Main statistical findings

Structural profile

The other business services sector (NACE Groups 74.6 to 74.8) created EUR 168.1 billion of value added in the EU-27 in 2006 from total turnover of EUR 326.4 billion. These values represented 18.8 % of the business services (NACE Divisions 72 and 74) value added and 18.5 % of its turnover. This output was generated by just over 1.0 million enterprises employing 6.9 million persons, approximately one quarter (23.1 %) and three tenths (31.0 %) of the business services totals respectively. Among the three subsectors (NACE groups) covered by the other business services sector, miscellaneous business activities (NACE Group 74.8) was the largest in turnover and value added terms accounting for more than half or the sectoral total. However, industrial cleaning (NACE Group 74.7) had the largest workforce of the three subsectors covered, employing 3.1 million persons. More than one quarter of the EU-27’s value added in the other business services sector came from the United Kingdom (25.9 %), which was also the second most specialised Member State in terms of this sector’s share of non-financial business economy (NACE Sections C to I and K) value added after Luxembourg. Germany had the largest workforce in other business services. At a more detailed level, the United Kingdom was the largest Member State (in value added terms) in two of the subsectors, but was only fourth largest in industrial cleaning, where Germany, France and Italy were larger.

Expenditure and productivity

An analysis of expenditure and productivity within the EU-27’s other business services sector shows very different situations between the investigation and security activities and industrial cleaning subsectors on one hand, and the miscellaneous business activities subsector on the other hand. Investment by the EU-27’s miscellaneous business activities subsector was valued at EUR 9.1 billion in 2006, leading to an investment rate of 9.6 %, far above the 3.5 % rate for investigation and security activities and 3.7 % rate for industrial cleaning. An analysis of operating expenditure showed an equally remarkable difference, with personnel costs accounting for 67.0 % of operating expenditure for the investigation and security activities subsector and the industrial cleaning subsector, while these costs represented less than half this share, just 29.7 %, for the miscellaneous business activities subsector. The EU-27’s miscellaneous business activities subsector recorded the highest apparent labour productivity and average personnel costs of the three subsectors in 2006, as well as the highest wage adjusted labour productivity ratio (132.4 %). The apparent labour productivity ratio and the average personnel costs for the industrial cleaning subsector were particularly low, respectively the second and fourth lowest levels of these two ratios among all NACE groups within the nonfinancial business economy in 2005 or 2006, reflecting the high incidence of part-time work in this subsector. The wage adjusted labour productivity ratio is less influenced by the incidence of part-time work, and this ratio was 112.4 % for industrial cleaning and 113.0 % for investigation and security activities, both among the five lowest ratios within the non-financial business economy NACE groups in 2005 or 2006.
