Manufacturing Investment Down Almost 30% On Last Year
The ONS have released revised estimates of business investment levels for Q1 2010. The new estimates put investment at £29,136m, an increase of 7.8% from the previous quarter and 7.7% lower than Q1 2009. Manufacturing's share has fallen by 0.2% to £2,364m on the previous quarter and by 29.6% since Q1 2009.
The revised estimate of investment in services within private sector non-manufacturing suggests a rise of 11.1% to £20,734m, construction increased by 36.5% to £602m, while other production has fallen by 2.4% to £4,471m since the previous quarter. Non-manufacturing investment by public sector corporations increased by 0.3% on the last quarter to £966m but has fallen by 15.3% since Q1 2009.
Estimates for private sector investment in computer software and hardware collected by the ONS separately from other capital investment suggest that total computer software investment by businesses for Q1 2010 was £1,593m and hardware £1,647m. Investment in software was down in all categories except 'other services' which went from £1,028m in Q4 2009 to £1,093m in Q1 2010 a big enough increase to increase the total level of investment in software. In hardware, manufacturing was the only category to decrease its investment. These figures suggest that private sector investment in computer software and hardware was about 12% of total business investment and evenly distributed between software and hardware. In manufacturing it was around 9.5% total investment and 12.75% of total investment in services.

The ONS figures only respresent the private sector. Total investment in computer software in Q4 2009 is estimated to have been £1.5bn, compared with £1.4bn in the last quarter and £1.7bn last year. The total for computer hardware acquisitions less disposals at current prices is estimated to have been £1.4bn, compared with £1.38bn last quarter and £1.79bn last year. These estimates suggest that investments in computer software and hardware amounts to approximately 10% of all private sector business investment (5% software, 4.75% hardware). In manufacturing investment in computer hardware and software is about 9.5% of total investment and in services it amounts to about 11.75%.
