據美國鉆井網站2022年3月3日報道，英國的水下產業目前價值超過106億美元，占全球市場份額的三分之一。英國水下產業到2035年前有增加到600億美元的潛力，屆時將為英國創造大約18萬個新工作崗位，并為英國帶來大約267億美元或更多的出口收入。  

這是根據全球水下中心(GUH)的最新說法，GUH是一個新的戰略、情報主導組織，在最近舉行的海底博覽會上正式成立，GUH表示，它的成立是為了確保全球水下產業實現這個增長。  

GUH將嘗試利用全球能源轉型和藍色經濟水下部分的巨大機遇，預計到2035年前將創造1866億美元的收入。 

GUH最近對全球水下產業的一次調查的結果顯示，近90%的海底公司預計在未來12個月內將招聘新員工，從長期來看，全球海底公司未來三年將新增8000個新工作崗位。

GUH首席執行官尼爾·戈登說：“藍色經濟的指數級增長為英國舉世聞名的水下產業的發展提供了前所未有的機遇?！?/p>

UK Underwater Industry Could Create 180,000 Jobs By 2035

The UK’s underwater industry, currently valued at over $10.6 billion with a third of the global market share, has the potential to grow to $60 billion by 2035, creating an estimated 180,000 new jobs and around $26.7 billion or more in exports for the UK.

That's according to the Global Underwater Hub (GUH), a new strategic, intelligence-led organization, officially launched at the recent Subsea Expo conference, which said it has been established to ensure the industry achieves this growth.

GUH will attempt to capitalize on the scale of opportunities globally in the energy transition and the underwater segment of the Blue Economy estimated to be worth $186.6 billion by 2035.

A recent survey of the sector by the GUH revealed that almost 90 percent of subsea companies expect to recruit in the next 12 months, with a longer-term outlook already suggesting an additional 8,000 jobs over the next three years.

“The exponential growth of the blue economy presents an unprecedented scale of opportunity on which the UK’s world-renowned underwater industry can capitalize,” Neil Gordon, Chief Executive of the GUH said.
