Creative and digital industries
The creative industries – ranging from advertising to architecture and fashion to film – constitute one of the fastest-growing sectors in the UK
The creative industries contribute 6% of GDP and employ over 2 million people. The sector is forecast to play a bigger role in coming years. If the UK is to achieve a balanced, high-growth economy, it is vital that the key strengths of businesses in the creative sector are nurtured. The CBI is developing policies on a range of issues to show what needs to be done to deliver the conditions under which our creative industries can thrive.
