Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much the creative industries have added to the UK economy in each of the last six years.
The table below shows the estimated contribution of the Creative Industries to the UK economy (GVA) over the past six years.
Gross value added (GVA) for Creative Industries
Unit: £m / %
Years: 2010 - 2015
Coverage: UK
2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | |
Number | 65,188 | 69,398 | 73,033 | 77,885 | 81,625 | 87,350 |
Percentage of UK GVA | 4.6 | 4.8 | 4.9 | 5.0 | 5.0 | 5.3 |
Notes:
1. Data are in current prices (i.e. have not been adjusted for inflation).
2. 2015 GVA is based on the output measure of GVA to allow consistency with the sector measures for 2015. This is aligned to average GVA up to and including 2014 (last Supply Use balanced year) but then uses growth in the output measure as a proxy for GVA beyond that. The 2015 figure therefore differs from ABML. 2010 – 2014 GVA estimates use balanced GVA at current prices (ABML).
