The UK or United Kingdom is among the central and leading countries in the global entertainment and media industry. This is due to the comprehensive and high-value sector present in the state. It is often considered to be a part of the United Kingdom’s creative industrial cluster. This is a segment that comprises around 300 000 enterprises or 11.8% of the total businesses in the state. This results in the employment of 2 396 000 experts who operate within the entire value chain. This includes the media and entertainment sub-sectors such as games, publishing, performing arts, audiovisual, et cetera. This results in high turnovers for both the M&E sector as well as the creative industry cluster of the United Kingdom. For example, the creative industry cluster has contributed up to 109 000 000 000 GBP in recent years. This equals up to 5.6% of the UK’s economy. Additionally, the entertainment and media market sector of the country is expected to reach a value of around 100 000 000 000 GBP in the upcoming years. Among the significant contributors to the potential growth of the sector is its chief focus on research and development.
