In 2023, a total of 151,004 multinational enterprise groups operated in the European Union (EU) and the countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), providing jobs for 49 million people. These groups represented 29.3% of the workforce in the region’s business economy, covering key sectors such as industry, construction, and services.
The data, provided by Eurostat and based on the EuroGroups registry, offer a clear insight into the structure of multinational companies in this area. Of all the multinationals present in the EU and EFTA, 63.7% were controlled from an EU country, while 9.5% were controlled from an EFTA member country. This means that together, these entities employ 82.9% of the total workforce of multinational groups in both regions.
On the other hand, the remaining 26.8% of the groups, which employ 17.1% of the workforce, were managed from countries outside the EU and EFTA. This scenario highlights the importance of multinationals in the European economy and their crucial role in job creation.
Regarding the distribution of control of multinational companies in the EU and EFTA, Germany stands out as the leader with 15,484 groups, accounting for 10.3% of the total. This is followed by the Netherlands, with 13,372 groups (8.9%), and Switzerland, which controls 10,897 groups (7.2%). On the global stage, the United Kingdom stands out with 13,959 groups, followed by the United States and China, which have 8,288 and 2,621 groups, respectively.
This data not only reveals the concentration of business control within Europe but also the significant influence of foreign powers on the region’s business landscape.
