Ibec, the Irish business lobbying organisation, has launched its Manufacturing in Ireland Report for 2024.
Manufacturing in Ireland is one of the high performing engines of the Irish economy with clusters of world class manufacturing operations in sectors such as biopharmaceuticals, engineering, medical technology, building materials, and food production.
In 2023, manufacturing employed over 220,841 individuals, supporting numerous families and generating substantial economic benefits. With total goods exports at €197.25 billion, the sector produced €13.7 billion in wages, €3.03 billion in income tax, and over €10 billion in corporation tax, highlighting its essential role in sustaining public services and infrastructure.
Ibec’s latest report ‘Manufacturing in Ireland – Facing Forward: Manufacturing Confidence Amidst Evolving Challenges’ highlights manufacturing success in Ireland, its fundamental importance to our economy and presents the results of an October 2024 survey, along with Ibec’s recommendations for continued growth and success in this sector.
