Jumlah nilai tambah (Gross value added),
industri kreatif 5,2 persen dari GDP, penempatan kerja 8,5 persen, dan ekspor 8,0 persen dari jumlah GDP. Korea juga berhasil mengembangkan industri kreatif. Badan pemerintah seperti KOCCA mengambil peranan penting. Dalam pada itu, citra positif Korea yang terbentuk melalui Gelombang Korea dan K-Pop cukup membantu memperkenalkan konten budaya Korea ke luar negeri. Indonesia juga berpotensi menghasilkan konten budaya, karena kesuburan cerita dan daya kreatif orang Indonesia. Potensi tersebut dapat digali dan dikembangkan sebagai basis penguatan pengembangan industri kreatif. Agar dapat terlaksana dan berhasil, peranan pemerintah tidak dapat diabaikan. Pemerintah membimbing dan mengintegrasikan daya potensi ini. Infrastruktur yang berkaitan dengan industri kreatif perlu dilengkapi dan ahli budaya, sastrawan, dan kalangan akademis perlu dilibatkan. Merekalah yang mempunyai daya cipta dan dapat menghasilkan konten budaya di era ekonomi kreatif.
