    Brief

    This is an award notice for a market analysis research project commissioned through the GCA RM6126 Research & Insights DPS. The selected supplier will conduct an independent analysis of the UK connected products market, with focus on products that may be subject to future cyber security regulations. The work will create a taxonomy categorizing in-scope products, develop a comprehensive dataset of organizations operating in this space, and analyze manufacturers, developers, importers, distributors and retailers. The research will examine market structure, competition levels, international trade patterns, and product compliance likelihood with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). This study addresses critical evidence gaps for connected hardware, operational technology, and enterprise devices to support UK policy development, impact assessments, and future legislation on connected product cyber security. The findings will provide baseline data to inform regulatory design and policy interventions.
