Chart 1 illustrates the estimated revenues for the fair use core and non-core industries from 2010 to 2014. Total revenue of fair use industries increased from $4.6 trillion in 2010 to $5.6 trillion in 2014, or by approximately $1.0 trillion dollars. Since 2002, fair use revenues have expanded by $2.2 trillion. Since 2010, the core industry revenues expanded by 4.9 percent on average while non-core industries grew 5.7 percent on average. Overall, fair use revenues expanded 5.2 percent annually. As a result, core industries’ share of fair use revenues declined from 57.4 percent to 56.6 percent.

Though strong, the growth in the core industry revenues was suppressed by a relatively poor performance of core manufacturing industries. In contrast, most service industries expanded. For example, revenues earned by other information industries (which include internet publishing and broadcasting and web search portals) expanded 30 percent annually, electronic shopping revenues expanded 19 percent annually, and ISP revenues expanded 9 percent annually. Among non-core industries, strong growth rates were achieved by agencies, brokerages, and other insurance related activities; management, scientific and technical consulting services; and agents and managers for artists, athletes, entertainers, and other public figures.
