High added value manufacturing marks significant growth: Institute for Market Economics

In recent years, high added value productions have marked a three-fold increase as compared to 2015. Growth is reported in the sectors with a higher level of mechanization and automation which are well integrated into European and international added value chains.

High-tech productions attract the highest number of employees – an average annual growth rate of 8%. The differences in pay are also significant – three times higher average expenditure in computer technology compared to clothing and furniture manufacturing.
