This statistic illustrates turnover of the manufacturing industry in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2019, broken down by enterprise employment size.

In 2022, there were over 859,000 employees in the restaurant and cafe sectors in the United Kingdom. This was an increase of nearly four percent from the previous year.

The Annual Survey of Goods and Services (ASGS) provides annual statistics on the value of turnover from goods and services provided by the UK service economy.

The ASGS was launched by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in summer 2017. It replaced the Services Turnover Survey, which was last conducted in 2015.

The ASGS is an online survey that samples approximately 40,000 businesses in the service sector, covering approximately 63% of the total service industry turnover using data from 51 service industries. The ASGS measures turnover, asking respondents to breakdown their turnover by individual services and goods, including both UK and overseas customers. As businesses are becoming more diverse, there is a need to measure both primary (within their main classification) and secondary (outside their main classification) activity.

The ASGS does not include construction services, public administration and defence, compulsory social security, and banking. The public sector, non-profit making organisations, and government are also excluded from this survey.

At the start of 2020, there were approximately 2.12 million people economically inactive for this reason, with this increasing to almost 2.84 million by the end of 2023, with this declining only slightly to 2.77 million by the end of 2024. It is unclear if there is one overriding factor driving this surge, with possible causes including the prevalence of Long COVID, or the ongoing NHS crisis.
