In 2023, Germany led European labor costs in chemical and pharmaceutical products at 39.84 billion Euros, followed by France at 14.18 billion. Comparing year-on-year variations, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia experienced the highest growth rates at over 2%, while Lithuania and Luxembourg showed the fastest compounded annual growth rates over five years.
