The GVA of engineering sectors is estimated to have risen to £406.3 billion in 2014, which is equivalent to an estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contribution of £455.6 billion, 27.1% of total UK GDP. Based on the potential employment projections of Engineering and nominal growth in output per employee averaging 3% each year, by 2022 this contribution is expected to increase to £542.2 billion in GVA and £608.1 billion in GDP
