UK a growing services hub
The share of services in total UK exports is expected to hit parity with goods from 2026.
The rise from 44% this year will mark the tipping point when British exports will essentially become service-led, according to the Barclays Trade Index.
Service exports are predicted to grow in aggregate more rapidly than goods exports.
Barclays say the findings show the importance of the UK as a global services hub.
