Energy Industry Analysis The purpose of this analysis of Danish energy technologies is to document the significance of Danish energy industries for the economy and employment situation, as well as the distribution of Danish energy technologies on the global market. Energy technologies and equipment refer to all goods used for the extraction, processing, and production of energy. The Danish Energy Agency, the Danish Energy Industries Federation under the Confederation of Danish Industries (DI), and the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority collaborate on updating and revising the analysis. During the fall and winter of 2009/2010 the data basis of the analysis has undergone a thorough revision among others due to Statistics Denmark’s change from DB03 to DB07. The revised data is used in the entire analysis in order to avoid a break in data continuity. In general, sales figures from Danish energy technology companies based abroad have not been included in the analysis. Moreover, Danish consultancy services, which are often linked to exports of energy technology from Denmark, have not been included. The analysis is based on an analysis of data from official sources (Statistics Denmark and Eurostat) and is regularly updated. 2009 April 2010
Total exports of energy technologies and equipment From 2008 to 2009, exports of energy technologies and equipment decreased by 11.8 %. Other Danish goods exports declined by 16.2 %. 2009, Denmark exported energy technologies and equipment at a value of DKK 58 billion, corresponding to 11.6 % of total Danish goods exports. DKK 58 billion DKK 440 billion
Energy technology exports’ share of total Danish goods exports Exports of energy technologies and equipment account for a larger and larger share of total Danish goods exports. 2009 energy technologies accounted for 11.6 %, which is a slight increase from 2008. 2008 the share was 11.1 %. In spite of a general fall in exports of Danish goods, the share of energy technologies exports has increased from 2008 to 2009. In addition, energy technologies’ export share has almost doubled from 2000 to 2009.
Exports of energyproducts 2009, energy technologies and equipment accounted for app. 2/3 (62 %) of total Danish exports of energy products. Oil and gas exports accounted for 35 % and exports of other energy products 3 %. All three product categories had declining export rates from 2008 to 2009. Exports of energy technologies and equipment decreased by 11.8 %, oil and gas by 32.7 % and finally exports of other energy products decreased by 40 %. Note 1: The category ”Other” includes electricity and by-products
Exports of energy technologies and equipment from Denmark and EU15 The effects of the international financial crisis seem to have had a less severe impact on the Danish exports of energy technologies and equipment than on other EU15 countries’ exports. From 2008 to 2009, EU15’s total exports of energy technologies dropped by 18.8 %. By comparison, Danish energy technologies exports decreased by 11.8 %.
When looking at the share of energy technologies relative to the individual country's overall goods exports in 2009, Denmark was once again the greatest exporter of energy technologies and equipment compared to the other EU15 countries. Denmark is therefore still holding a leading position followed by Italy, Finland and Sweden. 2008, it was Italy, Germany and Austria. Despite the international crisis, all four countries at the top have seen their share of energy technologies exports relative to the overall goods exports increase from 2008 to 2009. The EU15 average shows no change in the same period. The share of energy technologies exports from EU15 countries
The ten largest export markets for Danish energy technologies Germany continues to be the largest export market for Danish energy technologies In spite of a decrease in exports of 23.5 %, Germany continues to be the largest importer of Danish energy technologies. Danish companies exported energy technology and equipment to the German market at a value of DKK 8.8 billion in 2009, which constitutes 15 % of total Danish energy technologies exports. USA , UK and Sweden continue to be the second, third and forth most important markets for Danish exports of energy technologies and equipment. However, energy technologies exports to the US, UK and Sweden have in total dropped by 8.6 % from 2008 to 2009, and had in 2009 a value of DKK 17.1 billion. As a new development, Singapore now features on the list of the ten largest export markets. However, Canada no longer holds the rank as no. 10 on the list.
Exports of energy technologies and equipment by groups of countries 2009, 2/3 of Danish exports of energy technologies and equipment, corresponding to a value of DKK 38 billion, went to countries within the EU27. The second largest market was North America. Exports to EU27 declined by 4.3 % from 2008 to 2009. Similarly, exports to North America and the BRICs dropped by 27.3 % and 17.8 % respectively. In contrast, energy technology exports to Southeast Asia and the Middle East saw positive growth rates. Note 1: The BRICs refer to Brazil, Russia, India and China
Danish exports to Europe (EU27) The European market is of great significance to Danish exports of energy technologies and equipment. 2009, 65.6 % of the energy technologies exports were imported by countries within EU27. 2008, it was 60.4 %. In spite of the fact that the European market is becoming more and more important to Danish exports of energy technologies and equipment, exports decreased by 4.3 % from 2008 to 2009. Other Danish goods exports declined by 8.5 %.
Danish exports to North America From 2008 to 2009, exports of energy technologies and equipment dropped by 27.2 %, which corresponds to exports of a value of DKK 7.5 billion in 2009. By comparison, the export value was DKK 10.4 billion in 2008. Other Danish goods exports only decreased by 0.8 %. This development differentiats itself from the overall picture, where other Danish goods exports are more influenced by the international crisis than exports of energy technologies and equipment. 2009, the North American market recieved 13 % of Danish energy technologies and equipment exports. 2008 it was 15.7 %.
Trends in turnover in energy technology industries and in industry overall From 2006 to 2007, the turnover of Danish energy technology industries saw an increase of 22.7 %. This growth is significantly larger than the increase in turnover of the total Danish industry, where turnover grew by 7.7 %. 2007, turnover in the Danish energy technology industries constituted 12.3 % of total turnover in Danish industry overall. Since 2000, turnover in the energy technology industries has increased by 84.1 %. The total industry’s growth was 32.6 %. Turnover in the energy technology industries 2007: DKK 80.8 billion Total industry turnover 2007: DKK 658.8 billion Note 1: The basis year 2000 was chosen in order to maintain data continuity through the time series, as Statistics Denmark is now using DB07. For this part of the analysis, 2007 is the most recently updated year. Note 2: The figures for turnover, added value and employment are based on company statistics from Statistics Denmark. Data from these statistics are published once every year in the autumn. However, figures from the company statistics are around two years behind the current year.
Trends in the number of fulltime employees in energy technology industries and in industry overall After decreasing employment rates in both the energy technology industries and the total industry, the fulltime employment in energy technology industries increased by 17.1 % from 2005 to 2007. During the same period fulltime employment went up by 3.3 % in the total industry. Fulltime employees in energy technology industries 2007: 41,306 Fulltime employees in the total industry 2007: 348,623 Note 1: The basis year 2000 was chosen in order to maintain data continuity through the time series, as Statistics Denmark is now using DB07. For this part of the analysis, 2007 is the most recently updated year.
Trends in added value for energy technology industries and industry overall After a period characterized by increases and decreases in the added value for energy technology industries there has been a significant growth of 42.4 % from 2005 to 2007. By comparison, the industry in total had a 12.8 % growth. However, contrary to the energy technology industries the industry in total has had growth in the entire period from 2000 to 2007. Added value in energy technology industries 2007: DKK 23.5 billion Added value in the total industry 2007: DKK 207.2 billion Note 1: The basis year 2000 was chosen in order to maintain data continuity through the time series, as Statistics Denmark is now using DB07. For this part of the analysis, 2007 is the most recently updated year. Note 2: The added value is measured as the growth in value in DKK from processing a product in the various stages of production.
Trends in added value per fulltime employee in energy technology industries and in industry overall From 2003 to 2007 the added value per fulltime employee in energy technology industries increased by 35.4 % following a fall from 2002 to 2003. This increase includes a growth of 17.1 % from 2005 to 2006. In the industry in total the growth was 32.8 % in the period from 2000 to 2007. By comparison, the energy technology industries had a 41.8 % growth. As a consequence, the added value per fulltime employee in the energy technology industries is leveling with added value per fulltime employee in industry overall. Addedvalue per fulltime employee in the total industry 2007: DKK 594,310 Added value per fulltime employee in energy technology industries 2007: DKK 570,111
