Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

What is the input-output table

This dataset contains an industry‑by‑industry input‑output table showing the flows of goods and services between Welsh industries, final users, the rest of the UK and the rest of the world.

The table describes what each industry buys from other industries in Wales, how much is imported to produce output, and how that output is ultimately used. It also shows the value added by each industry in Wales

What is the table used for

The table can be used for a wide range of economic analysis, including understanding how the activities of one industry can affect other industries via supply chain and household-income multipliers.

How is the table structured

Industries appear both across the top of the table and down the left side.

The columns show what each industry needs to produce its output, including the goods and services it buys from other industries as well as payments to workers and government (via taxes).

The rows show how each industry’s output is used, either by other industries as inputs or by final users (such as households and government), as capital investment, or exported.

For each industry, the total amount of products used is equal to the total amount supplied once imports are included.

All figures are expressed in basic prices (which exclude taxes but include subsidies on products), on a calendar year basis, and in millions of pounds.

Data collection or calculation

What data sources are used

The input‑output table is an algebraic transformation of the supply and use tables.

The Welsh Government supply and use tables are compiled using a wide range of surveys, administrative datasets and other sources.

Further detail on data sources and methods is available in the accompanying methodology report.

How these tables compare with earlier releases

This dataset should not be compared with the 2019 release, as the methods, data sources and presentation have been substantially revised.

Statistical quality

What you need to know about data quality

The supply, use and input-output tables are designated as Official Statistics in Development (Office for Statistics Regulation).

What are the key quality limitations

  • Some parts of the tables use UK-level patterns where Wales-specific data are not currently available, including production functions for non-manufacturing industries.
  • Some estimates are more uncertain than others, particularly imports, which rely on simplifying assumptions about supply chains.
  • Some business surveys do not cover parts of the Welsh economy, so we use apportionment methods and additional data sources where needed.

As a result, the tables are best used for analysing the economy and sectors as a whole rather than individual transactions.

Rounding applied

All values are rounded to 4 decimal places. As a result, totals and subtotals may not sum exactly.

Users requiring greater precision are advised to download the data tables in OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) format from the Welsh Government website.
