November 2020 - DCMS Business Impacts of Coronavirus Survey, round 2: business resilience in the arts and music subsectors

This analysis covers business resilience by business size, and business trading status by business size, for the performing arts and music industries, based on the DCMS Coronavirus Business Survey results (Round 2). This was a voluntary business survey, which captured organisations’ responses on how their turnover, costs, workforce and resilience were affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The results presented are based on 3,870 completed responses collected between 17 August and 8 September 2020.

As one purpose of the survey was to highlight the characteristics of organisations in DCMS sectors whose viability was under threat in order to shape further government support, timeliness was essential, and there are some limitations arising from the need for this timely information: - Estimates from the DCMS Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact Business Survey are unweighted (i.e., each business was assigned the same weight regardless of turnover, size or industry) and should be treated with caution when used to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 across the UK economy. - Survey responses through DCMS stakeholder comms are likely to contain an element of self-selection bias. - Due to time constraints, we are yet to undertake any statistical significance testing or provided confidence intervals”
