According to Statistics Finland, enterprises' profitability weakened measured by operating margin in all main industries, particularly in service industries and in construction. Profitability decreased most in service industries (TOL H to S excl. K), where the operating margin percentage went down from 13.5 to 10.7 per cent. The operating margin percentage of construction (TOL F) fell from 6.2 to 4.4 per cent. In manufacturing (TOL B to E) and trade (TOL G), profitability remained almost on level with the previous year, as the operating margin percentage fell by close on half a percentage point.

Key selections

  • Measured by operating margin, profitability weakened most in service industries (TOL H to S) in 2022.
  • The development of enterprises was particularly affected by the decline of the coronavirus, Russia's attack on Ukraine, inflation and risen interest rates.
  • The figures in the release are based on enterprise unit level data from which items between legal units belonging to the enterprise unit have been removed.
  • Figures based on legal units can be found in their own database tables.
