Economic value of sport in England

Sport England (2013). Economic value of sport in England. London: Sport England.

Sport benefits individuals and society. It is an important part of the national economy, contributing significantly in terms of spending, economic activity (measured using Gross Value Added) and employment. For those who participate there are health and well-being (or happiness) impacts. The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games showcased the wide-ranging positive effects that watching sport can bring. However, few studies in the past have sought to assess the full economic benefits of sport. This work presents the first comprehensive assessment of the economic impact (in relation to the real world economy) and economic value (in terms of welfare or utility) of sport in England. It shows that sport has very substantial benefits. This research was undertaken by AMION Consulting.
