Manufacturing matters

Manufacturing demonstrates a huge potential to generate wealth

and create high quality, value-adding jobs

o Around one in ten (9.8 %) of all enterprises in the EU-27’s non-financial

business economy were classified to manufacturing in 2009, a total of 2.0

million enterprises.

o The manufacturing sector employed 31 million persons in 2009, generated

5.812 billion Euro of turnover and 1.400 billion Euro of value added.

o By these measures, manufacturing was the second largest of the NACE

sections within the EU-27’s non-financial business economy in terms of its

contribution to employment (22.8 %) and the largest contributor to non-

financial business economy value added, accounting for one quarter (25.0

%) of the total

Manufacturing matters

European manufacturing is a dominant element of international trade

o EU-27 exported manufactured goods to the value of EUR 3.883 billion in 2010.

Extra-EU trade in manufactured goods resulted in a trade surplus of EUR 174

billion in 2010.

Manufacturing is an R&D&I intensive activity

o In 2006, the R&D expenditure just in the Mechanical Engineering sector in

EU-10 was $ 8,323 million.

o In 2007, the ‘manufacturing’ sector received the greatest share of business

enterprise R&D expenditure in most of the EU-27 countries.

o In 2011, manufacturing accounted for 23% of employment and 22% of value

added in the non-financial business economy.

o It is estimated that for every job in manufacturing a further complementary job is

needed in related business services, such as logistics, marketing or legal advice.

o Manufacturing has also been the main driver of productivity growth. From 2000

up to 2007 the average productivity growth stood at around 3%, compared to the

average for total economy at 1%.

o Industry is clearly a driver of knowledge-based economy, being responsible for

some 80% of private R&D.

o Manufacturing is the most important sector for European international trade

accounting for over 90% of overall exports of goods.

Challenges for European manufacturing

o Manufacturing the products of the future, addressing the ever changing

needs of society and offering the potential of opening new markets by

producing an increasing number of high-tech and smart products

o Economic sustainability of manufacturing, combining high-performance and

quality with cost-effective productivity, realising reconfigurable, adaptive and

evolving factories capable of economically viable small scale production

o Social sustainability of manufacturing, increasing human achievements,

creating sustainable, safe and attractive workplaces, creating sustainable

care and responsibility for employees and citizens in global supply chains

o Environmental sustainability of manufacturing, reducing resource

consumption and waste generation, optimizing the use of resources

including new or advanced materials in view of producing more with less

o Over 100 organizations, from more than 20 countries, are directly and actively

engaged in the ETP, including large OEMs, SMEs, Industrial Associations,

Research Institutes, Universities and National Authorities.

Large Companies: DAIMLER, FESTO, SONAE, ALSTHOM, SIEMENS, DANFOSS,

COMAU, MONDRAGON, ABB, ROLLS-ROYCE etc.

Associations representing SMEs: ORGALIME, VDMA, AGORIA, FIM,

TEKNIKFORETAGEN etc

o Under the ETP’s umbrella, 28 MANUFUTURE National & Regional Technology

Platforms are active with more than 1,800 member organizations around Europe.

Its mission is to define and implement research & innovation

strategies, capable of speeding up the rate of industrial

transformation in Europe, securing high value adding

employment & winning a major share of world manufacturing

output in the future knowledge driven economy

The Community – A European Technology Platform

o As a MANUFUTURE initiative, EFFRA has been engaged in shaping and

implementing the ‘Factories of the Future’ (FoF) Public-Private Partnership (PPP)

in cooperation with the European Union.

o Its Board of Directors includes representatives of large industrial companies,

such as COMAU, DAIMLER, FESTO, SIEMENS, VOLVO, MONDRAGON,

SONNAE etc., and associations, such as ORGALIME, VDMA,

TEKNIKFORETAGEN, CETIM, AGORIA, etc.

o Currently, more than 100 member organizations, including industry, research and

associations / groupings

Its key objective is to promote pre-competitive research

on production technologies within the European

Research Area

Benefits from an AVM KIC

o foster the creation of interconnected regional clusters with local

transfers and collaboration - Specific attention could be given to those

regions more affected by declining manufacturing capacity as well as

to SMEs

o play an important role in re-shaping the education landscape, ensuring

the availability of a highly qualified workforce which is sufficient in

quality as well as in numbers

o enable capacity building for interaction and promotion of

transdisciplinary skills and competences, particularly for the

combination of multiple key enabling technologies as proposed by the

KETs High-Level Group
