CONTRIBUTION OF BUSINESSES THAT EXPORT
Depending on the measure selected, businesses that do not export accounted for between 37% and 87% of activity at the total manufacturing level in 2005-06. The percentage contribution of non-exporting businesses was greatest, across all variables, in Printing, publishing, and recorded media, Other manufacturing and Non-metallic mineral product manufacturing.
Petroleum, coal, chemical and associated product manufacturing was the industry in which businesses which export up to and including 50% of their sales of goods produced made the greatest contribution to IVA, employment and wages and salaries, while the highest contribution of such businesses to sales and service income was made by Wood and paper product manufacturing.
At the total manufacturing level, businesses which exported more than 50% of their sales of goods produced tend to contribute a higher proportion to sales and service income and industry value added than to employment and wages and salaries. This pattern differs among individual industries.
