July 2020 - DCMS Economic Estimates: Number of businesses and Gross Value Added (GVA) by turnover band (2018)

This analysis considers businesses in the DCMS Sectors split by whether they had reported annual turnover above or below £500 million, at one time the threshold for the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS). Please note the DCMS Sectors totals here exclude the Tourism and Civil Society sectors, for which data is not available or has been excluded for ease of comparability.

The analysis looked at number of businesses; and total GVA generated for both turnover bands. In 2018, an estimated 112 DCMS Sector businesses had an annual turnover of £500m or more (0.03% of the total DCMS Sector businesses). These businesses generated 35.3% (£73.9bn) of all GVA by the DCMS Sectors.

These are trends are broadly similar for the wider non-financial UK business economy, where an estimated 823 businesses had an annual turnover of £500m or more (0.03% of the total) and generated 24.3% (£409.9bn) of all GVA.
