The Top 10 industrial enterprises accounted for 48.6% of all production in Ireland in 2016.
These 10 enterprises had an aggregate Net Selling Value (NSV) of €64.8 billion, while the remaining 3,116 industrial enterprises reported €68.5 billion. See Figure 1 and Headline table.
Over 80% of NSV generated by Top 50 enterprises
The Top 50 industrial enterprises in Ireland represented over four fifths of the overall NSV with a value of €107.7 billion out of a total of €133.3 billion. This indicates that the Manufacturing sector in Ireland is heavily reliant on a very small number of enterprises. See Figure 2 and Headline table.

Value of Products manufactured and sold by Irish based enterprises rose 15.3% to €133.3 billion in 2016
The total value of products manufactured and sold in Ireland in 2016 was €133.3 billion. This was an increase of 15.3% on 2015 figures. See Table 1.
The Pharmaceutical sector reported NSV of €58.3 billion in 2016
The most significant increase in Net Selling Value was in the Pharmaceutical sector. Basic pharmaceutical products and preparations increased by 128.5% over a two year period from €25.5 billion in 2014 to €58.3 billion in 2016.
As well as the Pharmaceutical sector, in terms of NSV, strong performances were also reported in the Food, Chemical and Computer sectors. These four sectors combined accounted for 82.8% or €110.4 billion of total NSV in Ireland in 2016, up from 80.6% or €93.2 billion in 2015. See Figure 3 and Table 1.

Irish manufacturing trends 2014 to 2016
The dominance of the Chemical and Pharmaceutical sectors has increased steadily since 2014, when both sectors combined accounted for 44.0% of total NSV. In 2015, this figure increased to 51.5% and 55.8% in 2016.
The absolute value of the Food sector has increased steadily since 2014, but its share of total NSV has fallen over the same period. In 2014, the value of all food products was €19.8 billion, which represented 22.1% of value of all goods produced. The Food sector increased to €20.4 billion in 2015 but the percentage share dropped to 17.7%. This trend continued in 2016 when the value of Food products increased to €21.4 billion which represented only 16.1% of all products. See Figure 4 and Table 2.

Significant growth in Ireland's top industries
The Pharmaceutical sector recorded the biggest percentage increase in NSV in Ireland between the years 2014 - 2016, with growth of 128.5%. The value of Computer, electronic, optical and electrical equipment manufactured in the same time period rose 56.3% while the Beverages sector grew by 18.8% in NSV terms. Some elements of these percentage changes may be attributable to NACE changes as a result of enterprises moving from the Services sector to the Industrial sector. See Figure 5 and Table 1.

The value of EU Industrial production more evenly spread over a number of sectors in 2016 than in Ireland
Irish industrial production and sales were largely concentrated in only four sectors when compared to the EU28. The Pharmaceutical sector NACE 21 was the largest contributor to NSV in Ireland in 2016 at 43.7% of total NSV. In contrast, in the EU28 as a whole, the Pharmaceutical sector accounted for only 3.8% of total NSV in 2016.
Data for the EU28 was more evenly spread over a larger number of industrial sectors. The most dominant sector in terms of NSV in EU28 in 2016 was Basic metals, 22.0%, Transport equipment, 17.0%, and Food products, 16.4%. See Figure 6 and Table 3.

Changes in selected manufacturing products in 2016
The manufacture of food related products grew by 4.7% in 2016, from €20.4 billion in 2015 to €21.4 billion, with several specific product codes reporting increased NSV. The production of food preparations for infants in particular has seen growth rates of 72.4% from €778.2 million in 2015 to €1,342.0 million in 2016. The manufacture of skimmed milk powder in packaging greater than 2.5kg more than tripled in NSV terms from €35.4 million in 2015 to €111.2 million in 2016, an annual increase of 214.3%.
Moving away from the Food sector, the manufacture of artificial joint products reported a significant increase of 152.1% in NSV terms, rising from €394.4 million in 2015 to €994.3 million in 2016. See Figure 7 and Tables 1 & 4.

Irish Industrial Production by Sector
Data for this survey is collected under the name of PRODCOM, but is currently published under the title of Irish Industrial Production by Sector.
Introduction to PRODCOM
This report presents results for the annual PRODCOM Inquiry conducted by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). This is an annual survey of the value and volume of products produced by industrial enterprises in Ireland and sold during the reference year. It is carried out in compliance with the European Community (EC) Council Regulation on the Establishment of a Community Survey of Industrial Production (No. 3924/91). The results are presented using a harmonised EU product classification called PRODCOM. The title comes from the French term "PRODuction COMmunautaire" (Community Production). Appreciation is extended to all enterprises that co-operated with this annual inquiry.
Scope and Coverage
The survey covers all industrial enterprises with three or more persons engaged which are wholly or primarily engaged in industrial production and industrial services in the Mining, Quarrying and Manufacturing industries. The survey does not cover the following sectors and products:
• products of coal and lignite mining
• coke and refined petroleum products
Survey Organisation
Customised questionnaires are issued to enterprises on an annual basis, seeking information at a detailed level on the products sold in the previous year, irrespective of the year of manufacture. A residual category is included in each questionnaire for the recording of new products. The details returned are classified by reference to the PRODCOM classification. Individual questionnaires are updated annually to distinguish the particular products produced by each enterprise.
Product Groupings
In the PRODCOM classification, products are grouped by the NACE Rev.2 four digit industrial sectors in which they are primarily produced (i.e characteristic products). NACE Rev.2 is the EU system for classifying economic activities. The value and volume data shown for a product includes not only the production by enterprises classified to the NACE sector where it is primarily produced but also its production by enterprises classified to other NACE Rev.2 sectors.
Classification of Products
The business activity classification used in this publication is based on the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community i.e. NACE Rev. 2. Prior to 2008 PRODCOM publications were based on the NACE Rev.1.1 classification.
The PRODCOM classification is organised into product divisions and classes corresponding to the sectoral divisions (2 digit) of NACE Rev.2. It uses an eight-digit product code - XX.XX.XX.XX. The first four digits of the code correspond to the 4-digit classes of NACE Rev.2. The first six digits are the European Community Classification of Products by Activity (CPA) codes. The CPA provides a detailed listing of the characteristic products for each 4-digit NACE Rev.2 economic activity. The last two digits provide a more detailed breakdown of the CPA classes into PRODCOM product headings.
There is a direct link between the PRODCOM classification and the EU foreign trade Harmonised System/Combined Nomenclature (HS/CN) classification. Each PRODCOM 8-digit heading covers one or more HS/CN 8-digit headings. The following example shows the link between all the different classifications:
PRODCOM Description Foreign Trade HS/CN code
10.12.10.10 Fresh or chilled whole chickens 0207.11
The PRODCOM code 10.12.10.10 covers the same products as HS/CN code 0207.11, which is the code in foreign trade statistics under which imports and exports of chickens appear. Thus for any product a direct link can be made for its production (PRODCOM code) and its imports and exports (HS/CN code) to derive domestic consumption (production plus imports minus exports). This in turn can be linked to the sector of economic activity.
As described above PRODCOM data may be combined with foreign trade data (imports and exports) to derive apparent domestic consumption. Apparent consumption is calculated by adding imports to domestic production and subtracting exports. This approximation may be of limited value in some instances due to the need to suppress details to preserve confidentiality, timing differences between PRODCOM and foreign trade data, or different valuation methods.
Variables
The data covers the value and volume of products manufactured and sold by enterprises, irrespective of the year of manufacture. Also included are the fees earned by the enterprises for industrial services provided and work done on commission.
Value relates to the net selling value, excluding VAT, invoiced to customers. It excludes duties and taxes payable on the goods such as excise duties, separately charged freight costs, discounts and goods resold without any further processing.
Estimation for Non-Response
Details for key non-respondents were estimated using turnover data from other CSO surveys, principally the Monthly Industrial Production Inquiry. Total turnover was disaggregated, where possible, by reference to the product mix details supplied by the non-respondents to an earlier PRODCOM inquiry. In all other cases, both volume and value are imputed by the IT system.
In the case of respondents, estimates for missing volumes have been made in certain cases by using the average unit price from the respondent firms. In other cases it was not possible to estimate for missing volumes.
Confidentiality
The information provided by enterprises is treated as strictly confidential in accordance with national and EU law. Rules are applied to both the value and volume data of each individual product or service to identify confidential data. Direct or indirect disclosure of information relating to identifiable respondents is avoided by suppressing confidential data. Individual products which are confidential are identified by -99,999,999.

(1) Definition
Net Selling Value
The value of sales for each product relates to the net selling value i.e. the net amount (excluding VAT) invoiced to customers. This value includes amounts charged by enterprises to customers for transport of goods by their own vehicles and packaging costs.
Excluded from this definition are:
• duties and taxes payable on the goods e.g. excise duties
• separately charged freight costs
• any discounts granted to customers
• goods resold without further processing
(2) Products
(3) Prodcom
PRODCOM is the title of the European Community (EC) production statistics for Mining, Quarrying and Manufacturing, i.e Section B and C of the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 2). The title comes from the French "PRODuction COMmunautaire" (Community production).
The basis of the survey is Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3924/91 on the establishment of a Community survey of industrial production (PRODCOM Regulation). In accordance with Article 2(2) of the above-mentioned Regulation, production is to be recorded according to the product headings of the PRODCOM list. The list does not include the products of coal and lignite mining, extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas, manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (Divisions 05, 06 and 19 of NACE Rev. 2), since they are already covered in a separate set of Community statistics.
