    Description

    In the period between 1912 and 1938 (years shortly before each respective world war), there was a considerable restructuring of the British economy. The production of cotton goods, of which Britain was the world's largest exporter in the 19th century, dropped by half in some industry sectors. Raw materials, such as pig iron and coal, saw their output drop by 10 percent each, as the British economy concentrated on producing more complex, manufactured goods. The production of cars doubled in this period, while the output of aircraft quadrupled. These industries would become increasingly important during the Second World War, as would the manufacturing of artificial fibers (i.e., synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polyester), which the military used for tents, ropes, and parachutes.

    ​This publication has been updated on 20 June 2016 and 4 July 2016 to correct data in the statistical release Creative Industries: Focus on Employment published on 9 June 2016.

    Amendments on 20 June: The percentage of BAME within the UK Economy was incorrectly reported on page 21. This has now been corrected in the PDF document to 11.3 per cent. There are no changes to any other figures in this report or other documents on this page.

    Amendments on 4 July: The 2011 total in Table 1 and Table 2 was incorrectly reported and should be 1,562,000. This has been corrected in the accompanying tables. The chart in Figure 8 was showing data for the Creative Economy rather than the Creative Industries. This has now been corrected.

    Description

    In 2024, agriculture contributed around 0.56 percent to the United Kingdom’s GDP, 16.74 percent came from the manufacturing industry, and 72.79 percent from the services sector. The UK is not a farmer’s marketThe vast majority of the UK’s GDP is generated by the services sector, and tourism in particular keeps the economy going. In 2017, almost 214 billion British Pounds were contributed to the GDP through travel and tourism – about 277 billion U.S. dollars – and the forecasts see an upwards trend. For comparison, only an estimated 10.3 billion GBP were generated by the agriculture sector in the same year. But is it a tourist’s destination still? Though forecasts are not in yet, it is unclear whether travel and tourism can keep the UK’s economy afloat in the future, especially after Brexit and all its consequences. Higher travel costs, having to wait for visas, and overall more complicated travel arrangements are just some of the concerns tourists have when considering vacationing in the UK after Brexit. Consequences of the referendum are already observable in the domestic travel industry: In 2017, about 37 percent of British travelers said Brexit caused them to cut their holidays short by a few days, and about 14 percent said they did not leave the UK for their holidays because of it.

    Description

    Headline findings

    Reported DCMS Sector GVA is estimated to have fallen by 0.4% from Quarter 2 (April to June) to Quarter 3 2022 (July to September) in real terms. By comparison, the whole UK economy fell by 0.2% from Quarter 2 to Quarter 3 2022.

    GVA of reported DCMS Sectors in September 2022 was 6% above February 2020 levels, which was the most recent month not significantly affected by the pandemic. By comparison, GVA for the whole UK economy was 0.2% lower than in February 2020.

    About this release

    Monthly estimates

    These Economic Estimates are Official Statistics used to provide an estimate of the economic contribution of DCMS Sectors in terms of gross value added (GVA), for the period January 2019 to September 2022. Provisional monthly GVA in 2019 and 2020 was first published in March 2021 as an ad hoc statistical release. This current release contains new figures for July to September 2022 and revised estimates for previous months, in line with the scheduled revisions that were made to the underlying ONS datasets in October 2022.

    Estimates are in chained volume measures (i.e. have been adjusted for inflation), at 2019 prices, and are seasonally adjusted. These latest monthly estimates should only be used to illustrate general trends, not used as definitive figures.

    You can use these estimates to:

    • Look at relative indicative changes in GVA over time for DCMS sectors and subsectors

    You should not use these estimates to:

    • Quantify GVA for a specific month
    • Measure absolute change in GVA over time
    • Determine findings for DCMS sectors that are defined using more detailed industrial classes (due to the data sources only being available at broader industry levels)

    “Summed monthly” Annual GVA

    Estimates of annual GVA by DCMS Sectors, based on the monthly series, are included in this release for 2019 to 2021. These are calculated by summing the monthly estimates for the calendar year and were first published for 2019 and 2020 in DCMS Sector National Economic Estimates: 2011 - 2020.

    Since August 2022, we have been publishing these estimates as part of the regular published series of GVA data, with data being revised in line with revisions to the underlying ONS datasets, as with the monthly GVA estimates. These estimates have been published, updating what was first published last year, in order to meet growing demand for annual figures for GVA beyond the 2019 estimates in our National Statistics GVA publication. The National Statistics GVA publication estimates remain the most robust for our sectors, however estimates for years after 2019 have been delayed owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

    Consequently, these “summed monthly” annual estimate figures for GVA can be used but should not be seen as definitive.

    Data sources

    The findings are calculated based on published ONS data sources including the Index of Services and Index of Production.

    These data sources provide an estimate of the monthly change in GVA for all UK industries. However, the data is only available for broader industry groups, whereas DCMS sectors are defined at a more detailed industrial level. For example, GVA for ‘Cultural education’ is estimated based on the trend for all education. Sectors such as ‘Cultural education’ may have been affected differently by COVID-19 compared to education in general. These estimates are also based on the composition of the economy in 2019. Overall, this means the accuracy of monthly GVA for DCMS sectors is likely to be lower for months in 2020 and 2021.

    The technical guidance contains further information about data sources, methodology, and the validation and accuracy of these estimates.

    Revisions

    Figures are provisional and subject to revision on a monthly basis when the ONS Index of Services and Index of Production are updated. Figures for the latest month will be highly uncertain.

    An example of the impact of these revisions is highlighted in the following example; for the revisions applied in February 2022 the average change to DCMS sector monthly GVA was 0.6%, but there were larger differences for some sectors, in some months e.g. the value of the Sport sector in May 2021 was revised from £1.

    Description

    During the last two decades research on industrial districts, flexible specialisation, and high-tech regions has highlighted the importance of the local business environment to successful industrial development. Nineteenth century Britain developed a series of specialised industrial districts, providing pools of skilled labour, highly developed ancillary trades and services, networks of cooperative subcontracting relationships, and (in some cases) rented factory accommodation including power and utilities. However, the 'new' industries of the 'second industrial revolution', tended to locate outside such districts, in new 'green field' industrial areas. These often involved a new, more formally constituted, form of industrial agglomeration - the industrial or 'trading' estate. Closely associated with the rise of electric power and the internal combustion engine, and highly concentrated in the South East, industrial estates rapidly expanded to accommodate plants employing around 285,000 people by 1939, including some of Britain's best known companies such as Ford, HMV, Hoover, Lever Brothers, Mars, and Metropolitan Vickers. Despite considerable contemporary interest in their development, there has been little academic analysis of the general growth of pre-1939 industrial estates. This may be due, at least in part, to the paucity of quantitative and other evidence regarding their early development.

    The main aims and objectives of the research project from which this dataset arose were:
    (1) To asses the contribution of industrial estates to the growth and location of new manufacturing enterprises in interwar Britain;
    (2) To examine the ways in which location of interwar industrial estates boosted firm growth;
    (3) To explore the contribution of industrial estates to fostering locational externalities for the firms which located on them;
    (4) To examine the regional impact of industrial estate development.

    United Kingdom UK: GDP: % of GDP: Gross Value Added: Industry data was reported at 18.574 % in 2017. This records an increase from the previous number of 17.985 % for 2016. United Kingdom UK: GDP: % of GDP: Gross Value Added: Industry data is updated yearly, averaging 20.001 % from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2017, with 28 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 27.892 % in 1990 and a record low of 17.830 % in 2014. United Kingdom UK: GDP: % of GDP: Gross Value Added: Industry data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United Kingdom – Table UK.World Bank.WDI: Gross Domestic Product: Share of GDP. Industry corresponds to ISIC divisions 10-45 and includes manufacturing (ISIC divisions 15-37). It comprises value added in mining, manufacturing (also reported as a separate subgroup), construction, electricity, water, and gas. Value added is the net output of a sector after adding up all outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or depletion and degradation of natural resources. The origin of value added is determined by the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), revision 3 or 4.; ; World Bank national accounts data, and OECD National Accounts data files.; Weighted average; Note: Data for OECD countries are based on ISIC, revision 4.

    Description

    Census 2021 industry data for people aged 16 years and older and in employment, to a detailed level (Standard Industrial Classification Group Title - 2007), is part of The occupations and industries most dependent on older and younger workers: March 2021, a release of results from the 2021 Census for England and Wales. Figures may differ slightly in future releases because of the impact of removing rounding and applying further statistical processes.

    Some shorthand may be used in this workbook. Individual estimates suppressed with "[c]" relate to statistics based on a small number of respondents (< 10). Such values have been suppressed on quality grounds and to maintain confidentiality.

    Armed forces personnel and defence employees are included in the census and recorded as usually resident using the standard definitions. The instructions given to personnel on how to respond to the census mean that this group cannot be reliably identified in census data on industry and occupation. Information on the size and characteristics of the UK armed forces population is produced by the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

    Part-time workers are defined as those that worked 30 hours or fewer a week. Full-time workers are defined as those that worked 31 hours or more a week.

Description

In the period between 1912 and 1938 (years shortly before each respective world war), there was a considerable restructuring of the British economy. The production of cotton goods, of which Britain was the world's largest exporter in the 19th century, dropped by half in some industry sectors. Raw materials, such as pig iron and coal, saw their output drop by 10 percent each, as the British economy concentrated on producing more complex, manufactured goods. The production of cars doubled in this period, while the output of aircraft quadrupled. These industries would become increasingly important during the Second World War, as would the manufacturing of artificial fibers (i.e., synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polyester), which the military used for tents, ropes, and parachutes.
