The yearly report analyses the music industry’s contribution to the British economy in terms of export, employment and economic value, and supports the trade body’s lobbying work with the government.
Musicians, songwriters and composers can contribute by completing a short online questionnaire. Visit http://www.ukmusic.org/research/economic-survey-2015 for more.
The 2015 study will again use data held by BPI, MPA, PPL and PRS for Music, alongside survey responses from members of the music industry.
UK Music said: ‘The government is not able to measure music’s economic contribution properly. Those in the music industry must work together to do so, so we have the most accurate picture to present.’
Songwriters, composers and musicians should answer the survey relevant to them, while producers and managers each have a separate questionnaire to complete.
Last year’s Measuring Music report found that music was worth £3.8bn to the British economy, up nine percent on 2012’s figures.
Further findings revealed that the music industry supports more than 111,000 full time jobs while music exports contribute £2.2bn to the economy.
