Output and Value Added by Activity 2018

Output

Open in Excel:

‌Output at basic prices covers the value of all goods produced for sale, including unsold goods, and all receipts for services rendered. Output furthermore covers the market equivalent of goods and services produced for own use, such as own account capital formation, services of owner-occupied dwellings and agricultural products produced by farmers for own consumption. For more information see the Background Notes.

The following set of four treemap charts illustrate the proportional composition of the total by each A21 sector in a particular year (1995, 2005, 2010, 2018). The value and rank of each A21 sector are also provided along with comparisons with EU Member States in the tables and graphs below. This structure is repeated across each thematic Chapter. Further details on the composition of the A21 and A10 sectors are provided in the charts and tables and in the Background Notes Chapter.

When examined by A21 sector, Manufacturing (C), Information & Communication (J) and Financial & Insurance activities (K) were the largest sectors by Output in both 1995 and 2018. Construction (F), the fourth largest sector by Output in 1995, increased to the second largest in 2005. Construction (F) then declined to the tenth largest sector by Output in 2010 before recovering to the sixth largest in 2018. Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (A) declined from the sixth biggest sector by Output in 1995 to the fourteenth biggest in 2010 before recovering slightly to the thirteenth largest in 2018.
