Switzerland stands out as the highest in labour cost per employee FTE in the European food products sector, followed closely by Denmark and the Netherlands as of 2023. Northern European countries generally exhibit higher costs compared to Eastern and Southern Europe, with Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina on the lower end of the spectrum.
Looking ahead, anticipate a continued differentiation between Western and Eastern Europe concerning labour costs, driven by economic factors, wage policies, and industry-specific developments. Inflationary pressures and labour market dynamics may also influence future cost trends in this sector.
