UK private sector grew in Feb 2026, driven by rising orders and confidence, but job losses continued due to cost pressures and automation.
UK private sector activity accelerated in February 2026, with the S&P Global UK Composite PMI rising to 53.9—the highest since April 2024—indicating expansion in both manufacturing and services.
Growth was driven by stronger new orders, particularly in exports, and improved business confidence, though employment continued to decline for the 17th consecutive month, mainly in services due to cost pressures, weak demand, and hiring freezes.
Despite rising output and demand, companies are focusing on productivity through automation rather than hiring, highlighting persistent labor market challenges.
