4 Irish-Owned Manufacturing and Internationally Traded Services 2. Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact - Selected Indicators per Annum All Manufacturing Int. Traded Services All Manufacturing Int. Traded Services Sales Exports Value Added Direct Expenditure in Irish Economy Sales Total sales of Irish-owned agency assisted companies operating in the manufacturing and internationally traded services sectors amounted to 25bn in Manufacturing sectors account for 19.3bn of this total with the remaining 5.7bn coming from internationally traded services. The food and drink sector continues to account for the largest share of indigenous sales ( 11.3bn or 45 percent), followed by basic and fabricated metal products and non-metallic minerals sectors, accounting for 5.9 and 5.8 percent of total sales among indigenous companies, respectively. Overall, sales in manufacturing and internationally traded services grew at a rate of 6.6 percent in nominal terms between 2004 and Total sales in the internationally traded services sector grew by around 12.3 percent between 2004 and 2005, whereas the manufacturing sectors recorded a five percent growth. Time series analysis reveals that sales growth has averaged over 2.2 percent per annum over the period ; most significant increases happening in 2004 and The share of sales accounted for by the internationally traded services sector grew significantly over the period This sector now accounts for nearly 23 percent of all sales, as opposed to around five percent in Exports Total exports of Irish-owned manufacturing and internationally traded services firms amounted to 9.6bn in 2005, with a nominal growth rate of six percent between 2004 and Manufacturing sectors accounted for 7.6bn (79percent) of this total and 2bn comes from software development and other internationally traded services. Food and drink exports continue to account for the largest share of indigenous manufacturing exports ( 5.2bn or 54 percent). Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

5 The overall export intensity of Irish manufacturing and international services sectors has averaged around 40 percent over the period Value Added Value Added (sales less the cost of materials and services) of Irish-owned manufacturing and international services amounted to 8.9bn in 2005, which grew by 6.2 percent in nominal terms. Value added grew by 8.7 percent per annum in nominal terms between 2000 and 2005 among indigenous companies. Value added per person employed (a standard measure of labour productivity) amounted to 72,900 in 2005, which equates to a nominal increase of 8.7 percent per annum during the period. Value added per person employed is higher in internationally traded services activities ( 116,100) compared to manufacturing activities ( 60,200). Expenditure 3.

Total expenditure by Irish-owned firms peaked in 2001 and followed a downward trend until 2004 where it has recorded 3 percent growth, followed by a 6.1 percent growth in Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

6 The total spend of the indigenous enterprise base in the domestic economy equates to just over 67 percent of sales in The share of Irish economy expenditure accounted for by raw materials has decreased from 62 percent in 1990 to around 53 percent in 2005, whereas the Irish economy expenditure accounted for by services increased from 15 percent in 1990 to 19 percent in 2005 reflecting structural change in economic activity from manufacturing sectors to internationally traded sectors where raw material inputs are not as significant in their output as in the manufacturing sectors. The share of payroll costs in overall Irish economy expenditure increased from 22.7 percent in 1990 to 28 percent in Direct Expenditure as a percentage of GNP In 2000, direct expenditure in the Irish economy by Irish-owned companies was 17.2 percent of GNP. The ratio to GNP has declined to 12.4 percent in This represents a 1.9% increase in nominal terms for the period. The combined effect of the slow down in growth of direct expenditure by Irish-owned companies coupled with the increase in GNP that has been fuelled by growth in the construction sector in the same period, has led to a decline in the percentage contribution to GNP of Irish-owned client companies. 4.

7 Value Added as a percentage of GNP Over the five year period from there is evidence of a convergence between the levels of Value Added made by Manufacturing and Internationally Traded Services. Manufacturing has decreased from 5.6 percent to 4.1 percent while Internationally Traded Services have increased from 2.1 percent to 2.3 percent which shows the increasing importance of the Internationally Traded Services sector 5.

8 Sales Total sales of agency assisted foreign-owned companies operating in the manufacturing and internationally traded services sectors grew by around 4.8 percent in nominal terms between 2004 and 2005 and amounted to 84bn in Manufacturing sectors accounted for 58bn of this total with the remaining 25bn coming from internationally traded services. Having witnessed double digit growth in the 1990s, sales growth in foreign owned companies slowed down to 3.7 percent per annum in nominal terms between 2000 and There are considerable differences across the individual sectors behind the overall figures. Food (6.8 percent), chemicals (6.3 percent) and medical devices sectors (11.7 percent) have continued to perform strongly during the same period while electronics industry (-2.1 percent) has been in decline. The internationally traded sector grew faster than the manufacturing industry in nominal terms between 2004 and 2005 and this sector now accounts for over 30 percent of all sales and 27 percent of employment, as opposed to 9% of sales and employment in Exports Total exports in foreign-owned manufacturing and internationally traded services amounted to 79bn in 2005 with manufacturing accounting for 55bn (70%) of this total and the internationally trading services sector contributing 24bn (30%) the balance. Overall, exports in foreign-owned manufacturing grew by 5.8 percent between 2004 and In line with the trends observed in the total sales figures, the contribution of the internationally traded services sector to this overall export growth has been higher than the rate observed in the manufacturing sectors. In 2005, nearly 94 percent of the goods and services produced by foreign-owned firms were exported. Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

9 Value Added Value added (sales minus the cost of materials and services) of foreign-owned firms amounted to 39bn in 2005, growing at a rate of 4.2 percent per annum in nominal terms from 2000 to Value added per person employed (a standard measure of labour productivity) equated to 283,400 in 2005, representing a 7.5 percent per annum increase in nominal terms between 2000 and The chemicals sector and the software sector record particularly high levels of value added per employee, averaging 632,800 and 578,300 respectively. 7.

10 Direct Expenditure as a percentage of GNP In 2000, direct expenditure in the Irish economy by foreign-owned companies was 19.8 percent of GNP. The ratio to GNP has declined to 12.7 percent in This represents a decrease of 0.3 percent in nominal terms for the period. The combined effect of the decrease in direct expenditure in the Irish economy by foreign-owned companies coupled with the increase in GNP that has been fuelled by growth in the construction sector in the same period has led to a decline in the percentage contribution to GNP of foreignowned client companies. 8.

Manufacturing has decreasing from 27.6 percent to 20.5 percent while Internationally Traded Services has remained at 8.8 percent. Total Value Added in foreign owned companies is twice that of their Direct Expenditure in both sectors. Direct Expenditure for Manufacturing companies was 8.5 percent of GNP while their Value Added amounted to 20.5 percent. The figures for Internationally Traded Services amounted to 4.2 percent and 8.8 percent of GNP respectively. 9.

11 1. Introduction 1.1 Background This document presents the results of the Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact (ABSEI) for The survey covers the client base of Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, Shannon Development and Údarás na Gaeltachta, and the population comprises all manufacturing and internationally traded services firms in Ireland with 10 or more employees. The document provides aggregated estimates for all Irish-owned and Foreign-owned firms across a range of variables and provides an overview of the evolution of manufacturing and internationallytraded services sectors over recent years. The present survey replaced the Irish Economy Expenditure (IEE) Survey undertaken by Forfás up to 1999 when the latter was amalgamated with Enterprise Ireland s Annual Business Survey. 1.2 Methodology An inter-agency group comprising Forfás and a representative from each of the participating agencies has been established to manage the implementation of the survey in a harmonised manner. The group meets on a regular basis to review progress in respect of survey fieldwork, and to consider issues of methodology, coverage and questionnaire content. The survey is used extensively by Forfás and the participating agencies for a number of purposes, some of which are listed below: Each of the participating agencies obtains aggregated information relating to its own client base and this information is used to assess the achievement of internal goals and targets. The firm-level data compiled in the survey is used by each of the agencies, and by Forfás, to add to its knowledge of individual companies, and also to feed into numerous policy/sectoral studies where information is required on different grouping of companies. The information collected in the survey is used in the "Value for Money Indicators" project along with other information from the employment survey and information from development agencies. 1.3 Results The results of this year s survey are presented alongside a re-working of the historic IEE data so as to provide trend information for the period The data from are based on the new ABSEI. Although every attempt has been made to reconcile the two datasets; including the use of a consistent weighting methodology to account for survey non-respondents, it has proven difficult to completely reconcile the two datasets due to differences in population bases. Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

12 For the purposes of this paper therefore, we have segmented the results into a number of distinct time periods roughly corresponding to the pre (), mid () and post () Celtic Tiger phases of the economy. This not only ensures that results are internally consistent (i.e. that we are not making inferences concerning growth rates across different surveys), but also allows us to examine the performance of the Irish enterprise base over recent years. In the few instances where it has proven necessary to show trend information over the entire period, as in the case of exports intensity, the discontinuity between the two series is clearly marked. The document provides a commentary on key results in respect of Irish-owned manufacturing and internationally traded services (Section 2) and Foreign-owned manufacturing and internationally traded services (Section 3). Detailed tabular data are provided in the appendices on the basis of All Irish-owned Firms, All Foreign-owned Firms, and All Firms Combined. Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

This is still lower than the experience of the indigenous enterprise base in the second part of the 1990s when sales growth averaged 8.8 percent per annum in nominal terms. On the other hand, sales growth of 6.4 percent was recorded in The table also highlights some interesting aspects of the structural change that has been taking place in the indigenous enterprise base. Sales growth in the internationally traded services sector continues to outpace manufacturing performance between 2000 and 2005; with 7.3 percent growth in internationally traded services and just less than one percent growth in manufacturing per annum in nominal terms. However the level of total sales in manufacturing is still around four times the level of sales in internationally traded services among indigenous firms. A detailed sectoral breakdown of these sales is provided in the appendices (A1). To highlight broad trends, the various manufacturing sectors have been amalgamated into a smaller number of groups Food/Drink/Tobacco, All Other Manufacturing (textiles, printing, wood products, chemicals, rubber and plastics, non-metallic minerals, manufacturing n.e.c.) and All Engineering Sectors (general machinery, fabricated metal products, electrical and electronic equipment, professional goods, transport equipment). For the purposes of this report, the international services sector is divided into two groups Software Development and All Other International Services (which includes engineering services, educational services, and other computer related activities outside pure software development content, digital media etc ).

Table 11 provides an overview of sales and employment across a number of broad industry groups to illustrate how the composition of Irish-owned industry has changed between 1990 and The share of sales accounted for by manufacturing has dropped from 95.3 percent in 1990 to 77.2 percent in 2005, with the food and drink sector accounting for most of the decrease over the period. On the other hand, the share of sales accounted for by international services has increased from 4.7 percent in 1990 to 22.8 percent in 2005, highlighting the increasing importance of this sector. Overall employment shares of manufacturing and internationally traded services show a similar picture over the same period; however there are significant differences at the individual sector level. While the food and drink sector accounted for around 45.2 percent of the output of Irishowned industry in 2005, it accounts for around one third of the employment (31.3 percent). All Other Manufacturing sector has witnessed its share of Irish-owned employment drop from 42.8 percent in 1990 to 25.9 percent in 2005, while the Engineering sector has experienced a small increase from 18.4 percent to 19.9 percent over the same period. The internationally traded services sector has seen its share of Irish-owned employment increase almost fourfold over the period, from 5.7 percent in 1990 to 22.9 percent in Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

Overall, exports of Irish-owned manufacturing and internationally traded services companies amounted to 9.6bn in The food and drink sector which accounts for 54 percent of all exports, witnessed 4.1 percent export growth in All Engineering sector exports increased by 7.4 percent in 2005, the highest growth rate since All Other Manufacturing category recorded a 4.3 percent export growth during Performance of the internationally traded services sector in relation to export growth continues to outpace that of the manufacturing sector, with an 11.3 percent growth rate in 2005 as opposed to 4.6 percent growth in the manufacturing exports. Export growth of 1.2 percent per annum over the period has been lower than the 2.2 percent per annum growth in total sales (Table 2.1) among indigenous companies. Export growth has been much higher in internationally traded services sectors compared to the manufacturing industries on a per annum basis between 2000 and In nominal terms, manufacturing exports are still three times larger than exports in internationally traded services sector.

Figure 13 shows that the total export intensity of indigenous industry has hovered from 38 percent to 43 percent throughout the period The food and drink sector has a big impact on the overall proportions, as illustrated by the close relationship between the trend lines. The broadly defined engineering sector has tended to export the highest share of its output, but the data suggest that its export intensity has been in decline particularly since 1998, from 52.1 percent to 36.2 percent in The internationally traded services sector shows a high degree of volatility in export intensity, which may be due to the fact that it is a relatively new sector and therefore more likely to show instability compared to some of the more established industries. The All Other Manufacturing category (comprising sectors such as textiles, printing, wood products etc.) has the lowest export intensity of the sectors examined with exports accounting for less than 25 percent of output in Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

It provides a measure of the specific contribution of firms/sectors in terms of economic activity. The total value added of Irish-owned manufacturing and internationally traded services is estimated at 8.8bn in 2005, which equates to just over 35 percent of the sales figure of 25bn. Table 14 shows that total value added is estimated to have grown by five percent per annum in nominal terms over the period. Manufacturing sector continues to account for the majority of value added ( 5.6bn or 64 percent) in 2005; with an increase of 2.4 percent per annum in nominal terms between 2000 and Total value added in the internationally traded services sector increased by 11 percent per annum in nominal terms during the same period. Examined as a share of sales, the value added of the food and drink sector equates to 21.8 percent of sales in this sector. In other manufacturing sectors, value added equates to approximately 40 percent of total sales. Value added in internationally traded services sectors equates to over 56 percent of the value of sales. Across all Irish-owned manufacturing and internationally traded services sectors, value added as a percentage of sales has increased from 23 percent in 1990 to 35.4 percent in This trend suggests a shift towards higher value added activities within individual sectors or a shift towards sectors where value added contribution is higher. Value added per person employed in manufacturing and internationally traded services is estimated at 72,900 in 2005, an increase of 8.7 percent per annum in nominal terms since Value added per person employed is higher in internationally traded services activities ( 116,100) compared to manufacturing activities ( 60,200).

Manufacturing firms account for 3.3bn of total payroll costs and internationally traded services firms account for the remaining 1.3bn. Payroll costs per employee in Irish-owned manufacturing and internationally traded services sectors averaged at 38,800 in 2005, representing an increase of 6.9 percent per annum over the period. The broad manufacturing sectors have rather uniform average payroll costs per employee, approximately 36,000 in each of the sectors, compared to the internationally traded services sector which has an average payroll cost per employee of 48,900 in The rate of increase in payroll costs per employee has been higher in internationally traded services sectors than in manufacturing sector, with 7.4 and 6.5 percent, respectively between 2000 and Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

Foreign-owned manufacturing and international services base experienced double digit sales growth during the 1990s, particularly in the second half of the decade when the overall rate of increase amounted to 21.1 percent per annum in nominal terms. Sales growth has slowed in recent years and the sectoral data behind this aggregate total shows that the modest performance from (3.7 percent per annum in nominal terms) is caused by some sectors witnessing a decrease (the electronics sector in particular) and this is being compensated for by increasing sales levels in some other sectors chemicals/pharmaceuticals (up 6.3 percent per annum between ) and the medical devices/instruments sector which grew at a rate of 11.7 percent per annum over the same period. The decline in the sales growth during the period compared to the 1990s has been higher in the internationally traded services sector than in the manufacturing sectors.

The share of sales accounted for by foreign-owned food and drinks companies has declined sharply since 1990, while the chemicals/pharmaceuticals sector now accounting for 26.7 percent of the reported output of sales a share that has been steadily increasing over the years. The electronics sector accounted for around a quarter of all sales in 2005, but this actually represents a drop in its share of the overall output of foreign-owned companies compared to the situation in the late 1990s. Other manufacturing activities outside the key sectors identified have decreased in importance over the years and this reflects the decline in traditional sectors such as textiles and general engineering. In terms of employment, the same general picture emerges although it is interesting to note that there are some areas where sales and employment levels are disproportionate. The chemicals/pharmaceuticals sector for example, accounts for 26.7 percent of the reported sales but only 15.4 percent of the employment in foreign-owned companies in Ireland. By contrast, the all other services area (which includes activities such as shared services) accounts for 16.5 percent of employment but generates less than 10 percent of the sales of foreign-owned industry in Ireland. This pattern is also reflected in the Medical Devices/Instruments sector where 15.7 percent of employment generated 7 percent of sales. Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact

In the case of foreign-owned multinationals, this measure may not reflect the real contribution of the Irish-owned operation, as much of the bought-in materials and services are bought from other parts of the same enterprise group and can be distorted by transfer pricing arrangements. The total value added of foreign-owned manufacturing and international services is estimated at 39.8bn in 2005, which equates to 47.4 percent of the gross output/sales. Although total value added grew at a rate of 4.2 percent per annum in nominal terms over the period, the aggregate figures mask important sectoral patterns. The strong growth in chemicals and medical devices for example is partially offset by the decline in the electronics sector. Based on this survey, value added per person employed was 283,400 in 2005, which represents a nominal increase of 7.5 percent per annum since Value added per person employed is higher in international services ( 321,500 in 2005) compared to manufacturing ( 269,600 in 2005) activities. It is important to note that aggregate value added per person employed figures for broad categories of manufacturing and internationally traded services are significantly affected by one or two individual sectors, such as chemicals in manufacturing and software in internationally traded services.

While payroll costs account for around 50 percent of value added in indigenous industry, they account for 16.5 percent of the reported value added of foreign manufacturing and international services. Total payroll costs per person employed averaged 46,700 in 2005, representing an increase of 5.9 percent per annum in nominal terms over the period. Payroll costs per employee are higher in international services compared to the manufacturing sector; averaging 49,200 and 45,800 respectively in The chemicals/pharmaceuticals sector has higher average payroll costs per capita than other manufacturing sectors; however it has the lowest ratio of payroll cost as a percentage of value added. The detailed data in the appendices (C6) point to some acceleration in payroll costs per employee over the time period examined.
