The production volumes of business services in Belgium have shown a steady rise from 2013 to 2019, with occasional fluctuations, particularly in 2020 when there was a significant drop due to external factors. After a strong rebound in 2021, the growth rate stabilized. In 2023, the production volume stood at 463.71 billion Euros, showing a modest 1.32% year-on-year increase.
