This short study that Ecologic Institute produced for the Greens in the European Parliament, examines the competitiveness of European Eco-Industries. The key finding is that Eco-Industries have been a source of economic growth, particularly at times when other parts of the economy contracted. The short study is available for download.

Numerous patent applications and highly innovative

And unlike other sectors, European companies were able to defend their position in the growing global market for low-carbon environmental goods and services. One reason for this is that eco-industries are also a highly innovative part of the economy, with patent applications for environmental technologies growing at a much higher rate than overall patent applications.

Eco-industries - strongest economy sector

One main conclusion of the study is that eco-industries have outperformed the broader economy - almost everywhere and almost all of the time. European eco-industries in particular have been a source of both continuous growth and of stability: they have continued to grow in a difficult economic climate, when other sectors of the economy contracted massively. Also, European manufacturers of low-carbon environmental goods and services were able to defend their strong market position in a growing global market, in contrast to many other sectors where European manufacturers have been losing ground.

Euroean technological leadership (?)

One reason for this is that eco-industries are a highly innovative part of the economy: patent applications in this sector have increased markedly (particularly after 2005), far outstripping overall patenting activity. Patent applications are a difficult metric, particularly for international comparisosn. But acknowledging this caveat, if one interprets patent application as an indication of technological leadership, a mixed picture emerges: while the EU as a whole accounts for a majority of existing patents in most environmental technologies, the growth rates of new patent applications are higher for China - and partly the US - in a number of technology domains. Europe, therefore, should be careful not to become complacent in its technological leadership.
