Exports

All businesses, whether they had any innovation activity in 2020 to 2022 or not, were asked if they had any international exports in calendar year 2022. In Scotland, 11.5% of all businesses had exported in 2022, compared to 15.9% in the UK as a whole.

Figure 12: Broader innovator businesses that co-operated with partners were most likely to have exported in 2022 for both Scotland and the UK (32.1% in Scotland, 35.1% in the UK). Non-broader innovators were least likely to export (6.6% in Scotland, 8.7% in the UK).
