Figure III.22. 55 The figures, calculated as averages for different sectors in the Member States, should be taken with some caution. The dataset suffers from lack of observations for a number of countries and industries. The average for Accommodation is based on 6 observations, real estate activities and administrative and support service activities on 7 observations, tobacco is based on 10 observations, construction on 11 observations coke and refined petroleum on 13 observations.

Successful outputs of innovating activities are new or improved products brought to the market. ICT related manufacturing and services industries seem to be more successful in developing new and/or improved products 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 than other industries. On the whole, manufacturing firms seem more successful than services firms. There are only two services industries among the top 20 sectors, cf. Figure III.23. 56 56 The figures should be taken with some caution for the reasons mentioned in the previous footnote. It should be noted that there are no observations for the UK. 85
