Turnover and staff numbers in the microtechnology industry keep rising

In the microtechnology industry, the positive economic development of recent years continues: the majority of European companies have raised turnover and staff in 2018 and expect a further increase throughout the next few years.

More than 80 percent of European microtechnology companies expect sales to increase over the next three years, two-thirds of companies plan to hire new employees over the same period, and more than 60 percent of companies plan to increase their export share in the medium term. Expectations are on a similar level as in previous years, merely projections of staff development are slightly less euphoric than they were around the same time in the past two years.
