The European Cultural
and Creative Industries Alliance
(ECCIA) is composed of the five
national European luxury goods
and creative industries organizations: -
Collectively the ECCIA and the national member organisations represent the interests of about 400 European high-end & creative businesses and cultural institutions.
Europe dominates the global luxury market.
Collectively, European brands account for over 70%
of the global luxury goods market.
The output of the sector in 2010 is estimated to be over
€440 billion, approximately 3% of European GDP.
The sector employs approximately 1 million workers directly,
and at least a further 500,000 workers indirectly.
Total exports for the sector are approximately €260 billion
in 2010, representing over 10% of all exports from Europe.
The sector contributes over €110 billion to the exchequer.
The sector has grown faster than the European economy
over the last decade, and has markedly outperformed
the European economy since the onset of the current economic crisis.
The sector has recorded double digit growth in the last two years.
Medium term forecasts suggest the sector will continue to grow
at between 7% and 9% per year.
The sector will contribute between €790 and €930 billion
to the European economy in 2020, and will employ between
1.8 and 2.2 million people directly.
The work of ECCIA falls into
three main areas of activity
- Protection of Intellectual
Property Rights and Governance
of the Internet - Market Access & Tourism
- Highlighting the role of the
Cultural and Creative Industries
as a key driver of Europe
overall economic health,
competitiveness, innovation and employment.
