2021. was an exceptionally challenging year for enterprises, citizens, and governments, both globally and in Estonia. ­Despite progress in vaccination, the continued and dynamic COVID-19 pandemic consumed the attention and resources of our government. The unexpectedly rapid global recovery revealed bottlenecks in global supply chains while simultaneously stoking the demand for energy. Towards the end of the year, ­energy price shocks began to dominate the policy agenda. These challenges continued to set the tone in early 2022. Despite these headwinds, Estonia’s economy has fared remarkably well. The rebound in our GDP has been one of the strongest in Europe, taking our GDP well above pre-crisis levels. During 2021, our unemployment rate fell rapidly well below the EU average. In this sense, we have used the crisis to achieve even better outcomes than was expected a few years ago. This is also visible in our foreign trade. In the 3rd quarter of 2021, our real exports of goods and services increased by 18 percent! Estonia’s ­resulting gain in global market share is an indication of the underlying competitiveness of our economy. This recovery has also been broad-based, with most sectors showing strong performance, led by our legendary i­nformation and communications sector. Our resilience in the face of simultaneous and serious shocks reflects the fundamental underlying strengths of Estonia’s economy. This has several


dimensions. First, our integration into the very dynamic Nordic-Baltic ­region provides both resilience and strong growth potential. Second, Estonia benefits from the high flexibility which comes from a friendly business environment, in which it is easy to establish and run companies, pay taxes, and hire workers. My government has prioritized further improvement in this environment through a range of new initiatives. Third, Estonia’s high level of digitalization proved a lifesaver in the crisis. This maintained the access of firms and citizens to our high-quality public services. It also facilitated a smooth shift towards electronic forms of commerce, helping sustain economic activity. We have made further strengthening of our digital infrastructure and services a key government priority in the coming years. Finally, business surveys have regularly shown strong satisfaction with the quality of our physical and digital infrastructure. Over the past decades, Estonia’s public sector has invested a higher share of GDP than any other EU country. Our new budget framework plans further increases, with a particular focus on facilitating the green and digital transformations. Estonia is thankful to all enterprises which already do business here, and thus contribute to our economy and society. We welcome others to follow their example and do the same.

Kaja Kallas Prime Minister of Estonia

A tiny country with countless opportunities located where east meets west Estonia, one of the three Baltic countries located on the shores of the Baltic Sea, is small in area and population. Territory-wise, the country is less than a tenth the size of Spain but bigger than both the Netherlands and Denmark. As for Estonia’s population, it is just 1.3 million.

History Estonians are a proud nation – how could it be otherwise – we have managed to preserve our nation and language over the centuries despite foreign conquerors – the Danes, the Swedes, the Germans, and the Russians. Estonia became an independent country in 1918, but its independence was temporary as in 1940, our small country was occupied by the Soviet Union. In 1991, Estonia was able to restore its independence – not with weapons, but with singing. A Singing Revolution is the name given to public and political events that began at the end of 1980s and lead to the restoration of Estonia’s independence.

Economy Since 2004, Estonia has been the member of the European Union and NATO. The currency of the Republic is the Euro. Estonia has an open contemporary economy where exports play a crucial role. Estonia’s main export partners are Finland, Sweden, Latvia, and Germany. Estonia is a well-known e-country. State institutions and private enterprises use numerous ICT possibilities in offering their services, so we can say bureaucracy on paper belongs to the past. For Estonians, the digital signing of documents, the sending and receiving of electronic invoices (yes, this does not mean PDF-invoices sent by e-mail, but machine-readable invoices) and online voting have become routine activities. Estonia also has the world’s first e-government – meaning that materials for meetings and other necessary documents are electronic. All this helps save paper and the environment. E-Estonia is also accessible to foreigners. A resident of another country may become an e-resident of Estonia, ensuring safe access to the e-services offered by the Republic of Estonia and the private sector. For example, the founding of a company, the payment of taxes, etc. is super easy for any e-resident with a digital ID-card. There are over 80,000 e-residents in Estonia from over 170 countries. They have established over 16,500 companies. Among e-residents of Estonia are USA venture capitalist Ben Horowitz, and the previous Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel.

Culture Estonians truly are the singing nation; the Song and Dance Celebrations are signature events that unify the whole country. 2019 marked the 150th anniversary of the Song and Dance Celebration, with 32,000 singers coming together. The event attracted so many spectators that for the first time in history, the organisers had to limit ticket sales to ensure the safety of the people gathered at the Song Festival Grounds. The tradition of the Estonian Song and Dance Celebration has also been submitted to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Estonians generally speak two languages and according to the latest surveys, Estonians are among the best English speakers in Europe. Our native language – Estonian – sounds ethereal and magical to many foreigners.

Nature The nature in Estonia is unique – with wetlands, bogs, thousands of islands, lakes, and rich biodiversity. In addition, Estonia is one of the less populated countries in Europe – this leaves a lot of space for its forests, which cover almost half of the country’s territory. The air in Estonia has been ranked as some of the purest in the world. Due to all this, Estonia can be seen as an incredible and mystical country. Food produced in Estonia is clean as well – almost one-fourth of agricultural land where crops are grown and animals are grazed is organic. Another noteworthy fact is that Estonia uses fewer pesticides than most European countries. Therefore, it is no wonder that according to the monitoring results of the European Food Safety Authority, Estonian food is one of the cleanest in the world.

A small but fast-growing and flexible economy After regaining its independence in 1991, Estonia made considerable development leaps by transforming itself from a socialist command economy into a democratic market economy that values a fair business environment, innovation, e-solutions and thin bureaucracy. Estonia’s 8th place ranking in the Index of Economic Freedom in 2021 (which listed 184 countries) has proved that these are not merely beautiful words. This substantiates Estonia’s business environment as a simple, convenient, and transparent place of doing business. The rapid economic growth of Estonia, in recent decades, has often exceeded the European Union average. Estonia’s economic growth is main­­ly influenced by foreign trade, making it highly vulnerable to global economic changes. In 2020, the value of Estonia’s GDP, in current prices, was 27 billion Euros. According to Eesti Pank, GDP grew by just over 8% to 30.6 billion euros in 2021. Estonia’s public finances are in a good state, as shown by its smallest public sector debt in Europe (19% in 2020). In 2004, Estonia joined the European Union. Estonia is also a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), OECD, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and other international organisations.

Business environment Estonia’s business environment can easily be described under three phrases: simple, fast, and safe. Why is that? First, our legislation is entrepreneur-friendly. This does not mean that there is no room for improvement. However, the Estonian business environment can certainly not be accused of excess bureaucracy or not being transparent. For years, business reporting has been carried out using e-solutions. The implementation of cross-using data is currently underway. Suppose a company forwards data to a national authority. In that case, there is no need to forward the same data to another national authority, as the institutions will communicate with each other. Secondly, our tax system is simple and has minimal specifications. The system’s unique feature of enterprises not having to pay income tax if they do not withdraw profit encourages investments. The employment market in Estonia is efficient, and employment relations are flexible. Thirdly, our people; Estonian residents are well educated and speak fluent English, Russian, and many other languages. The business culture is one of punctuality, where things are done with precision. Estonians some­ times make jokes that they are even more punctual than the Germans. We value quality and we keep our promises. Decisions are made fast and if you need advice about something, we say the right person is only three phone calls away – as the population of Estonia is only 1.3 million, there is always someone who knows someone who is just the right person to help. Fourthly, e-solutions and e-society. Estonia is quite unique in its digital capabilities, and Estonians are among the most willing users of e-services in the world. We have also exported our experience in developing e-government and building e-services to dozens of interested countries. Estonia’s public sector is digital, which saves tons of paper and, most importantly – time. It’s worth mentioning that Estonia is the first country in the world to implement e-voting in a nationwide election. Estonian e-voting is internet-based and not dependent on location: if you have the option to use an ID-card or mobile-ID, you are ready to vote. We have been able to cast votes electronically since 2005 (local elections) – while the percentage of e-voters was less than 2% at the time, the percentage of e-voters in the 2019 Parliament elections was 43.8% and should account for the majority of the votes cast in the coming years. But that’s not all! We have been signing documents digitally for 20 years; a company can be established online in 5 minutes, with its tax declarations and payments made via e-solutions. Entrepreneurs who are not Estonian citizens can also enjoy these benefits once they have applied for the Estonian e-residency.

E-residency Estonia is the first country in the world to offer e-residency. The program was launched in December 2014 to give foreigners a chance to become Estonian e-residents and use our e-services. To this day, Estonia has over 80,000 e-residents who have founded over 16,500 companies. What are the key opportunities for e-residents? E-residents are issued a digital ID-card that gives them access to all the national e-services. For example, you can establish a company online, give digital signatures, do online banking transactions, file tax declarations or your company’s fiscal annual report online, and so forth. In conclusion, e-residency allows to do business conveniently from anywhere in the world.

Export and import Estonia has a population of only 1.3 million, which makes for a tiny internal market. Therefore, it makes sense that the export of products and services represents almost three-quarters of Estonia’s GDP. The lion’s share of total exports is accounted for by the industrial sector. Around 70% of the goods produced in Estonia are exported to Europe. Our main export partners are our neighbouring countries like Finland, Sweden, and Latvia; and countries that are further away, such as Germany and the USA. Estonia’s biggest exports are electrical equipment (including high-tech products), mineral products, wood and wood products, machinery, and mechanical appliances. The biggest exports of services include transportation and storage services, and information and communication services. The sales of information and communication services doubled in 2014–2019. A majority of the countries that send their goods to Estonia are from Europe, accounting for over 70% of Estonian imports. In 2021, Estonia’s largest importers were Finland, Russia and Germany. The biggest import items are machinery and electrical equipment, mineral products, and vehicles. The biggest imported services are in the fields of transportation, storage, and manufacturing industries.

The Estonian chemical industry: unique in many ways


The history of the Estonian chemical industry dates back 130 years. Today, about 150 enterprises are active in the sector with an annual turnover of over 700 million euros. These companies produce construction and consumer chemicals as well as oil shale chemical products including shale oil. The smallest subsector of the industry is the pharmaceutical and ­cosmetics­industry. Estonia is also known for its unique and rare feature – it has one of the few factories, NPM Silmet, that produces rare earth metals outside China. The list of strengths of the Estonian chemical industry is long: the companies here are successful in niche markets and have unique knowledge and skills in the field of rare earth technologies as well as oil shale chemistry. We have considerable oil shale reserves in Eastern Estonia for the production of shale oil and fine chemicals. The lion’s share of the shale oil produced in Northern Estonia is exported. Shale oil by-products such as fine chemicals and phenolic products are used in the perfume and electronics industries, making the sale of these successful in foreign markets. Our good logistical location is essential for exporting companies. The sector is a good exporter with about 85% of all production going to foreign markets. The supporting factor for exports is the fact that several Estonian manufacturers belong to international groups. Belonging to a group leads to extensive exports within it.

Rare earth metals do not come just from China The global demand for rare earth metals is growing and the biggest supplier of these metals is China. However, one of the few factories producing rare earth metals outside China is located in Estonia. NPM Silmet, which has been operating in Sillamäe, Northern Estonia for decades, accounts for several percent of the world’s rare earth metal production. Niobium and tantalum make up nearly half of Silmet’s metal production.

The biggest shale oil factory in the world is the Viru Keemia Grupp and one of the few rare earth metal producers outside China is NPM Silmet.

Estonia is the world’s third-largest producer of one-component polyurethane foams.

From shale oil to construction chemistry Large, established companies operate in the oil shale chemistry sector. For example, the Viru Keemia Grupp which produces shale oil and phenols, the liquid fuel producer Eesti Energia Õlitööstus, and the shale oil producer Kiviõli Keemiatööstus. The list of large and important players also includes Eastman Specialties, part of the Eastman Group (USA), which produces benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, and plasticisers. The largest manufacturers of construction chemistry (insulation foams, sealants, and construction adhesives) are Henkel Makroflex and Krimelte. Akzo Nobel Baltics, Tikkurila and Eskaro are the three largest manufacturers of paints, varnishes, and other finishing materials.

700

million euros is the annual turnover of the chemical industry.

A RAPIDLY GROWING COSMETICS INDUSTRY Estonia has a long tradition of manufacturing consumer chemicals and cosmetics. The first chemical manufacturer, the Mayer plant, founded in the 1880s, today mainly produces household chemicals marketed in the Baltics and Scandinavia. The oldest cosmetics company in Estonia is Orto, founded in 1932, which currently produces mainly household cleaning products and cosmetics for the domestic market. As for cosmetics, the use of natural raw materials is a visible trend in both Orto’s history and companies established today. Smaller producers of natural cosmetics such as Joik, Lumi, Turbliss and others are worth mentioning here. Chemi-Pharm, a company with a 25-year history, is one of the most prominent and largest companies in the consumer chemicals and cosmetics sector, exporting disinfectants and cosmetics under the D’Difference brand to more than twenty countries. A successful exporter is also Eurobio Lab whose Natura Siberica, Natura Estonica and many other brands of cosmetics and household cleaners have found their way to stores in nearly 70 countries.

The construction sector: creating comfortable living environments


Private houses and apartment buildings, office buildings and warehouses, roads and bridges – today, these are all built faster than ever before, made possible due to the developments in the construction industry. The activity of Estonian construction companies forms approximately 6% of the country’s gross domestic product. This combined with the real estate sector accounts for approximately 16% of the GDP. Construction companies employ 60,000 people – a little less than 1/10th of all employees in Estonia. As in other sectors, most companies in the construction sector are SMEs – 90% of companies employ from one to nine people. The larger international companies are Nordecon AS, Merko Ehitus Eesti AS, and the Finnish group YIT. The largest companies for road and bridge construction are Tallinna Teede AS, TREF AS and TREV-2 Grupp AS. Estonian construction companies build both at home and abroad for an average of 3–3,6 billion euros a year. Construction business targets the domestic market, although some services are exported; in recent years, the share of total turnover from exports has been about 5–6%. The lion’s share of export activities targets nearby markets, mainly Finland (more than 60%). However, some exports go to Sweden, Norway, Latvia and Lithuania. The productivity of the Estonian construction sector has been rapidly increasing in recent years but is still below the European average. An important keyword in the industry is digitalisation. Digitalisation is a priority for both the government of Estonia and the construction sector. The organisation of electronic procurement is worth highlighting; the public procurement process is transparent and managed through an e-procurement platform. The electronic procurement system has also reduced administrative burdens and costs. As the profit of construction companies comes mostly from the domestic market, the general economic development of the country affects the progress of the construction sector. While the total volume of the construction market reached its highest level in a decade before the COVID19 crisis, the uncertainty caused by the pandemic reduced construction volumes both at home and abroad. However, the decline was temporary; 2021’s volumes exceed those of 2019 as the construction of living spaces and the amount of renovation work increases. The growth in construction volumes was also supported by the construction of facilities.

Electronics – the core of modern life


The Estonian electronics industry is considered to have begun with the telephone factory established in 1907. Now, more than a hundred years later, the electronics industry is still evolving at a youthful pace and is considered one of the most promising fields. Today, no industry or sector of the economy can do without electronics. The green transition is based on electronics and the electronics industry is creating solutions to automate and digitise production. These factors have made the industry one of the most important sectors in the economy. In Estonia, the total turnover of the sector reaches 2 billion euros a year and more than 12,000 people, from skilled workers to top specialists, work hard for it. In addition, the electronics industry creates a large number of indirect jobs in other industrial, logistics and wholesale sectors. Although most companies in the electronics industry are located in and around Tallinn, the sector is also an important employer outside Harju County. Large factories are located in Saaremaa, Pärnu, Elva and Ida-Virumaa, being important employers in these areas.

Continued success into the future In addition to the above, the Estonian electronics sector is seen as having great growth potential. The demand for smart products, digital solutions and environmentally friendly technologies is growing as all these solutions use electronics. Moreover, the worldwide spread of 5G supports the demand for network equipment and IoT components. The Estonian electronics industry should also benefit from the trend that has accelerated production from China to Europe as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the world and made supply chains more local. At the same time, product batches have become smaller but their delivery is more frequent. Estonian companies have enough flexibility and outsourcing experience to meet these needs.

Large investments, wide product range More than 250 companies are operating in the electronics industry. Many larger companies are production units or service providers with international capital. For example, international groups like ABB, Ericsson, Enics, Ensto Ensek, Glamox, Eolane, Incap and others operate here. Foreign owners have also invested significant sums in Estonian production units, amounting to nearly 100 million euros a year. Investments have also increased productivity indicators year on year. Gross productivity, labour cost productivity and productivity per employee have also increased. The list of products in the sector is extensive. It mainly manufactures communications network equipment, industrial electronics, automotive electronics and wiring harnesses, technology for renewable energy solutions, medical technology, railway equipment, and aerospace and defence industry equipment and components. The sector is also characterised by a large share of production services. This means that the production of products and related activities are outsourced. At the same time, besides outsourcing, production partnerships where everyone develops key skills is also offered. There are also many companies in the electronics industry in Estonia that are moving towards increasing high added-value. In addition to production, participation in product development is also offered. Many companies are also able to offer product software, testing, component purchasing, logistics services, after-sales service, and more. Thus, a large portion of a product’s lifecycle is covered. As electronics is a key component in many products, it enables the electronics industry to create collaborative clusters with many other industries. Cooperation with the machine, plastics and other industries enables the creation of value-added complete solutions within the entire chain. With the participation of the Estonian electronics industry, it is easy to create clusters between companies, educational and research institutions and other partners.

Main export markets: USA and Finland Most of the electronics industry’s production is exported. The largest target market has become the USA as telecommunications companies there are rapidly building 5G networks. The equipment for this is manufactured in Estonia among other countries. Finland is another important export partner. If the production of electrical equipment is added to the electronics industry, the portfolio of product groups exported from Estonia to Finland broadens significantly. Transformers, power distribution equipment, parts for electric motors and generators, and cables are sent to Finland. Sweden, Russia and Germany. These are also worth mentioning as the most important destinations for the electronics industry. Almost 95% of computers and electronic and optical equipment sales are exported, and almost 85% of the production of electrical equipment is exported.

Clean, fresh, and delicious Estonian food


Delicious and high-quality food start with carefully selected good ingredients. There is no shortage of high-quality raw materials in Estonia as the mild climate, clean nature, lush pastures, and good soil have created excellent opportunities for agricultural development. According to the World Bank, Estonia is one of the top countries in the world in terms of agricultural land per capita and the existence of sufficient clean water in Estonia is self-evident. Attention is also paid to environmental-friendliness; organic farming is increasingly practised year after year. 22% of all arable land in Estonia is organic – more than twice as much as elsewhere in Europe. Food and drink production cannot overcome the challenges posed by climate change, which will soon make farming impossible in some parts of the world. On the other hand, Estonia and our neighbours may be one of the few areas where the conditions for agricultural production will improve over time. Thus, both now and in the future, the Estonian food and beverage industry has access to high-quality domestic raw materials and the real and excellent taste of food and beverages is appreciated not only by Estonians but also residents of other countries.

Small producers and international groups Estonian food and beverage production is characterised by three keywords: tradition, modern production methods, and innovation. The production volume of the local food and beverage industry is over 2 billion euros, which accounts for 16% of all Estonian industrial production. This means that food and drink production is an important industry with more than 700 companies. Three-quarters of these are micro-enterprises with less than ten employees but international groups are also represented in Estonia. Let me list just a few. For example, the Norwegian Orkla owns Kalev, one of the oldest confectionery producers in Estonia as well as the Põltsamaa Felix juice and canning factory with its long history. The Finnish company HKScan owns HKScan Estonia, which is Estonia’s largest food industry company, raising both pigs and chickens and also operating a slaughterhouse and meat industry. The Danish beer giant Carlsberg is represented in Estonia with its two-hundred-year history through the Saku Brewery.

billion euros is the production volume of the food and beverage industry.

Milk and meat are the most important articles of merchandise For years, the dairy industry has provided the largest share of the Estonian food industry’s production; around 23% of the total production of the food and beverage industry, and about a quarter of the dairy industry’s production is exported. It is worth noting that in terms of milk production per cow, Estonia has the highest milk production in the European Union. The steady increase in milk production has been made possible by smart investments in production and improvements in animal welfare, livestock health, and feeding. In addition to an impressively large production – just over 10,000 kg of milk per year per cow – Estonian milk is also of very good quality. This allows both the export of raw milk and the production and export of excellent cheeses, butter, curds. and other dairy products. The meat industry is the second largest in terms of production volume, accounting for one-fifth of the total production of the food and beverage industry. Pork is the most widely produced meat in Estonia, followed by poultry and beef. The beverage industry accounted for 13% of the food industry’s sales revenue.

Estonian food in more than a hundred countries About a third of the production of the food and beverage industry in Estonia is exported. Milk production has the largest share in exports (almost 20%), of which raw milk, cheese, and curd take the first place. Estonian bread products, beer, and fish and fish products are also popular export items. Although food and beverages made in Estonia have found their way to more than a hundred countries, it goes without saying that 70% of the export volume still goes to the countries of the European Union. The majority of food and drink items goes to our neighbouring countries: Latvia Finland, Lithuania, and Sweden. Estonian companies also export food to distant countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, China, and elsewhere. Considering that consumers in both Europe and more distant countries are paying increasing attention to the naturalness of food and compliance with environmental requirements associated with production, the export prospects of the Estonian food and beverage industry are very good.

ICT sector in top form


Estonia has a reputation of being a successful e-country with an ICT sector in top form. The Coronavirus crisis has brought about new and increasing business opportunities: automation, digitalisation and virtual products/ services. The technology field is becoming increasingly important, with more start-ups being created. The information and communications sector is extensive and includes publishing, feature films, sound recordings, radio and TV programmes, electronic communications, information technology, wholesale of information and communication appliances, etc. Other important fields are cloud services, smart devices, smart internet (sensors, Internet of Things, smart devices and networks), and services. Programming companies make up more than half of this field’s turnover, forming 60% of the sector. The largest are Bolt Operations, Pipedrive, Playtech Estonia, Helmes and Nortal. The second-largest sector concerning turnover is telecommunication enterprises, earning 1/3 of the total turnover. The largest in this field are Telia Eesti, Tele2 Eesti and Elisa Eesti.

The rise of technology companies For Estonia, the information and communications technology (ICT) sector, with almost 7000 companies, has been an important leader in economic growth. This sector also includes a fast-developing sub-sector; Estonia has an increasing number of establishing the technology companies. The annual growth of start-up companies in Estonia has been 20–30%, whether measuring revenue, the number of employees or the amount invested. If this growth of approximately 25% a year continues, more than 50,000 people will be employed in the technology sector in Estonia by 2030. That is 8% of the total number of employees in Estonia. If the growth continues with the same efficiency, the technology sector would contribute 10 billion euros a year to the Estonian economy -which would be an impressive 30% of Estonia’s GDP.

The success story of export continues The success story of the Estonian ICT sector’s exports began in 2016. Since then, the sales of services in foreign markets has been stably growing by 18% a year. Revenue from telecommunications services has also been going slightly upward. In conclusion, the rapid development of the sector has made information and communications the fourth largest sector in Estonia. In terms of volume, it surpasses the transport, warehousing and construction sectors. At the moment, the ICT sector forms more than half of the additional value created by the traditional manufacturing and processing industry.

THE ESTONIAN ICT SECTOR IN NUMBERS • • • •

The share of the number of people employed in business: 5.8%. The added value created in business: over 8%. The share of total taxes paid by Estonian enterprises: 6.6%. Export shares: 10.1%.

Rise of internet services The ICT sector is the one field the coronavirus crisis had a positive effect on. The restrictions related to the virus forced people to find new solutions in all areas of life. In many cases, virtual work made it possible to continue with business. This brought about growth in the sector as new business opportunities emerged. Many enterprises started working remotely, increasing the sales of computers. The need for conference calls emerged, secure access had to be created for systems, e-commerce solutions had to be developed and the availability of internet with adequate speed had to be provided. ICT companies partnered up with aviation, e-commerce, transport and logistics, and manufacturing companies to develop new solutions. Even after the end of the coronavirus pandemic, it can be expected that our former way of life will no longer fully re-emerge and the volume of ICT developments will continue to grow. The changes in the way of life caused by the coronavirus pandemic also had a positive effect on mobile and telecommunications companies. The crisis led to the more active use of home offices. According to Statistics Estonia, the number of people working from home during the waves of the virus increased to 1/3 of all working people. This brought about a significant increase in internet use. In 2020, for example, call volumes on Telia’s mobile network increased by 16% and the use of mobile internet increased by 32%. On some days, the data consumption on Elisa’s cable network increased by 50%. The use of cloud services has increased remarkably in recent years. While in 2019, only one in ten companies had purchased cloud services, in 2020, 57% of companies used them. These services are comprised of main­ly financial or accounting software that is purchased as a cloud ­service, or office software and e-mail services. However, only 9% of companies deal with big data. Similarly, the use of robots is modest. According to a survey by Statistics Estonia, 3% of

With a strong grip: Estonia’s machine and metal industry


The machine and metal industry in Estonia has a long history and the importance of this sector is clearly reflected in its economic indicators. Specifically, the machine and metal industry employs almost 20,000 people, which is about 1/3 of those employed in the Estonian industrial sector over­ all. Added value and productivity indicators outperform other industries. The product range of the Estonian metal and machinery industry is wide. It ranges from metal packaging and containers to forest and construction machinery, as well as metal structures and elevators. The total annual turnover of the metal and machinery industry is 2.4 billion euros and 2/3 of the production is exported. However, the export volume of the machine and metal industry differs by economic activity – the machine industry is more export-oriented (about 3/4 of the turnover) than the metal industry, for which foreign and domestic markets are equally important. The machinery industry has the largest share of exports in motor vehicle and trailer manufacturing (over 90% of production is exported). The Estonian metal and machinery industry is positively affected by the trend to bring production back to Europe caused by the corona pandemic, given that long supply chains are risky. In particular, Estonian companies have the opportunity to participate in the supply networks of European companies. At the same time, even closer supply chains in the metal and machinery industries will not avoid disruptions, which will increase the prices of production inputs and semi-finished and finished products. In addition to shortening supply chains, Estonia also has another advantage over China – local companies offer the opportunity to manufacture small series and tailor-made products. The third trend powering the machinery industry is digitalisation across all industrial sectors to increase production efficiency. The increase in the production of industrial robots due to digitalisation may bring new orders to the sector.

2,4

billion euros is the total annual turnover of the metal and machinery industry

A large-scale metal industry The Estonian metal industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries after the wood industry and the food industry. Nearly 1,500 companies manufacture machinery and equipment and process metal, employing about 14,000 people. The metal industry is concentrated in Tallinn and its vicinity (60% of employees) and Ida-Virumaa, Pärnumaa and Tartumaa (about 1/10 of the workforce). The largest companies are AS Metaprint, which manufactures aerosol containers, AS Estanc, which manufactures non-pressure tanks, LNG storarage tanks etc, Hanza Mechanics Tartu AS, AS Favor, AQ Lasertool OÜ process metal, and OÜ Marketex Offshore Constructions and AS AXIS Tech Estonia, which manufactures metal constructions. Exports of metal products increased despite the pandemic. Almost half of the metal industry’s production is sold to the Nordic countries. The biggest export market is Finland, which accounts for about 30% of exports.

Diverse machinery industry There are about 200 mainly small and medium-sized manufacturers of machinery and equipment in Estonia with a total of about 4,000 employees. It is a growing industry that manufactures technologies, equipment and services for all other industries and end-users. The machinery industry’s output is also exported across the Atlantic, but the biggest export market is Finland. The largest companies in the Estonian machinery industry are AS ­Hekotek, which manufactures wood processing equipment, and OÜ Palmse Mehaanikakoda and Oniar OÜ, which manufacture forestry trailers and log lifts, and AS Sami, etc., which manufactures construction hoists and forestry machinery. Larger companies are located in Tallinn and Harjumaa but the machinery industry is represented in almost every region of Estonia.

There is no gold nor silver…


The Estonian mining industry has a long history. The sector’s products have found their way into homes and offices in Estonia and across the world as building and heating materials. One of the industry’s products, peat soil, also finds its way into many gardens. A well-known Estonian song says: “there is no gold nor silver found in our country“. That is true – Estonian soil holds no gold or other precious metals. However, Estonia is rich in a number of essential minerals. Today, oil shale, peat, and natural construction materials such as sand, gravel, limestone, dolomite and clay are mined in Estonia. Other mineral resources are not mined like phosphorite, granite, graptolitic argillite, and iron ore. Estonia has mineral resources in an area that makes up more than 10% of the country’s total span. The annual turnover of the mining industry reaches nearly 400 million euros.

The oil shale industry is in the midst of changes The history of the Estonian oil shale industry dates back more than a hundred years. The oil shale industry plays a crucial role in energy production and as a direct and indirect employer. The oil shale mined in Ida-Virumaa is primarily used for electricity production. Moreover, it is also used as raw material by oil shale producers such as the state-owned energy producer Eesti Energia and the world’s biggest shale oil producer, Viru Keemia Grupp. The lion’s share of the shale oil produced in Northern Estonia is exported. The green transition is about to change the oil shale industry significantly. The first steps for this have already been taken. For example, the state-owned energy producer Eesti Energia plans to stop using oil shale for electricity production by 2030. By 2045, the company plans to stop the production of shale oil; factories will start producing polymers for the chemical industry from plastic waste and tires. Not only Eesti Energia but the whole oil shale industry is increasingly turning its face to chemical production and one way is to start recycling plastic waste into oil and gas.

Digital transition underground and on the ground Digitalisation has found its way into the everyday life of the Estonian mining industry. New information technology solutions and automation have led to the use of self-driving mining machines and drones. This means that more work is done on the ground as mining processes can now be managed from control panels at ground level.

400

million euros is the annual turnover of the mining industry.

PEAT FROM ESTONIA IS SOLD IN 120 COUNTRIES Estonia’s tradition of peat production and use dates back hundreds of years. Peat, a valuable mineral resource, covers more than a fifth of Estonia’s area. However, mining is only done in a small percentage of peatlands. Peat is used for both heating and horticulture, and it is also a valued absorbent in pollution responses. There are approximately 35 companies in Estonia that mine about 700,000–900,000 tonnes of peat a year. The annual turnover of the sector is 100 million euros, of which 90% makes up exports. Peat products manufactured in Estonia are sold in 120 countries all over the world. Although the export of peat reaches many different countries, Europe still accounts for 90-95% of exports. The largest countries for export are Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Among the more distant places where Estonian peat is exported are Mexico, China, the Middle East and Africa.

124


INTERESTING FACTS •

Considering the area of peatlands, ​​ Estonia ranks third in Europe after Finland and Sweden.

10% of global peat products are produced in Estonia.

Although there is both oil shale and phosphorite in Estonia, technological dolomite can be considered our most valuable mineral. The magnesium content of technological dolomite must not be less than 18%, but this percentage is more than 20 in Estonian dolomite. Estonian dolomite can be used to produce high-priced metallic magnesium on the world market, which is needed by the automotive and aircraft industries.

The Estonian plastics industry has a century-long history and its products are used in numerous fields. The local plastics industry supplies both domestic and foreign markets with various packaging, furniture, vehicle fittings, pipes, hoses, building components and much more, and the turnover of the sector is almost 500 million euros. About 60% of the products from the Estonian plastics industry are sold across the border, almost half of exports go to Sweden and Finland. A few hundred mainly small and medium-sized companies operate in the Estonian rubber and plastics industry. For the most part, these are processing companies for which the required raw materials are mainly imported from Europe or the Atlantic Ocean and, to a lesser extent, from developing countries. Among the larger manufacturing companies are Aquaphor International for water filters, Pipelife Eesti for plastic pipes, Estiko-Plastar for films and plastic packaging and Balteco, the largest bath manufacturer in Northern Europe. All the main plastic processing technologies are represented in E ­ stonia – injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, rotational moulding, vacuum moulding, machining, etc. 3D printing and 3D scanning of plastic parts are also used. Local companies are typically flexible as they can fulfil smaller batches and special orders. The plastics industry has steadily increased investments over the past five to six years, except during the difficult 2020. Investments have been made in production buildings, machinery, equipment and digitization. More­over, production has become more complex and tasks that require more labour are gradually being replaced by machinery.

500

million euros is the annual turnover of the plastics industry.

INTERESTING FACTS •

Hiiumaa, the second largest island in Estonia and a popular tourist destination, is also called a plastic island; there are almost ten plastic factories there and the plastics industry is the largest employer on the island.

Estonia also recycles plastics. For example, Dagöplast manufactures used plastic into plastic bags and Neular manufactures patio tables, noise barriers, flower pots and garden accessories. However, plastic bottles find their way into textile production through recycling – Wendre uses them to make mattresses, pillows, and other textile products.

The large-scale production of wood-based, fully recyclable plastic might soon become a possibility in Estonia. Tallinn University of Technology are working out how make plastics from wood residue, turning cellulose into bioplastic, and how to recycle it enviromentally friendly.

The green transition in the European Union and the need to reduce the environmental impact of the economy have not left the plastics industry untouched. Some important points here are creating the preconditions for reusing packaging and moving to a circular economy. According to the Estonian Plastics Industry Association, Estonia is one of the few countries in Europe where there are both the knowledge and technology for the chemical recycling of plastic packaging waste that has not yet been recycled. Extensive development in this area has been carried out, for example, by the state-owned company Eesti Energia, which has the necessary expertise to chemically process plastic waste as well as pyrolysis technology to produce plastic oil suitable for new raw materials.

The printing industry: a leader in the digital revolution


The history of the Estonian printing industry dates back 400 years – the first printing house in Estonia was established in 1631 in Tartu. The organisation of today’s printing houses has changed a lot; the new keyword is smart production as many activities have been automated and more digital printing equipment is used. Recycling and environmentally friendly production have become self-evident – many companies have FSC® and PEFC™ certificates and many own European and Scandinavian eco-labels. There are about 450 active enterprises in the printing sector, among them, 360 printing houses and over 60 companies that produce paper, packages and labels. The annual total turnover of the sector is approximately 500 million euros and the companies employ about 4000 people. The selection of products is wide; printing houses produce books, magazines, newspapers, promotion leaflets, catalogues, product labels, etc. Package producers make packages from film, cardboard and corrugated fibreboard. More than half of the production and three-quarters of produced packaging material is exported mainly to Scandinavian countries, Latvia and Russia. As in other sectors, the majority of companies in the printing and packaging industry are small and medium-sized enterprises. This means that cooperation is needed to fulfil larger and specialised orders. On the other hand, however, small companies allow for more flexibility. After all, uniqueness among competitors in marketing goods and services is of primary importance to companies today. Estonian printing and packaging companies satisfy this need by offering individual and dedicated solutions and smaller quantities. In other words – we offer tailored solutions, not mass production.

Market changes lead to developments Like the European printing industry overall, Estonian printing companies have been affected by the shrinking volume of printed literature (both media and books) and the triumph of digital media. Despite this, the Estonian printing and packaging industry is doing quite well. Based on an analysis conducted by the Association of Estonian Printing and Packaging Industry, this has been ensured by continuous investments in technology, the availability of qualified staff and modern working methods. The water to the mill of the printing industry is also the fact that although the circulation of books is decreasing, the number of printed titles is increasing. For example, in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark where the lion’s share of Estonian printing industry exports go, self-publishing is very popular – many people write and want to publish their own books.

New technologies allow increasingly flexible and affordable solutions. With digital printing, a handful of books at an affordable price can be printed and the field is only growing. The fact that printing books and magazines will be moved back from China to Europe to shorten supply chain deadlines also allows Estonian printing houses to find new customers in Europe. According to the Association of Estonian Printing and Packaging Industry, the market for label and package printing is gradually growing. Development work is underway to find new materials and technologies that will save material while maintaining the properties needed for packaging. Green transitions also set goals to find new environmentally-friendly solutions – instead of plastic, cardboard packaging is becoming more popular. The growing popularity of e-commerce also gives rise to the use of more cardboard. It is also worth noting that packaging industry products are becoming “smarter”. Smart packaging, smart labels and printed electronics are certainly an evolving market – still expensive for the manufacturer today but their rapid growth and widespread use increasingly avail new opportunities.

Commerce: a vital service sector


Economic analysts say that regardless of what happens, the commerce sector will survive. The proof of this is the Estonian commerce sector; the continuous growth of sales volumes was not influenced by the coronavirus pandemic. The value created in the commerce sector is one of the largest in the economy; the annual turnover of retail commerce is almost 8 billion euros with an added 10–13 billion from wholesale. Commerce is the second-largest economic sector in Estonia after manufacturing, with 18% of economic added-value is created. The commerce sector is also the second-largest employer. More than 80,000 people work in the sector’s 17,000 plus enterprises, meaning that almost every tenth employee in Estonia works in the commerce sector.

The retail sector – an important employer The commerce sector is particularly important in rural areas. In almost every county, it is the largest or second-largest employer. This is mainly due to Coop, the largest retail chain in Estonia. In 2021, Coop employed 6,000 workers in more than 330 stores, most of which are located in rural areas. Regarding turnover, the largest retail chain in Estonia is the Tallinna Kaubamaja Group, whose shares are publicly listed on the Tallinn Stock Exchange. The Kaubamaja Group includes the Selver retail chain, several car sales companies in Estonia and other Baltic countries, as well as department stores in the centre of Tallinn and Tartu. The third-largest retailer is Maxima with more than 4,000 employees. The budget chain Lidl has pressured the local market by opening its first stores in the spring of 2022. IKEA also plans to open its first full-scale store in the autumn of 2022 (currently only an ordering and delivery centre is present in Estonia). The Swedish furniture group plans to invest 23 million euros in its first fullscale Estonian store with plans to hire more than 300 employees. The Estonian retail sector has been among the strongest three in the European Union, with an average growth rate of 3% in recent years. During the coronavirus pandemic, the growth of retail commerce in Estonia took on the dimensions of the boom years. Starting from the autumn of 2021, the retail sector’s monthly turnovers have set all-time records. It is noteworthy that this large growth was achieved during the pandemic when no foreign tourists were visiting the country. In the years before the pandemic, the share of non-residents’ expenditure in private consumption was almost 12%.

RETAIL AND WHOLESALE SECTOR 151


Extra money for merchants The growth of the sales volume of retail companies in Estonia has been supported for many years by the rapid growth of people’s wages and purchasing power. Google’s mobility report shows that following the larger restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic, people’s traffic to malls has surpassed the pre-pandemic levels. A couple of special developments have also helped bring customers’ money to the commerce sector. As the pandemic led to uncertainty about the future, people tended to postpone consumer decisions. As a result, household deposits in Estonia increased by 1.2 billion euros in 2020. This money was spent on goods and services later on. The travel restrictions also resulted in more money remaining in the Estonian economy. Since September 2021 and as a result of the pension reform (fundraising for retirement was made voluntary), almost one billion euros withdrawn from the second pension pillar reached the economy. This is 8% of the annual private consumption. The withdrawal of pension savings was immediately reflected in the figures for retail sales. In September 2021, the sales of Estonian retail companies set an all-time record of 790 million euros. New sales records were set in the following months as well, amounting to more than 800 million euros. The money is mainly spent on used passenger cars. The sales of construction materials and household appliances are also doing well.

The pandemic has changed the wholesale business The growth of retail sales has also increased the revenues of wholesale companies. The sales revenue of this sector with an annual turnover of more than 10 billion has been moving upwards since the third quarter of 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the fields of the most successful wholesalers have changed as well. In 2018, the top sellers in wholesale were resellers of metal, metal ores, motor fuels, timber and wood-based products, grain, unprocessed tobacco, seeds and animal feeds. The coronavirus has changed the game. Due to people’s changed consumer and behavioural habits, the largest revenues were seen by wholesalers of medical drugs and equipment.

Life without e-commerce has become unimaginable The mobility restrictions imposed during the pandemic resulted in thousands of new e-shops being established. According to the Estonian E-Commerce Association, there are approximately 6,000 e-stores in Estonia. Many international e-commerce platforms such as Boozt, Zalando and Aboutyou also operate in Estonia. However, Estonians prefer local e-stores for shopping. In the fourth quarter of 2021, 58% of all e-purchases in Estonia were made from local e-stores. However, shopping carts from international stores are more expensive – the value of an average shopping cart from abroad was 44 euro, while the average Estonian shopping cart amounted to 40 euros. The turnover of e-shopping increased by 50% in 2021, reaching 2.5 billion euros. 1.4 billion euros were spent in local e-shops and 1.1 billion euros in foreign e-shops. The use of e-commerce in Estonia has reached levels similar to Western Europe. It is estimated that 76% of the population makes e-purchases. Finland (78%) and France (78%) are at the same level, and we are well ahead of Latvia (63%). Elderly people are also increasingly using e-commerce to reduce contact and stay healthy. People have started to buy goods from e-stores that were not typically ordered online in the past - for example, food and medical drugs.

Transport and logistics: a promising sector


1,6

billion euros is the annual turnover of transport companies, most of which comes from road transport

The transport sector is one of the most promising areas of activity in Estonia. After all, we are located on the eastern border of Europe by the Baltic Sea – a great geographical location for participating in international transit trade. Considering the trends of the world economy, the volumes of transit trade are moving upwards. The Estonian transport, logistics, and warehousing sector are characterised by rapid technological development. Intelligent transport systems and luggage robots have become common, and the time is not far when self-driving vehicles will be the same. Several companies in Estonia are developing these. The introduction of alternative fuels to save the environment as well as the electrification of transport also offer new opportunities for the transport sector. The prospects for warehousing may be supported by the trend of larger stocks due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid growth of international e-commerce platforms. Almost 6,000 companies are operating in the field of transport and logistics in Estonia, employing about 45,000 people or 7% of all employees. The largest company in the entire transport sector is Tallink Grupp, which is engaged in the maritime transport of passengers and goods. An important provider of port services is Tallinna Sadam, which manages five ports. DSV Estonia, Smarten Logistics and DHL Logistics Estonia are the leading logistics companies in freight transport. The largest company in the air transport is Nordic Aviation Group. The largest company in the postal and courier service is Omniva.

Maritime transport Estonian transport companies make the most shipments via maritime transport. Muuga, one of the largest cargo ports in the Baltic Sea, is located near Tallinn to serve cargo flows and cargo volumes even increased there slightly in 2020 despite the pandemic. Historically, Estonian ports have been a transit gateway for oil products. Russia is also vigorously developing its own ports and the Baltic ports that export oil products are increasingly being relegated to the background. Nevertheless, the main group of goods transported by sea in Estonia remains coke and refined petroleum products. They mostly move in transit and make

up a third of all goods handled in Estonian ports. Another large group of goods is chemicals and chemical, rubber, and plastic products that also move mainly in transit and account for a fifth of goods passing through ports. However, the transport of sea containers – which has been on an upward trend from year to year – has been hit by the pandemic and decreased by 11% in 2020. 215,905 TEUs of sea containers were moved to Estonian ports.

Road transport Estonian road transport companies mainly operate domestically – 80% of transport is carried out within Estonia. On average, goods are transported 77 kilometres in Estonia and 660 kilometres in international transport. All in all, this means that 2/3 of the mileage of Estonian freight vehicles still passes in international transport. Closer trade takes place in road transport with Finland, Latvia, Russia, and Sweden. Metal ores and other mining and quarrying products are mostly transported by road, accounting for about a third of road transport. Paper products, printed matter and recordings as well as agricultural, hunting, fishing and forestry products are also important commodity groups for road transport companies.

Rail transport The railway has been quite an important link in Estonian freight transit in the transport of oil products imported from Russia to ports. However, freight transport by rail in Estonia has been declining for a long time. Most rail transport is transit goods. Most chemicals, chemical products, man-made fibres, rubber, and plastic products are transported in transit.

Passenger transport Passenger transport in Estonia takes place by air, land, and sea. Road transport, i.e., bus transport, predominates in passenger transport and

INTERESTING FACTS •

Due to commuting between Tallinn and Helsinki, Tallinn Passenger Port is one of the largest ports in Europe – Tallinn is surpassed only by the ports of Helsinki and Dover.

Tallinn Airport is one of the few airports located almost in the heart of the city; the Old Town is only four kilometres away.

the largest bus company in the Baltic States, Lux Express, founded by Estonians, also operates here. We are in regular and direct contact with more than ten European countries through Estonia’s main air gateway, Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport. The nearest large and busy hubs to Tallinn are Riga and Helsinki. There is heavy traffic between Tallinn and Helsinki by sea. The boat trip from the Estonian capital to the Finnish capital takes only two hours and there are dozens of departures a day in both directions. Tallinn also has a passenger ship connection with Stockholm and several other Baltic ports. Additionally, Tallinn is the home port of Tallink, the largest passenger ship company in the Baltic Sea. Passenger transport by rail currently takes place only domestically. A passenger train connection to Central Europe should be possible in 2030 when Rail Baltic will be completed, connecting Tallinn and other Baltic states with Warsaw. Freight transport will also take place on the same route.

Wood industry: the valuer of the Estonian forest


Few countries in Europe are as rich in forests as Estonia with more than half of its territory covered in forests. Therefore, there are good preconditions for wood industry development in Estonia. The growth of the sector is also bolstered by the fact that due to the green transition, explosive growth in the use of wood as a building material is foreseen. The strength of the Estonian timber sector is its local value chain that does not depend on the import of raw materials. The local resources in Estonia, i.e., the forestry sector, reduce raw material risks of the timber industry compared to industries based on imported raw materials. Recent studies show that there are more than 30,000 jobs in the Estonian timber and forestry sector. Therefore the sector is important for rural areas in Estonia as it provides employment outside larger settlements. The wood industry as a separate entity is one of the largest employers in the manufacturing industry, among which we also find one of Estonia’s largest industrial companies – Stora Enso Eesti – of Finnish origin. A total of 1,100 companies operate in the wood industry, employing 18,000 people and the annual total turnover of the industry is over 2.7 billion euros (does not include forestry and furniture production). The wood industry’s product range is very wide, ranging from the production and processing of lumber to the manufacture of wooden houses, windows, and doors. Almost two-thirds of the production goes beyond the border – export reaches about two billion euros a year. New product groups are also increasingly being introduced. For example, the share of wood chemistry in packaging production is increasing, which allows wood fibres to be used in a new and more comprehensive way. When erecting wooden houses, more and more engineering solutions are used where entire sections of the house are completed in factories and complete houses are assembled on construction sites in a short time. The goal of the Estonian wood industry is to promote the valorisation of paper wood, which is currently mainly exported as a round log. However, increasing the value of wood equals a growing need for labour. Moreover,

2,7

billion euros is the annual turnover of the wood industry, together with forestry and furniture production the turnover reaches over 4 billion.

INTERESTING FACTS •

About half of Estonia’s territory is covered by forests.

Estonia has been the largest exporter of wooden houses in Europe for more than ten years.

The world’s largest Disney store, recently opened in Shanghai, was built with Estonian cladding made by Thermory. Company started as a simple sauna materials manufacturer, but soon focued on thermally modified wooden material like cladding, decking and flooring. Thermory exports to over 50 countries and has 8 factories in Estonia and Finland combined, plus two warehouses in the United States.

the wood industry in Estonia is increasingly being automated. In order to stay competitive in global markets, the trend of automation continues, increasing productivity and reducing the need for additional manpower.

Production and exports There have been no major changes in the production volume of the wood industry in recent years and even in a difficult year like 2020, investments were still made. Investments have significantly increased the production of plywood and the sale of wooden windows is also going well. For years, the turnover of the Estonian wood industry was increased by the production of wooden houses, most of which were exported. 2020’s COVID-19 pandemic caused a major setback regarding this, with travel restrictions preventing installation teams from moving freely and several projects being put on hold. Fortunately, the setback was temporary. Exports account for almost two-thirds of the wood industry’s sales and wood-based products are the most important commodity group balancing the foreign trade balance for Estonia; exports of wood products exceed imports almost three times. Exports are dominated by higher value-added products: prefabricated wooden buildings, sawn timber, wooden building components, wooden furniture, and parts thereof. In recent years, the export volume has grown significantly in the product group of wooden construction components. Estonian wood products are mainly sold to Nordic countries, where Sweden and Finland are at the top of the list in export rankings. More than two-thirds of exports go to the European Union but Estonian wood products are also sold to distant places such as China, Japan, and the USA.

FURNITURE PRODUCTION: a field with longstanding traditions Furniture production in Estonia has a longstanding history. Furniture companies are important employers in rural areas that add value to domestic raw materials. The annual total turnover of the furniture industry is 600 million euros. There are 800 companies active in the field employing approximately 7,000 people. The largest manufacturers are upholstery producers OÜ Fleming, OÜ Bellus Furniture and AS Antsla Inno, office furniture is produced by AS Standard, and furniture details by Flexa Eesti AS. Wooden furniture is produced by Gomab OÜ and bedroom furniture by Delux Production OÜ. Slightly more than half of all furniture production is exported. The most important target markets are those nearby. The largest export market is Scandinavia, accounting for almost three-quarters of the export volume. However, products are also sold to the largest furniture markets in Europe – in Great Britain and Germany. Similar to the timber industry, the furniture Industry is dealing with automation and digitalisation in order to ensure better production management, increase efficiency and reduce waste.
