4. Structure The food and drink industry is the largest manufacturing
I
sector in the EU in terms of turnover, value added and
employment. It is the second leading manufacturing
sector in terms of number of companies in the EU.
• As a non-cyclical sector, the food and drink industry
showed continued stability during the recent economic
of the EU food downturn. The sector has outperformed the wider
manufacturing sector in the EU: food companies
registered output growth (1.3%) during the period
Q1 2008 to Q3 2011 while the output of the EU
manufacturing industry overall decreased (-7.9%).
and drink • The food industry is also a relatively stable employer with
a lower decline in employment than EU manufacturing as
a whole.

10. Trade
I In 2010, the EU food and drink industry exported
products worth €65.3 billion. The value of the overall EU
trade in food and drink products increased by 15.6%,
a marked improvement after a decrease of 11% the
previous year.
I Given high growth rates for exports to emerging markets
(42% on average for BRIC1), and slower demand-related
with
recovery of imports to Europe, the EU export balance for
food and drink amounted to nearly €10 billion in 2010.
This marks the reversal of an almost decade-long
downward trend in the export balance.
