About
DCMS estimates of GVA provide a measure of the contribution made by the DCMS sectors to the UK economy. They provide estimates of GVA by sectors within DCMS’s remit. This enables assessment of the contribution of DCMS sectors to the UK economy.
All estimates on this page represent the latest version according to updates in methodology.
Included estimates:
DCMS releases three separate series providing estimates of:
- annual GVA, based on data from ONS including balanced GVA estimates from the National Accounts. This is our most robust method of estimating GVA and has been badged as national statistics
- monthly GVA (and the associated annual estimates based on monthly GVA), based on data from ONS including monthly GDP indexes. This leading indicator of GVA is less robust than our annual series, but more timely and is an experimental official statistic
- regional GVA, based on data from ONS and the DCMS annual GVA publication. This release provides annual estimates of GVA by the UK regions and devolved administrations
For information on how these estimates are produced please see the relevant technical report for each release.
