Exports of creative goods and creative services have been separated from each other in recent years. This trend has resulted from a substantial increase in software and research-and-development services exports and from the digitalization of some creative products.
According to the Creative Economy Outlook report published in 2024 by UNCTAD, creative services exports, at 1.4 trillion dollars, were 2 times greater than creative goods exports (713 billion dollars). On this basis, in recent years we have seen special attention by leading countries in the creative industries to creative services.
