The industry is an integral part of the pharmaceutical supply chain and the pharmaceutical sector's research and development process, with some of the largest pharma manufacturing companies across the globe being based in Europe. Over the five years through 2024, industry revenue is expected to fall at a compound annual rate of 1% to reach €613 billion, including a fall of 1.5% in 2024. Overall, an ageing population across Europe is widening the available market for manufacturers, with the rising healthcare expenditure of most EU countries supporting the industry. The COVID-19 outbreak skyrocketed the industry’s importance to the functioning of the European economy, with many manufacturers rushing to develop and patent COVID-19 vaccines and other related tests. Spiking hospital admissions during the height of the pandemic heightened demand for various pharmaceutical products. Although EU pharma manufacturers are investing heavily in new treatment research and development, boosting industry growth, they are also facing intense competition from overseas suppliers, particularly from China and India, when it comes to selling intensive-care medical products. Industry revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.9% over the five years through 2029 to reach €779.9 billion. The EU reform of the pharmaceuticals framework will address systemic shortages and ensure the security of the supply of critical medicinal products, boosting industry performance. The rising adoption of big data and new manufacturing practices will speed up the commercialisation of different medical treatments, supporting industry performance.

The Structural Metal Product Manufacturing industry is heavily reliant on the performance of its key markets on the construction activity across the continent. From putting together frameworks for residential homes, offices and entertainment venues to manufacturing metal doors and windows, the output of this industry plays a key role in shaping Europe's urban landscape. As Europe's construction sector gained momentum, manufacturers benefited from the increase in commercial building activity at the start of the period, which was partly fuelled by growing businesses in the e-commerce sector requiring more warehouse space. It tumbled once again in 2022 as Russia's invasion of Ukraine created more economic disruption and Europe was crippled by skyrocketing inflation. Beyond material costs, high inflation generally, driven by energy price increases and supply chain issues, led to increased operating expenses and higher borrowing costs for construction firms as key interest rates rose too. There is an expectation of a moderate recovery and slight uptake in construction activity in Europe in 2025, following the challenging period in 2023 and 2024. Therefore, over the five years through 2025, revenue is set to rise at a compound annual rate of 4.8% to €247.1 billion, including a 1.9% rise in 2025. Major construction projects (including France's Grand Paris Express metro project) have supported sales of structural steel products. Investments in logistics and warehousing facilities by e-commerce heavyweights also have propped up demand for structural metal products, particularly prefabricated buildings, supporting revenue growth in the last five years. Looking ahead, the next five years look favourable for the industry. Metal structure manufacturers' revenue is forecast to creep upwards at a compound annual rate of 5.8% over the five years through 2030 to €327.4 billion. Mounting investment in commercial construction and communications infrastructure is set to drive up demand for metal structures like steel foundations and components used in building transmission towers. Furthermore, there is likely to be a sustained and in some cases considerable demand for housing in Europe in the coming years. Government policies targeting residential construction, including France's social housing units plan and Spain's State Housing Plan, should also support revenue expansion.

Technical testing and analysis companies provide crucial services to companies in all sectors of the economy. The construction, industrial production and energy sectors are the major markets for these services. These sectors depend on wider economic conditions, often dictating their demand for testing and analysis services. The COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent inflationary environment have heavily weighed on construction and manufacturing output, decimating demand for testing and analysis services. Revenue is projected to contract at a compound annual rate of 4.4% to €63.9 billion over the five years through 2024, including an estimated dip of 1.6% in 2024. A growing number of companies operating across Europe, alongside rising industrial production and a higher value of construction, have supported industry demand. However, strict lockdown restrictions during the COVID-19 outbreak hindered business sentiment and investment, delaying or cancelling major projects. The reduced level of industrial production and construction activity limited spending on testing services in 2020. As conditions improved and activity in the manufacturing and construction sectors rebounded, the need for materials and products to be tested surged. However, soaring inflation and heightened economic uncertainty have weakened spending on technical testing and analysis services as output in downstream markets has suffered. Improving economic conditions and lower European inflation rates will stimulate greater investment and business spending, with demand for technical testing and analysis following suit. Government funding and initiatives supporting the manufacturing and construction sectors will further bolster demand. Environmental efforts, driven by EU and UK's sustainability targets, will also generate an uptick for testing services as businesses strive to achieve accreditations and comply with regulations. Investments in advanced technology like AI, drones and telecommunication infrastructure will boost the need for comprehensive testing, especially in cybersecurity due to increasing threats. A growing number of testing and analysis companies will consequently expand their capabilities to reap the benefits of these opportunities. Revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 4.3% to €78.8 billion over the five years through 2029.
