Using as a definition of environmental products industries, ones producing "a product which enhances or prevents the deterioration of the external environment", it is estimated that in 1992 UK manufacturer sales of environmental products were £5.4 billion, exports were £850 million, imports were £495 million and the UK market was £5.1 billion. Estimates have not been made for later years.
