The British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) is set to officially unveil the ground-breaking “Lay of the Land” report.
As an in-depth analysis of the landscape industry’s current climate, the report will highlight market trends, challenges and future opportunities, with this landmark report set to become an essential reference point for planning and strategy across the sector.
Insights on the outlook and sentiment for landscaping businesses reveal 60 percent of respondents are prioritising business expansion in the next 12 months, though this is juxtaposed against the backdrop of 29 percent feeling staff recruitment is a challenge, with 55 percent saying staffing costs are “challenging or very challenging”.
Further insights from the report will be divulged on the BALI stand (K61) during Futurescape 2025, and attendees to the show will have the opportunity to speak to the BALI team involved in conducting the survey and producing the report to find out what this means for the industry and the steps they can take to help boost their business in the future.
"We're thrilled to be able to bring this report out to government and industry on the importance of the landscaping sector," said BALI Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Amy Cobbett.
"Landscaping is an exciting industry with plenty of opportunities for growth, as evidenced by the 60 percent of respondents saying that business expansion is a priority for their business. However, government must work with industry to address some areas of concern including employment and climate change which will impact BALI member businesses in the future.
“This report is crucial in highlighting concerns and opportunities for the sector, which is a key step in future-proofing the industry and continuing the innovation which can deliver across a range of government priorities, including skills and training, economic resilience, environmental enhancement, and social growth."
