In 2023, Denmark led European countries in labour costs per employee FTE for made-up textile articles (except apparel) at 66.4 thousand Euros, followed closely by Norway. Western European nations, such as Austria, Luxembourg, and France, exhibited comparatively high labour costs, whereas Eastern European countries like Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Romania showed notably lower expenses.
Looking forward, influences such as wage inflation, industry automation, and outsourcing trends might heavily impact labour costs in the European textile industry. Watch for economic conditions, policy changes, and technological advancements, which could drive either convergence or further disparity in labour costs regionally.
