The Regional Directorate of Statistics of Madeira (DREM), after having released final data for 2019 last March regarding enterprises, makes available today on its official statistics portal, the final data for the establishments of non-financial enterprises located in the Region for that same year.

With the growing preponderance of major brands, particularly in the trade sector - confirmed by the annual information of the Relevant Size Commercial Units (UCDR) project, which shows, the continuous growth of the turnover of these units in the Autonomous Region of Madeira  since 2015 - information on establishments is of significant importance. It should be remembered that an enterprise, headquartered anywhere in the country, may have several establishments located in different areas of the territory. Therefore, there are establishments located in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (ARM), which belong to enterprises headquartered outside the ARM and there are also enterprises in the ARM, with establishments in the Mainland and / or in the Autonomous Region of the Azores.

The number of employees went up by 6.2% from 2018. The industries with the most pronounced growth were “Construction” (+17.2%), “Human health and social work activities” (+15.3%) and “Transportation and storage” (+14.7%).
