Covering the period 1998-2021, these tables provide a complete picture of the flows of products in the Scottish onshore economy for a given year. They detail the relationship between producers and consumers and the interdependencies of industries.
The Input-Output framework of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) consists of three types of tables:
The Tables provide a complete picture of the flows of goods and services (products) in the Scottish onshore* economy for a given year. They detail the relationship between producers and consumers and the interdependencies of industries.
Supply and Use Tables are constructed directly from survey and other data sources. The Supply Table provides estimates of the output of a large number of differentiated products by each industry and the Use Table provides estimates of the inputs (of products) used by each industry to produce their own output.
The Supply and Use Tables are the basic building blocks; all other Input-Output analyses are derived from them. Symmetric Tables (a.k.a. the Analytical Tables) represent the modelling aspect of the Input-Output framework. The Scottish Government produces annual Industry by Industry, Product by Product and Leontief Inverse Analytical Tables.

Please note that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led to challenges in the collecting and processing of the many data sources that underlie the Supply and Use Tables, as well as leading to large impacts on structures and behaviours within the economy. As a result, estimates for 2020 and 2021 are subject to more uncertainty than usual.
Due to the large structural changes and behaviours, unless the intention is to specifically model the economic impacts within the 2020 or 2021 pandemic years, it is strongly recommended that the 2019 model of the economy and associated multipliers are used as a proxy for post pandemic impact modelling.
