The South West of England remains a diverse and economically significant region at the end of 2025, covering Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, with major cities including Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth. It combines strong urban centres with coastal and rural economies, underpinning a broad mix of sectors from advanced industry to tourism.

Key drivers of the regional economy now include cyber and digital technologies, green and renewable energy, aerospace, creative industries and fintech, alongside established strengths in food, agriculture and high‑value manufacturing. Tourism continues to play a major role, supported by the region’s natural landscapes and cultural assets, while the South West is also increasingly recognised as a hub for sustainable technologies and low‑carbon innovation.

Corporate and deal activity across the South West remains active, even though overall volumes have fluctuated with wider market conditions, with notable interest from both strategic buyers and private equity in high‑growth technology, energy and specialist services businesses. This combination of sectoral strengths, export potential and a growing focus on sustainability positions the South West for continued medium‑term growth.
