Dataset is not available.


This table presents information about developments in turnover in the sector Business and ICT services (SIC sections J, M and N). The data can be divided by a number of branches according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 2008 (SIC 2008).
The figures are expressed as a percentage change compared to a previous period and by means of an index. In this table the base year is updated to 2015, in previous publications the base year was 2010.
Developments in turnover and volume are published in two formats. Firstly, as a year-on-year mutation which expresses growth relative to the same period in the preceding year.
The second format pertains to a period-on-period mutation, for example quarter-on-quarter. Period-on-period mutations are derived by applying seasonal adjustment.

Data available from: 1st quarter 2005.

Status of the figures:

Figures of 2023 are provisional.

The figures of a calendar year will become definitive no later than five months after the end of that calendar year. Until then, the figures in this table will be “provisional” and can still be adjusted as a result of corrected response.

Changes as of February 29, 2024:
Figures of the 4th quarter of 2023 have been added.

Changes as of August 31, 2023:
Due to the erroneous import of revised 2022 figures, the most up-to-date data were not used during the publication of 2023Q1 and some 2022 figures were changed. The changes are limited for most industries (ranging from a tenth to a maximum of 1 percentage point). Exceptions are:
- Sector 732 Market and opinion research, 2022Q4, where the difference was 1.87 percentage points.
- Sector 7912 Travel agencies, 2022 quarter 3 and 4, where the differences were 4.32 and 7.40 percentage points, respectively.
- Sector 82 Other business services, 2022 quarter 4, where the difference was -3.9 percentage points.

When will new figures be published?

Statistics Netherlands usually publishes the first results two months after the reporting period. Figures may be updated subsequently as a result of increased response. Five months after the reporting year, all late response is used to compile the definite figures, for all quarters in that reporting year. Until that point, figures are provisional. After that, figures are definite. Once definite figures have been published, Statistics Netherlands will only apply adjustments if significant corrections are necessary.

Indices
An index compares the value of a variable (e.g. turnover) in a certain period with the value of the same variable in the base period. The index of this base period is 100.

Year-on-year change
The change in turnover indicates the growth rate with respect to the same period of the previous year as a percentage. Statistics Netherlands calculates this on the basis of non-rounded figures.
