Only one manufacturing sector recorded revenue growth across the UK, Australia and New Zealand in the latest Manufacturing Health Index: personal care.

Revenue increased 32% in the UK, 85% in Australia and 46% in New Zealand year on year. In a dataset containing several sharp contractions, that consistency stands out.

What is driving personal care’s resilience? Are consumers protecting spending on everyday personal-care products? Are smaller luxuries holding their appeal when larger purchases feel harder to justify? The data cannot answer that, so we’d like to hear your theories in the comments.

What it does show is that manufacturers are supporting this growth with very different inventory strategies.

UK personal care manufacturers are generating more revenue while carrying 42% less stock than a year ago. In Australia, where personal care recorded the strongest revenue growth of any sector across the three markets, stock increased 25%. New Zealand manufacturers increased stock by 58% alongside 46% revenue growth.

The common challenge is profitability. Gross margins fell across all three markets: 22% in the UK, 4% in Australia and 5% in New Zealand.

Personal care manufacturers are growing, but higher revenue is not automatically producing stronger margins. Managing that growth means balancing product availability with the cost and cash-flow implications of carrying more inventory.

What do you think is behind personal care’s resilience-and can the sector sustain it profitably?

Walk into any conversation about construction right now and you'll hear two things simultaneously: the market is terrible, and it's about to turn. In the April–June quarter, building and construction manufacturers across all three markets we track were sitting on dramatically less stock than a year ago; -70% in the UK, -72% in New Zealand, 35% in Australia. Revenue followed: down 48%, 41% and 44% respectively.

Research into the pipeline data tells a more complicated story. UK construction new orders fell 11.8% in the quarter even as overall output edged higher than Q1 (ons.gov.uk). Australian dwelling approvals rose 7.2% in June, reaching their highest annual total since 2020-21 (abs.gov.au). New Zealand building activity rose 4.8% in the quarter, the first positive annual comparison in two and a half years (stats.govt.nz).

But approvals are permissions, not orders. A dwelling approval does not put materials on a truck. The gap between a consent being granted and a manufacturer receiving a purchase order can be six months, sometimes longer. And in the meantime, purchase orders in the sector are still falling - down 31% year on year in the UK, 50% in Australia, 47% in New Zealand. The pipeline is showing early signs of life. The factory floor has not felt it yet.
That gap is where the real decision lives. Manufacturers who cut inventory too aggressively now risk being unable to supply when demand does return - and in construction, when it returns, it tends to return quickly. Those who hold on too long tie up cash through an extended downturn with no guarantee of timing.

Which is the bigger risk right now: holding too much stock through a weak market, or cutting too deeply before demand returns?

We're heading to OpsFest 26 on 8th October - and we can't wait.

As headline partner, we get a front row seat to some of the best ops and supply chain conversations happening in UK challenger brands right now. The brands that come together at this event know first-hand what poor inventory visibility costs them - and that's exactly the conversation we love being part of.

Daniel Cohen, Josh Lunn-Scott and Josie Payne will be there representing the Unleashed team. If you're going, come and find them - they'd love to chat.

See you there đź‘‹

Overall manufacturing revenue fell 6% in the UK, 33% in Australia and 9% in New Zealand year on year.

Those figures suggest a broadly difficult market, but they don’t reflect every industries experience.

Personal care revenue grew 32% in the UK, 85% in Australia and 46% in New Zealand. Construction revenue, meanwhile, fell by more than 40% in all three markets.

A national average can show which way the wider market is moving. It can’t tell manufacturers whether their sector is following it, or what other businesses are doing with their margins, inventory and purchasing.

That’s why we built the Manufacturing Health Index.

Using anonymised transaction data from 1,578 SME manufacturers across 12 sectors, it provides a more useful benchmark for understanding performance across the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and within each individual sector.

Does the national picture match what you’re seeing in your industry, or is your market moving differently?
