The film and video distribution has the highest Gross Value Added (GVA) per head of the service industries at nearly £200,000.  Television and radio also has a GVA per head of £66,900 which is twice the economy average (£31,300).  The GVA for film and video production is similar at £55,400.

The audio visual industries as a whole have a relatively high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (2.4%).  The largest, fastest growing and most economically significant industry, interactive media, is not currently covered within the SIC system, and therefore, limited data are available.
