In 2014 the Life Science industry generated a trade deficit of £5.0bn for the UK. Life Sciences goods that can be identified through standard industry classifications consists of pharmaceuticals, irradiation, electro-medical and electrotherapeutic equipment and medical and dental supplies. Recent changes to international legislation on the compilation of the Balance of Payments have classed the trade in illegal drugs as pharmaceuticals. This change accounted for £4.3bn of the imports of pharmaceuticals in 2014. Comparable figures for Scotland alone are not available.
