EU industrial structure - EU Bookshop - Europa

While there is some variety in the overall industrial
structure, common trends emerge. market services
shares have grown by an average of 38 percentage
points from 1997 to 2009 while manufacturing
and agricultural activities shares are diminishing
in almost all countries With the exception of Malta,
all countries have seen their share of market services
activities increase since 1997. The countries where
the gains in shares over time of market services were
the most spectacular were Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania,
and Luxembourg, where market services increased
by between 8.5 percentage points and 10 percentage
Chapter II — Changes in EU Industrial structure
points. In Latvia and Luxembourg, these gains were
coupled with large drops in shares of manufacturing
by between 7 and 10 percentage points. The countries
that have the lowest shares of market services in the
EU are catching up and have all seen robust expansion
in market services shares since 1997; increases
between 3 and 5.5 percentage points were recorded in
Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary and Romania. A few
countries, Romania, Slovakia and Spain, stand out as far as
the construction sector is concerned. In these countries,
the share of the construction sector is around 10 %, much
higher than the EU average of 6.3 %, cf. Table II.1.
