Creative industries
Personal touch
World-beating excellence in design, film, music, advertising and more makes the UK a leading global hub for the creative industries.
Britain punches above its weight in the creative sector. It has the fastest-growing proportion of workers in the industry in Europe*. A total of 9.5% of workers in the UK economy are classed as creative, everyone from designers to artists, marketers to entertainment specialists. As creative jobs are more immune to automation than other sectors, foster a wealth of emerging talent and can help meet the rising demand for a more personalised experience, the industry is forecast to grow strongly.
