The European starches and starch products sector is experiencing varied labor costs per employee FTE, with the Netherlands having the highest at 100.7 thousand euros. Italy, Belgium, and Denmark report similar high figures, all around the 90s in thousand euros. Conversely, Eastern and Southern European nations like Poland, Greece, and the Czech Republic maintain significantly lower costs, below 25 thousand euros per employee. As of 2023, these values indicate large disparities across Europe due to differences in economic conditions, labor market dynamics, and productivity levels. Historical data suggests weak variation, with little change year-on-year and a stable 5-year CAGR.
Future trends to watch include potential convergence in labor costs influenced by economic integration, labor policies, and technological advancements. Furthermore, shifts in global starch demand and sustainable production practices may impact both employment costs and industry structure across different European countries.
