Scottish Annual Business Statistics 2019

Data relating to the Production (including Manufacturing), Construction and Service Sectors in Scotland.


Scottish Annual Business Statistics (SABS) provides data mainly on the production (including manufacturing), construction and service sectors in Scotland. The Annual Business Survey, from which the statistics are largely derived, covers approximately two thirds of the economy. The main sectors not covered are the financial sector, parts of agriculture and the public sector. These statistics are therefore best suited to the analysis of individual industries rather than the economy as a whole.

The tables in this publication provide 2008 to 2019 data (including revised 2018 data) and include information on businesses' employment, turnover, purchases, approximate gross value added and labour costs. Data are classified according to industry group, geographical area and ownership. All figures are at current prices unless otherwise stated.
