In previous years Irish manufacturing had become an uncompetitive location for foreign companies to be based in due to a number of factors:

  • Higher labour cost and reduced supports
  • Increased barriers to growth (access to finance for Irish manufacturing companies)
  • Loss of cost competiveness
  • Disruptive technologies and rapid change in the business practices


Manufacturing Issues

As a result of these issues the manufacturing sector was gradually eroded with a significant loss of jobs and an exodus of many of the large scale long established manufacturing businesses leaving or scaling back operations in Ireland (Dell, Fruit of the Loom and a number of Pharmaceutical companies being high profile examples). With a renewed focus on exports the manufacturing sector is coming back into the spotlight and market opportunities are again becoming attractive. Competitive advances in areas of taxation, pro-business environment, a highly skilled workforce and an improvement in cost competitiveness have all contributed to recent growth in the industry.

 

Some Industry Stats

  • The manufacturing sector in Ireland employs over 200,000 and is a very important sector in the Irish economy as a significant part of its production is export focused.
  • Manufacturing is an area that has been targeted as a growth area, earmarked for governmental supports through Forfas, with an anticipated potential of over 40,000 extra jobs in the sector by 2020.
  • The sector provides employment across a range of occupations including technicians, operatives, engineering and trade professionals.
  • The manufacturing sector in Ireland is regionally dispersed and although large scale companies are based here, almost 95% of the companies here are small scale with less than 50 employees.
