NEXT MONTH Spotlight Profile: Singapore Advanced Manufacturing sector 


AUSTRIA:  Best prospect for Advanced Manufacturing 

Austria`s manufacturing industry generated $250 billion and accounted for 18% of the country`s GDP in 2020. According to the Austrian Economic Chamber, manufacturing employs approximately 670,000 in about 29,000 companies with an especially strong presence in the provinces of Upper Austria, Styria and Lower Austria.

Most Austrian manufacturers need to adopt more cutting-edge innovative technologies to increase their productivity and competitiveness. Advanced manufacturing solutions are critically important to this effort.  Many Austrian companies reinvest in their operations including for R&D, at an average annual level of 7% of revenue, according to a 2020 survey of 125 companies by international institute OnePoll. 

According to the 2019 Austrian Research and Technology Report, firms in the mid-range technology segment that provide industrial inputs and machinery in globally competitive supply chains (electronics, automotive, metal, plastics production, and processing) are the most frequent users of Industry 4.0 technologies and are trend leaders in Austria.

Austrian manufacturers face increasing requirements from their customers that are pushing for greater product diversity and environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes, while demanding new high-tech materials, shorter development cycles and just-in-time delivery.  See full report for this market here
