First Portrayal of Quebec's Digital Creativity Industry

The study, prepared by Groupe SAGE and La Fabrique de sens for Xn Québec with Alliance numérique and Coop La Guilde, profiles Quebec's digital creativity industry, defined as commercial activity producing content and experiences through computer tools and digital technologies.

• The authors estimate the sector contributes at least $1.25 billion to Quebec's economy, with growth of nearly 50% compared to 2015, while noting the figure is a minimum.
• Digital creativity companies are young, with 60% of surveyed firms created since 2010 and 19% launched in the last three years.
• The share of firms reporting a net profit margin of 10% or more rose from 20% in 2015 to 42% in 2018.
