The research was carried out by Cambridge Econometrics on behalf of the Department for International Trade (DIT).
This project uses linked firm-level data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to analyse the characteristics of firms engaging in e-commerce exports in the UK.
It follows the recommendations of the previous report on digital trade by DIT and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS): understanding and measuring cross-border digital trade.
It also follows to apply innovative methods to improve the evidence on cross-border digital trade.
The estimates include breakdowns by:
- turnover
- size of business
- industry
- types of service
- export destination
The analysis covers the years 2010 to 2019.
Estimates for all charts and tables presented in the report are available in the 鈥榙ata tables and charts鈥� attachment.
