European Commission reports on EU manufacturing output and industrial job losses
What happened
A report by the European Commission found that the decline in manufacturing's share of total EU output was exaggerated when inflation was accounted for, as high-tech manufacturing was increasing in real terms. However, the Commission noted that the EU has been losing global market share in areas such as textiles and electronics. Over the last two years, the EU has lost an average of 27,000 manufacturing jobs each month.

Why it matters
The report highlights that Europe is experiencing an uneven industrial retreat, driven by both low-cost domestic and foreign competition. The Commission also noted that China currently has more unicorns than Europe, with European unicorns often concentrated in services, wellness, or fintech sectors.
