April 2020 - DCMS Economic Estimates: Experimental quarterly GVA for time series analysis

These are experimental estimates of the quarterly GVA in chained volume measures by DCMS sectors and subsectors between 2010 and 2018, which have been produced to help the department estimate the effect of shocks to the economy. Due to substantial revisions to the base data and methodology used to construct the tourism satellite account, estimates for the tourism sector are only available for 2017. For this reason “All DCMS Sectors” excludes tourism. Further, as chained volume measures are not available for Civil Society at present, this sector is also not included.

The methods used to produce these estimates are experimental. The data here are not comparable to those published previously and users should refer to the annual reports for estimates of GVA by businesses in DCMS sectors.

GVA generated by businesses in DCMS sectors (excluding Tourism and Civil Society) increased by 31.0% between the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2018. The UK economy grew by 16.7% over the same period.

All individual DCMS sectors (excluding Tourism and Civil Society) grew faster than the UK average between quarter 4 of 2010 and 2018, apart from the Telecoms sector, which decreased by 10.1%.

April 2020 - Proportion of total DCMS sector turnover generated by businesses in different employment and turnover bands, 2017

This data shows the proportion of the total turnover in DCMS sectors in 2017 that was generated by businesses according to individual businesses turnover, and by the number of employees.

In 2017 a larger share of total turnover was generated by DCMS sector businesses with an annual turnover of less than one million pounds (11.4%) than the UK average (8.6%). In general, individual DCMS sectors tended to have a higher proportion of total turnover generated by businesses with individual turnover of less than one million pounds, with the exception of the Gambling (0.2%), Digital (8.2%) and Telecoms (2.0%, wholly within Digital) sectors.

DCMS sectors tended to have a higher proportion of total turnover generated by large (250 employees or more) businesses (57.8%) than the UK average (51.4%). The exceptions were the Creative Industries (41.7%) and the Cultural sector (42.4%). Of all DCMS sectors, the Gambling sector had the highest proportion of total turnover generated by large businesses (97.5%).
