UK CAM Technology Growth Strategies

New analysis from Zenzic identifying the four technologies with the greatest growth potential for the UK CAM sector and the interventions needed to capture them

About this report

Published in May 2026, this report maps 16 CAM technologies against maturity and growth potential, identifies critical capability gaps across the UK supply chain, and sets out five formal recommendations for government and industry

Key findings

  • The UK CAM market is projected to grow from £530 million in 2030 to £2.35 billion by 2035 — driven primarily by software

  • Hardware market readiness currently sits at 57%, below the 70% threshold required for a self-sustaining ecosystem — requiring urgent intervention

  • Four technologies offer the strongest growth potential right now: Automated Driving Systems software, Radar, Drive-by-Wire, and Virtual Simulation and Digital Twins

  • A functional CAM ecosystem — not advantage in a single area — is the key to unlocking an estimated £34 billion in real economic impact

This report provides

  • For policymakers: evidence on where the UK CAM supply chain stands and where targeted intervention is needed
  • For technology companies and suppliers: a maturity and growth potential map across 16 technologies to inform investment and positioning decisions
  • For investors: market size projections and capability gap analysis across the CAM value chain to 2035
