<p>DCMS have published figures setting out the growth of the creative industries in
relation to the rest of the economy for the period 2010 - 2017. These are available
on the government website (2017 - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/dcms-sectors-economic-estimates-2017-gva"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/dcms-sectors-economic-estimates-2017-gva</a>).</p><p>In
2017 the gross value added (GVA) of the creative industries was £101.5 billion, up
from £66.3 billion in 2010. This represents a 53.1% increase, compared to the 29.7%
increase in the rest of the economy over the same period. When viewed as a percentage
of the UK’s entire GVA, the creative industries now make up 5.5% of the UK’s total
GVA, a 53.1% increase since 2010.</p><p>DCMS measure the design sector under the broader
category of "design and designer fashion". In 2017 these sectors contributed
£3.95 billion to the economy, up from £1.97 billion in 2010. This represents a 100.6%
increase and in 2017 these sectors contributed 0.2% of the UK’s GVA.</p>
