Data for 2013

Creative Services Exports, 2013

2013, as UNCTAD’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

Creative services exports are what a country earns abroad from services UNCTAD counts as creative — software and computer services, research and development, licences to use software, films and music, advertising, architecture and audiovisual work — as a share of all its services exports. Despite the name, software and R&D make up most of it, not the arts.

Creative Services Exports, 2013 covers 136 countries on 2 measures. Ireland is highest, at 41.2299; Macau is lowest, at 0.0039. The middle country reads 2.6940. Against 2012, 133 values changed (85 up, 48 down), 3 countries joined, 4 left.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2025 release

    Every year in this series comes from UNCTAD’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2013.

  • 134 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
