    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

    Revision note:

    15 November 2024: We have made a small number of revisions to the DCMS Economic Estimates Business Demographics 2023 report and data tables, following the identification of an error. This affects figures for Tourism Industries in 2023 in Tables 2 to 6; 2023 Audio Visual figures in Tables 2, 4, 5 and 6 and the 2022 DCMS total in Table 2.

    About

    These economic estimates are National Statistics providing an estimate of the contribution of DCMS Sectors to the UK economy, measured by the number of businesses.

    Headline findings

    DCMS

    In March 2023 there were 584,920 businesses in the included DCMS sectors, a decrease of 3,245 (0.6%) from March 2022. This is compared to a decrease of 1.5% in UK registered businesses overall.

    In March 2023 the vast majority (87.3%) of businesses in included DCMS sectors fell into the micro (0 to 9) employment band, a slightly lower proportion than for UK registered businesses in general (89.1%).

    In March 2023, 79.5% of included DCMS sector businesses had a turnover of less than £250,000, a higher proportion than for UK businesses in general (68.1%).

    Digital sector

    There were 200,600 businesses in the digital sector, a decrease of 9,090 (4.3%) from March 2022. This is compared to a decrease of 1.5% in UK registered businesses overall.

    The vast majority (91.9%) of businesses in the digital sector fell into the micro (0 to 9) employment band, a slightly higher proportion than for UK registered businesses in general (89.1%).

    In March 2023, 78.3% of digital sector businesses had a turnover of less than £250,000, a higher proportion than for UK businesses in general (68.1%).

    Content

    These statistics cover the contributions of the following DCMS sectors to the UK economy;

    • creative industries
    • cultural sector
    • gambling
    • sport
    • tourism (defined in this release as the tourism industries)

    Users should note that there is overlap between DCMS sector definitions. Estimates are not available for the civil society sector, because they are not identifiable in the data source used for this release.

    These statistics also cover the contributions of the digital sector and telecoms to the UK economy. Users should note telecoms sits wholly within the digital sector.

    The release also includes estimates for the audio visual sector, which is not a DCMS sector or digital sector but is “adjacent” to them and includes some industries also common to DCMS and digital sectors.

    A definition for each sector is available in the published data tables.

    Recent changes to this release

    We have made a number of changes to DCMS and digital sector economic estimates: business demographics in recent years:

    • previous reports have included data on charities registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, Community Interest Companies (CICs) and the now-discontinued Public Service Mutuals which were defined as civil society organisations
    • previous releases have included estimates of the turnover produced by businesses in each employment band and the number of businesses by foreign-owned status, both of which are not available in this release due to the change in data source from the Annual Business Survey (ABS) to the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR)

    Additional information about the change in data source from the ABS to the IDBR in 2022 can be found in the source data change summary note.

    We welcome any views on these changes at evidence@dcms.gov.uk.

    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

    Business intelligence and analytics software publishers' revenue is expected to swell at a compound annual rate of 1.9% over the five years through 2024-25 to reach £884.9 million. Strong growth has been fuelled by rising business software investment, IT and telecommunications adoption, advances in computing technology and the digitalisation of business processes. This has driven the advent of big data, providing new data sets which can interface with business analytics software. Many software products, including customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning systems, have become basic tools for managing large companies. The largest publishers have pursued acquisition activity to take control of cloud companies and data analytics businesses. These industry giants are generally selective with acquisitions, embracing the switch to software as a service and adopting the low-cost cloud model. The industry has demonstrated resilience amid turbulent times, continuing on a growth path in recent years. This is primarily a result of the rapid digitisation spurred by the pandemic. As remote work became the new norm and businesses faced the necessity of managing expansive data sets efficiently, they turned to analytics software. Despite fiscal stresses, companies continued investing in software subscriptions, recognising the indispensable use of applications in a remote work environment. As such, subscriptions and sales of cloud-based software witnessed noticeable growth. Revenue is forecast to climb by 1.9% in 2024-25, with profit also expected to edge up as demand remains strong. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.9% to reach £1 billion. Heightened adoption of industry-specific software among small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) is projected to fuel growth. The ongoing transition towards business intelligence apps hosted on external servers and accessible via secure internet connections – known as software as a service (SaaS) – will open up new possibilities. While workforce complications and restrictions on the freedom of movement present potential challenges, the industry's future still looks strong, characterised by a continued focus on research and development and aggressive acquisition strategies from the biggest publishers.
