Summary
This bulletin provides estimates of the contribution of Creative Industries to the economy, using the latest data available. The majority of this data is taken from National Statistics sources produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Data sources include thAnnual Business Survey (ABS), the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) and the Labour Force Survey (LFS). Our definition of the Creative Industries is taken from the 2001 Creative Industries Mapping Document. Further information on this can be found in the technical note.
Experimental Statistics
This is the second year that the Creative Industries have been estimated via the Standard Industrial Classifications (SIC07). Previously this statistical release was given the title of an ‘experimental statistic’ as the methodology was in its inaugural year and was still under development. This methodology is now in its second year and the core methodology has not changed (see page 9 for other changes) so the title ‘experimental statistics’ has been removed.
However, the methodology for estimation used here is regularly reviewed and if you would like to contribute to this, please contact us at [email protected].

This set of Creative Industries Estimates represents a snapshot of the latest figures. Because of the modifications made to this releases estimates, the figures should not be directly compared to previous estimates. Re-calculation of previous years’ estimates have been included in the release for time series analysis.
