[Collapse]AreaThe areas are the Welsh NUTS (Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics, the EU hierarchical geographic breakdown) 1 to 3 areas. NUTS1 for Wales is all of Wales whilst NUTS3 represents single / groups of local authorities. NUTS2 is a hierarchical aggregation of NUTS3 areas, splitting Wales into 2 areas, namely West Wales and the Valleys (the area of Wales with EU Objective 1 status) and East Wales. [Filter]

General description

Estimates of workplace based GVA allocate income to the region in which the economic activity takes place. Regional GVA for Wales is allocated to ITL2 and ITL3 areas within Wales, by industry, using workplace-based data.

Data collection and calculation

Two different measures are available for each area, namely the GVA amounts in £ million and the percentage of 'all industries GVA' for each industry.
Regional GVA is calculated at current basic prices using the balanced approach. In 2017, the ONS used both the Income and the Production approach, to produce a single estimate of GVA known as the balanced (GVA (B)) approach. More details on how this has been developed and calculated can be found in their consultation response, which Knowledge and Analytical Services contributed to.

Data reference periods

Rounding applied

Figures are rounded and so there may be some apparent slight discrepancies between the sum of constituent items and the totals as shown.

Revisions information

In 2025, ONS updated the International Territorial Levels (ITL) geography framework. This has led to changes to the sub-region classifications for Wales at the ITL2 and ITL3 levels.

With so many geography changes, the industry groupings have also been updated to avoid disclosure of confidential information.

As such, we are unable to indicate which data have been revised from the 2024 update, revision notes will be reinstated with the 2026 publication.

Statistical quality

Under the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA95), the term Gross Value Added (GVA) is used to denote estimates that were previously known as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at basic prices. Under ESA95 the term GDP denotes GVA plus taxes (less subsidies) on products i.e. at market prices. Regional Accounts publish figures at basic prices so have adopted the term GVA rather than GDP.

Sub-regional GVA is measured in current prices, which means that increases over time reflect inflation as well as real growth. Trends in total GVA cannot be analysed easily without deflating the data. For analysing trends in GVA, we would advise using the chained volume measures published by ONS: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossvalueaddedgva/datasets/nominalandrealregionalgrossvalueaddedbalancedbyindustry

Estimates of sub-regional GVA at basic prices presented here are consistent with the 2024 edition of UK National Accounts - The Blue Book.
