Notes on these figures
- 2021: break in the time series (publisher flag); compare years before and after 2021 with care.
- Eurostat's current business statistics start in 2021; earlier years are on a different basis and aren't shown.
- 2025 growth is for the wider industry (Other manufacturing (NACE C32)), not this industry alone. Official 2025 figures for this industry aren't published yet.
- 2025 growth is provisional and may be revised.
- UK figures are ONS 'total turnover'; other countries show Eurostat 'net turnover'. The measures are close but not identical, so compare with care.
