The bar charts illustrate the proportion of domestic product output from the IT and the Service sectors in the United Kingdom between 1992 and 2000. The measurements were indicated as percentages. Overall, it is evident from the charts that outputs produced from the IT and the Service industries displayed an upward trend over the period.
In detail, the proportion of products from the IT sector was higher than the Service sector at the beginning of the period, at just over 6% in 1992. After it grew slightly in the next two years, the proportion of the IT outputs significantly increased to account for a peak of just over 14% at the end of the period, with the exception of a slight decline in 1996.
In comparison, the outputs of the Service sector accounted for a lower proportion than the IT sector, standing at only 4% in 1992. After the figure for the Service outputs rose moderately in the following two years, it stood in the range of 6% and 8% in a four-year period, before finishing at just over 8% in the final period, maintaining a lower proportion than the IT sector in an eight-year period.
It can be understood that the IT industry was considered to be the highest GDP contributor in the United Kingdom over the time frame. Despite the steady increase in the Service industry, the outputs still could not compete against that of the IT industry.
