Gross value added |
Gross value added (GVA) measures the contribution to the economy of each individual producer, industry or sector in the United Kingdom. It is the difference between the value of outputs and the value of intermediate consumption, so mainly comprises employment costs and profits.
The Annual Business Survey (ABS), formerly the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI), carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) includes statistics on gross value added for different industries, classified using the UK Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007). The ABI was extended to include forestry from 2000. Further information on the ABS (and ABI) is available from the ONS website at www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/method-quality/specific/business-and-energy/annual-business-survey/index.html
Table 8.3 shows that, in 2012, GVA in primary wood processing (sawmilling, panels and pulp & paper) was reported to be £1.63 billion and GVA in forestry was £0.31 billion.

Notes:
1. Categories are based on the UK Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007) categories.
Further details on the SIC codes used are provided in the Sources: Employment and businesses page.
2. The 2010 and 2011 figures for panels have been suppressed in the figures released by ONS, so the figures here cover both panels and the manufacture of assembled parquet floors (SIC 16.22) in 2010 and 2011. Panels accounted for 99% of the total of SIC codes 16.21 (panels) and 16.22 in 2008 and in 2009, and 98% in 2012.
3. Excludes other wood-using industries.
