current targets suggest that Glasgow City requires a total of 15,000 new homes between 2018 and 2023, split evenly between the private and affordable sectors -a mere 1,500 apartments each per annum. However the private sector is falling short of this target. 2019 saw only 725 new homes be completed and the 5-year average of private dwelling completions has only reached 45% of this target ensuring that the housing market will remain undersupplied into the medium term. „ Net housing completions in Glasgow

The exciting population boom has resulted in an increased demand for housing in Glasgow, as the City Council pushes ahead with its commitment to double the core city centre population by 2030.

15

Coupled with a growing favourable demographic, Glasgow’s private rental sector is expected to grow significantly in the future. Currently making up 20% of Glasgow’s stock with 60,000 properties, it’s expected to grow to 70,000 properties by 2028.

Of the 7 recognized cities in Scotland, Glasgow positions itself at the forefront with a robust housing market.

Rental growth has been strong across most Scottish cities with the exception of Aberdeen.
