On Tuesday we launched our third annual UK Advertising Exports Report, which shows that international trade in the UK advertising and market research services grew 7% year-on-year to reach a new record level of £11bn in 2019.
The report also revealed that the UK once again recorded a net surplus in payments, this time with a value of around £3.8bn – a trend that has persisted since 2013. Additionally, the US remains the largest single country importer – importing £1.1bn worth of UK advertising and market research services.
Graham Stuart MP, Minister for Exports, commented: “It is clear the industry is reorienting to the fastest growing international markets which, with government support, places the sector in the best possible position for the future.”
