In the above figure, a version of which is repeated across the Output method chapters, the 2012-2023 time-series of notable sectors of the economy are displayed. To allow for greater comparability over time the percentage contribution made by each to the total is displayed.

Unlike Output, Manufacturing (C) was the not the biggest single A21 sector of the economy when measured by Intermediate Consumption in 2023. Information and Communication (J) was the biggest sector. These two sectors dominated and combined they comprised 57% of total Intermediate Consumption across the economy in 2023.

Construction (F) had Intermediate Consumption which was 20% of Information and Communication in 2023.

The Other category in the figure above is total Output less Manufacturing, Information and Communication and Construction. Sector figures can be found in Table 3.1 above and in the full 1995-2023 time series available in the CSO's PxStat database.
