The given bar chart illustrates two different categories based on the proportion of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the UK between 1992 and 2000.
Overall, it is evident that both industries surveyed showed a steady growth in most years, with the IT industry rising more sharply than the service sector.
In 1992, the IT sector contributed approximately 6% of GDP, which was higher 2% than that of the service industry. Four years later, the former climbed quickly but then decreased down to below 8% , compared to the figure for service industry reaching at slightly above 7%, narrowing the distance between these components generated by GDP in the UK
From 1998 onwards, however, the gap between the two sectors widened. Particularly, IT sector wide the distance with the service one, with increasing rapidly up to exactly 12% while the latter rose more moderately to 8%. The IT discipline peaked at 15%, which was double than its 1992 figure. Meanwhile, the steady upward trend can be seen in the service industry, reflecting a less dramatic increase of 8 percentage points over the same period.
