Supply and Use Tables for Ireland 2020

Table 3.1 below contains an aggregated version of the 2020 Supply Table at current purchasers' prices. Domestic Supply (Output), which is in basic prices, was valued at €718 billion in 2020. Imports (inclusive of insurance and freight costs) were €426 billion. Taxes less Subsidies on products were €20 billion. Taxes less Subsidies and Trade Margins are added by product to convert the supply from basic prices to purchasers' prices. The total value of Margins sums to zero but Margins are positive and negative across products. Adding Margins allocates the mark-ups made by wholesalers and retailers from wholesale and retail sales to the products that are being sold. Summing these components together leads to Total Supply at purchasers' prices of €1,164 billion in 2020.

Figure 3.1 displays the component shares of Supply in 2020. As mentioned previously, Domestic Supply made up 62% of Total Supply in 2020, Imports made up 37% and Taxes less Subsidies made up the remainder. However, here we can see how these shares varied across product categories. Imports made up the majority of Total Supply of products of Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities, as well as products of Administrative and Support Service Activities, at 81% and 73% respectively. Total Supply of other products were made up almost entirely of Domestic Supply, such as Construction at 92%. Figure 3.1 also shows how Taxes less Subsidies varied largely across product categories as a share of Total Supply. An example of this is products of Accomodation and Food Service activities, where Taxes less Subsidies accounted for 13% of Total Supply in 2020, whereas for products of Mining and Quarrying, Taxes less Subsidies made up only 2% of Total Supply. Trade Margins are removed from the products of Wholesale and Retail Trade and distributed across the relevant products that were traded. This explains the large negative percentage for Trade Margins for the category.
