With companies still getting to grips with Brexit and the pandemic having a huge impact on businesses globally, it is easy to understand why most UK businesses have struggled in recent times.

However, some sectors have boomed post-pandemic. In this article, Paul Dodgshon, the sales director of Business Partnership, gives his advice for people looking to invest in a business and which sectors are looking to be good investments.

Over the past few years, some businesses have proven themselves as a secure career path despite the world’s events. However, it is important to note that some sectors are certainly outperforming others. So, here are the five sectors that are set to or already are booming post-pandemic:

As the country emerges from the pandemic, the engineering sector can certainly hold its head high. During the pandemic, engineers played pivotal roles in keeping industries up and running behind the scenes. Now they play a vital role in creating a more resilient future through building and maintaining national infrastructures and innovating, designing and creating new products that will profoundly improve quality of life.

Businesses in the engineering sector have played a critical role in allowing the engineering sector to thrive during the pandemic. For example, businesses like Snap-on Tools manufactured and distributed quality tools to the automotive, marine, railroad and engineering technicians ensuring businesses continued to operate.

It should come as no surprise that the e-commerce sector features on this list. E-commerce not only enabled businesses to survive the rampage of the pandemic but has also unlocked vast opportunities and possibilities for entrepreneurs post-pandemic.

The sector has proven that it will not only survive in the coming years but will continue to thrive in the post-pandemic world as customers are now comfortable with shopping and transacting online.

Only 17.8 per cent of sales were made from online purchases two years ago. However, the pandemic has disrupted the status quo. According to Shopify, the global e-commerce market is expected to total £5.55tn in 2022. That figure is estimated to grow over the next few years, showing that borderless e-commerce is becoming a profitable option for online retailers.

Normality may have resumed, but 38 per cent of consumers expressed their desire to continue online shopping and visit physical stores simultaneously. Whether you are looking to buy a web design business or a genuine e-commerce company, these investments promise to be sound opportunities.
