This article provides detailed information and statistics produced by the ONS covering the UK market and non-market sectors based on the Input-Output Annual Supply and Use Tables.
The availability of the statistics provide users an insight into the relative importance of these sectors in the UK economy.
Key users like the BoE and HM Treasury are interested in separating market sector activity estimates from the total UK economy to assess the business cycle, monitor the output gap, and compare productivity between sectors as well as across other countries. Market sector estimates also provide an important indicator of demand pressures, reflecting changes in the quantity of goods and services sold in the market sector of the economy.
The estimates in this article are consistent with those published in the 2006 Blue Book, 2006 Pink Book and 2006 Input-Output Analyses publications.
