Notes

The group of manufacturing industries include the subsectors of basic metals; chemicals; non-metallic minerals; transport equipment and machinery; food, beverages and tobacco products; paper and printing; wood; textiles and leather; rubber and plastics; furniture and other manufacturing. A reduction in the index value of structure implies a lower share of energy-intensive components than of other components in the analysed group. A reduction of index in unit intensity implies a collective increase in efficiency of energy use at the component level (i.e. subsector level).
