Romania’s export opportunity in the UK is bigger than current trade levels suggest. Our estimates indicate that around 2,175 Romanian companies could add GBP 1.5–2.0 billion in annual trade, given the right market readiness, positioning and route to market.
For decision-makers, the real question is how much of that capacity can be converted into commercially viable UK trade over the next few years.

We finalised a report in February this year analysing Romania’s export potential in the United Kingdom. The findings show that the UK imports approximately £7.2bn per year from Romania. Yet significant opportunities in several high-value sectors remain untapped, largely due to limited market integration, insufficient local presence, and post-Brexit regulatory complexity.

Our analysis identifies a realistic additional export opportunity of £1.5–2bn annually, concentrated in five sectors:

• Automotive components: £400–600m
• Industrial machinery and equipment: £350–500m
• Electrical & electronic equipment: £400–500m
• FMCG and food processing: £200–300m
• IT and digital services: £300–400m

The UK economy remains structurally dependent on imports across manufacturing, electrification, digital infrastructure and outsourced services. Demand is stable and, in several segments, expanding.

Romanian companies with operational maturity and regulatory readiness can capture a meaningful share. The variable is ex*****on.
