Whilst the pound remains low against the euro, UK industry is in a prime position to capitalise on export sales.
Since the financial crisis began the sterling has devalued by over 30%. Although this has raised the prices of imported goods sold in the UK, the export market is poised to benefit. By exporting to Europe, UK manufacturers will profit from the current exchange rate which today stands at 1.16 Euro to the Pound.
This rate is heavily down from the beginnings of 2007 when the pound was equal to 1.53 Euro. Whereas in January 2007 a £100,000 GBP sales order would cost a European buyer €153,000 the same order can be placed today at €116,000, almost a third cheaper. British manufacturers therefore have the opportunity to both sell at lower costs and increase the profitability on their overseas orders.
With France, Germany, Japan and Hong Kong emerging from the global recession, experts are claiming that a recent surge in overseas trade has contributed to their economic growth. An increase of export sales in the UK could similarly rejuvenate the UK’s economy bringing an end to the recession. Now is therefore the prime time for UK companies to expand into export sales.
Exporting has always had the added potential of boosting turnover and lessening your dependence on the UK market. However, with language barriers and cultural obstacles the route to entry to the export market has always been difficult.
