Malmö SnapshotFACTS AND FIGURES ON TRADE AND INDUSTRY IN MALMÖ

ANNUAL REPORT

A summary from the City Office, City of Malmö 2014

Did you know that ...

... 3.8 million people live in the Öresund region?

... 8 new companies started every day in Malmö in 2013?

... there has never been such a large workforce in Malmö as now?

Page 2: Malmo Snapshot 2014

There has never been such a large workforce in Malmö as now. Almost 160,000 people have jobs in the city.

Of these, around 60,000 commute to work in Malmö and some 30,000 commute from Malmö to work in another municipality. So there are nearly 100,000 people on the move in and around Malmö every morning and evening on their way to or from work. Like a substantionally large Swedish city.Then there are almost 15,000 people who commute over the Öresund Bridge every day. Which means commuting to work is a natural part of life for many people in the region. Good communications and short distances make it easy to cross municipal boundaries. It is becoming clearer all the time that we have a single labour market in the region.

When the Fehmarn belt tunnel, which will be a fixed link between Denmark and Germany, is completed in a few years’ time, it will open the way for a particularly competitive extended region. Travel and transport times will drop significantly and we will see positive effects on growth, jobs, tourism, research and culture.

There is also talk of an Öresund Metro between Malmö and Copenhagen. With a tunnel under the sound, the journey between the cities would take around 15 minutes. This would help to increase everyday integration across the water. A fine scenario for the future.

Naturally, this calls for our growth to be sustainable and inclusive. Every day we strive to make Malmö a great city in which to live and work.

Pehr AnderssonDirector, Trade and Industry Agency, City of Malmö

4 THE REGION

A CITY IN TRANSITIONInterest in Malmö is high and there is a lot of activity in the city. Many actors see Malmö’s potential and want to be involved and invest in Malmö’s future.

Clean sweep at MIPIM in March, one of the world’s largest property fairs. Emporia topped the category for ‘Best Shopping Centre’ and Max IV won ‘Best Futura Project’. Last year’s Best Futura Project was Culture Casbah, which will be a new landmark in Rosengård.

5THE REGION

TWO NEW IMPORTANT RESEARCH FACILITIES UNDER WAYThey will be constructed in Lund, 20 km north of Malmö. In addition to new exciting research opportunities, the facilities will generate further job opportunities and more growth in the region.

MAX IV is a synchrotron radiation laboratory. 2,000 researchers from around the world are expected to use the facility each year. Opening in 2016.

The ESS (European Spallation Source) will be the world’s foremost material research facility using neutrons. A collaboration between 17 European countries. Opening in 2019.

A TUNNEL BETWEEN DENMARK AND GERMANYThe Fehmarn belt tunnel will be constructed between Denmark and Germany and it is estimated that it will be completed in 2021. The tunnel will link Scandinavia with the continent and will reduce travel times considerably. The Öresund Bridge has played an important role in integration and growth in the Öresund region and it is forecasted that the tunnel will have a similar significance for a new competitive, extended economic region.

METRO BETWEEN MALMÖ AND COPENHAGEN? Via a tunnel under the Öresund strait, the metro trip will take around 15 minutes. A metro would relieve the Öresund Bridge, which is expected to receive increased goods traffic when the fixed link between Denmark and Germany is completed. The metro is also expected to help to increase everyday integration across the water.

The second phase of the feasibility study started in January 2014, with Malmö and Copenhagen examining four areas in more detail. If the project gets the go-ahead, the metro could start operating around 2030.

6 THE REGION

THE ÖRESUND REGIONThe Öresund region is the largest and most densely populated metropolitan area in the Nordic countries. The Öresund region covers parts of two countries, Sweden and Denmark, and travel between the two is easy via the Öresund Bridge, which was opened on 1 July 2000. The 16-kilometre link runs between Malmö and Copenhagen.

THE ÖRESUND REGION IS GROWING INTO A MAJOR ECONOMIC REGIONWhen the Fehmarn belt tunnel, a fixed link between Denmark and Germany, is completed in 2021, it will open the way for a competitive extended region. Travel and transport times will reduce significantly and positive effects are expected in terms of integration, growth, the number of jobs, tourism, research and culture.

CLOSE COLLABORATION ACROSS THE STRAITIn Malmö’s new structure plan and Copenhagen’s new ‘municipality plan’, the cities describe their joint role as engines for regional development. Development strategies and areas are described jointly. These two politically adopted plans signal the close collaboration between the two cities, and that they should be seen in a single context by citizens and industry alike.

The Öresund region includes Skåne in Sweden and Zealand, Møn, Lolland-Falster and Bornholm in Denmark

3.8 million inhabitants (1.3 million on the Swedish side and 2.5 million on the Danish side)

25% of the total population of Sweden and Denmark live in the Öresund region

The largest Nordic regional labour market, with 1.8 million people

7THE REGION

THE ÖRESUND REGION GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE

Trains from Malmö, to Copenhagen Airport and to the city centre, depart every 10 minutes during rush hours. At other times, trains depart every 20 minutes

The city has two ring roads (the Outer and Inner Ring Road), which make efficient logistics possible

The proximity to a well-developed road and railway network makes it easy to transport goods and people, both within Sweden and to Scandinavia and Europe

The new City Tunnel opened in 2010 and has given Malmö an improved infrastructure and two new stations. Commuting times for several routes were shortened and ease of movement in the region was further increased

Malmö Airport is located 30 km to the east of the city. An airport bus is available, which takes 40 minutes

Malmö is home to one of Sweden’s largest cargo ports. It is a combined cargo and passenger harbour. A comprehensive expansion project has recently been carried out with new areas, terminals and a logistics centre

COMMUTING OVER THE ÖRESUND BRIDGE

´14,500 people commuted daily by train or car across the Öresund Bridge (2013)

´A reduction of 3.8% compared to the previous year and -15% over five years, but an increase of +141% over ten years. The highest level was reached in 2008; since then commuting has reduced somewhat

´60% commuted by train and 40% by car

´93% commuted to work and 7% to study

´The majority commuted from Sweden to Denmark – 96% live in Skåne (Swedes, Danes and other nationalities)

´Many Danes have settled in Malmö because of the difference in house prices between the countries, and a large number of Swedes work in Copenhagen, although this trend has tailed off in recent years

´Around 8,900 people commuted from Malmö to Denmark (2012)

57% OF COMMUTERS INTO AND OUT OF MALMÖ ARE MEN

Large local labour markets contribute to increased flexibility, benefiting both companies and citizens. Companies have better opportunities to find the right expertise and the individual citizen has a wider choice in the labour market

The communications are good in the region. In December 2010, the City Tunnel in Malmö was inaugurated, further improving commuting options

For several years, commuting has increased in both directions and has contributed to a mobile region

29,390 people commuted to other municipalities in Sweden from Malmö (domestic outbound commuting 2012)

´Malmö is continuing to grow as a destination, with more visitors than ever in 2013. The number of hotel guests in Malmö totalled 1,238,829, which was 16,293 more than in 2012

´Overnight guests and day-trippers to Malmö spent a total of SEK 5.9 billion in 2013. The total consumption gave rise to employment amounting to 4,274 full-time equivalents. International visitors spent SEK 681 million

´In 2013, 1.5 million visitors stayed overnight in Malmö. They stayed an average of 2.25 nights per visit, amounting to almost 3.5 million overnight stays. There were also 5.1 million day trips

´Malmö’s new cruise terminal in Frihamnen was opened in 2013, with a footpath and cycle route to improve access between central Malmö and the cruise terminal. Malmö had 10 cruise ships docking and a total of 31,500 passengers

´The vacancy rate increased slightly to 7.5%, against 6.9% the previous year. Rental levels for Prime Rent in the CBD (Central Business District) have fallen somewhat to SEK 2,000/m²/year, compared to SEK 2,013 previous year.

´In 2013, several hotel projects were started or approved in Hyllie and Västra Hamnen. Some large leases were concluded as new buildings were commissioned. For example, Skanska let its present offices (11,000 m²) to Sweco, while Wihlborgs let its existing site to Tieto and Nordea when they acquired Östersjön 1 on Carlsgatan

´Some centrally located properties have changed owners – the German fund DEREIF SICAV-FIS acquired the office buildings Kronan 10 and 11 at Östergatan 35–39 and Norra Vallgatan 36–40 in central Malmö, while Briggen sold its offices in Björnen 6 on Davidshall

´Jernhusen is investing around SEK 100 million and has started construction of a new logistics building at Malmö Kombiterminal. Mertz Transport, which handles operations at the Kombiterminal, will lease the building

´The number of new homes started and completed decreased compared to 2012. Above all, the number of multi-dwelling buildings completed increased, while completed single-family homes decreased for the second year in a row

´Housing construction in Malmö did well in 2013, despite a cautious market. The largest number of new homes were started in Västra Hamnen and Limhamns Sjöstad. The number of homes started during 2013 ended up at around 1,146, including 1,065 apartments in multi-dwelling buildings

´The number of homes started in 2013 dropped by about 180 compared with 2012. The figure has varied over the last few years in Malmö, but on average, construction started on around 1,200 homes each year from 2009–2013

´In the last few years, the City of Malmö has started and completed a large number of detailed plans for homes, providing a good planning base and good conditions for house building in the coming years. In January 2014 there were detailed plans in progress for 10,800 homes, around 3,000 more than the previous year

Multi-dwelling building = building with at least 3 separate apartments. The maximum number is unlimited.

´There were 154,796 employees in Malmö in 2013. The number of employees increased by 1,560 or 1.0% compared to the previous year

´After the summer of 2011, the trend in the number of employees started to curve upwards again after a year at a constant level because of economic unrest in Europe and the world. Since then it has risen progressively and it is now at its highest level to date

´In the last year, there has been an increase in the electronics industry, hotels and restaurants and in leasing companies. There has been a drop within ‘advertising and marketing’ and within ‘building contractors’

´Private Swedish companies excl. Groups show the biggest increase. The number of employees in municipal facilities has decreased. Limited companies are the legal form that has increased the most

´The number of employees has increased by 21% in 10 years. A positive long-term development can be noted within business services, IT and computer consultants, hotels and restaurants, education and commerce

Number of employees = daytime population, i.e. the number of people employed in Malmö (excl. owners of sole proprietorships) who earned at least one basic amount per year, or worked as temporary employees for more than 3 months

´There was a cautious situation in the labour market in Skåne and Malmö in 2013. Unemployment in Malmö increased from 14.0% in 2012 to 14.9% in 2013, while the number of lay-offs decreased. Unemployment is expected to fall slightly in 2014

´The average number of Malmö residents registered with the employment office was 21,207, of which 9,151 were women and 12,056 men. Among young people aged 18–24, an average of 3,922 Malmö residents, 1,623 women and 2,299 men, were unemployed (i.e. 24.5% of the workforce)

´Unemployment was higher among men than among women (by 3.1 percentage points), and among young people, the difference was even greater (7.1 percentage points). It was also much higher for people born outside Sweden (28.0%) than for the workforce as a whole (14.9%)

´Compared to other large cities in Sweden, Malmö had high unemployment. In Gothenburg, the figure was 9.4% and in Stockholm 7.1% (of the workforce aged 16–64)

´The situation in the labour market on Zealand has stabilised and is expected to turn around in 2014. There was less commuting to Denmark in 2013 than in 2012, but the decrease has levelled off

´26,822 new vacancies were reported to the Public Employment Service in Malmö in 2013, a slight increase of 0.7% compared to the previous year

´On average, 73 new vacancies were reported every day throughout the year

´After the financial crisis, the number of new vacancies rose again in 2010 and 2011. Demand fell away in the second half of 2012 and the positive trend was interrupted. There was a slight increase in 2013. The outcome is at a high level in historical terms

´Demand within ‘hotels and restaurants’ and the ‘public sector’ increased markedly in 2013. Commerce also shows a slight increase

´Demand within ‘telecommunications’ was down in 2013 compared to the previous year. It also fell in ‘energy and environment’ and ‘consulting services’

´During the last 10 years, the number of new vacancies has more than doubled. The sectors with the greatest positive growth in percentage terms are ‘culture, entertainment and recreation’, ‘construction’, and ‘telecommunications’, while demand was down within ‘commerce’ and ‘manufacturing’

´Approximately 2,300 new companies are started each year (average over last 10 years) In 2013, 8 companies were started every day

´2,909 new companies were started in Malmö in 2013. A very high figure and an increase of 3.5% compared with the previous year. Gothenburg showed an increase of 5%, Sweden as a whole was unchanged, and Stockholm decreased by 3%

´60% of the new companies were sole proprietorships and 34% were limited companies. The number of limited companies continues to increase

´The new companies employed 3,481 people (approximately 1.2 per company)

´The number of new start-ups increased most in percentage terms during the year in ‘education’, ‘hotels and restaurants’ and ‘manufacturing’

´14.2 companies per thousand inhabitants were started in Malmö. This compares with 17.6 for Stockholm, 12.9 for Gothenburg and 11.5 for Sweden as a whole. There is a strong entrepreneurial spirit in Malmö and for several years the city has been ranked high up on lists of new enterprises in Sweden

´68% of the enterprises started in Sweden in 2008 were still in business three years later (survival rate)

New company = completely new start-up, or business resumed after at least two years lying dormant

From 2010, the statistics are based on registration data instead of the direct collection of information. New activation criteria were applied, and a new calculation basis for those employed.

´For each company that goes into liquidation, 7 new companies are started (average over last 10 years)

´Approximately 325 bankruptcies per year. Fewer than one bankruptcy per day (average over last 10 years)

´The financial crisis in 2008 resulted in a large number of bankruptcies in 2009. The number of bankruptcies fell slightly in the years following the crisis, but it went up again in 2013

´412 bankruptcies in Malmö in 2013, which is a sharp increase. In Malmö, Gothenburg and Sweden as a whole, the number of bankruptcies is rising again, while Stockholm is largely unchanged

´The bankruptcies occur within many industries. Big increases from the previous year can be seen in ‘security, property management and office services’, ‘transport and warehousing’ and commerce. In some sectors, the number of bankruptcies has gone down, e.g. in ‘culture, entertainment and recreation’, and ‘healthcare’

´In recent years, limited companies have been responsible for the increase. Limited companies have also accounted for the increase in the last year. The increase is greatest among companies with 0 to 19 employees

GROWTH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTUREMalmö has a flourishing commercial life with strong growth and belief in the future. In the 1990s, the city went through a tough period in which several industries closed down and the active workforce shrank. During this period, decisions were made including the foundation of Malmö University (established in 1998) and the construction of the Öresund Bridge (inaugurated in 2000). Two initiatives among many that have contributed to Malmö’s development from an industrial town into a knowledge city.

´After a slight downturn in 2009, the workforce has increased again over the last three years and is now at an all-time high

´A workforce of 161,172 was employed in Malmö

´An increase of 1.8% compared to the previous year and an increase of 19% over 10 years

´Over the last 10 years, it is primarily the sectors of business services and education that have increased. Manufacturing has decreased

THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES DOES NOT INCLUDE OWNERS OF SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS, ONLY THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES. 1994–2008 SNI 2002, 2009–2013 SNI 2007

From 2009, the data is shown according to the new division into industries. For this reason, there is a break in the time series in the graphs. Even in those cases where the industry name is the same, both before and after 2009, such as ‘manufacturing’, the underlying division may have changed. Therefore, the data for the new and old divisions into industries cannot be compared. We have chosen to retain and present the old definitions in order to give an impression of the long-term development.

PERCENTAGE CHANGE 2009-2013´The industries that show the largest percentage increase in the

number of employees are ‘hotels and restaurants’ followed by ‘law, economics, science and technology’ and ‘civil authorities and defence’

´‘Healthcare and social services, ‘transport and warehousing’ and ‘education’ also show an increase of more than 10%

´Industries that show a decrease are ‘agriculture/forestry/fishing’, followed by ‘energy, water, waste’, ‘construction’, ‘manufacturing’, and ‘information and communication’

LONG-TERM TRENDSBecause of changes in the division into industries, it is not possible to make any detailed long-term analysis, but only to summarise the overall development in a few short comments:

´A positive long-term development can be noted within business services, IT and computer consultancies, hotels and restaurants, education and commerce

´A downward trend can be seen within manufacturing and agriculture/forestry/fishing

30 PROFILE AREAS

MALMÖ’S PROFILE AREASMalmö focuses on a number of profile areas in a business context. These are areas in which Malmö’s strengths are considered to be particularly successful in terms of more employment opportunities and greater growth. Read more on www.malmobusiness.com under ‘Profile areas’.

LOGISTICSNorra Hamnen is one of the most attractive places to establish logistics companies in northern Europe. Its strategic position makes it easy to distribute incoming and outgoing flows of goods. It boasts a modern logistics centre for transport by ship, train and goods vehicle. ´PHOTO: CMP

LIFE SCIENCESThe overall long-term objective is to increase Malmö’s attractiveness. Malmö is an excellent place to establish life science activities, whether as companies or research projects.

HOSPITALITY INDUSTRYThe overall goal for Malmö Tourism is to attract more visitors to Malmö. This will produce more economic turnover and more jobs in the hotel and catering industry in Malmö. The hotel and catering industry is very important to the labour market and to growth. Malmö Tourism is actively working to advertise Malmö’s attractions and to provide an impetus for Malmö to keep developing more attractive offerings in the future. ´PHOTO: LEIF JOHANSSON X-RAY

31PROFILE AREAS

CREATIVE INDUSTRIESInvestments in film, music, computer games, web-based services, mobile platforms, design, architecture, fashion and new media have created a strong potential for the creative industries in Malmö. Creative industries are an area in which many different activities and industries overlap. Development and new business opportunities are created at the intersection between the different sectors. The creative industries are major drivers for innovation and new technology. The vision is to be an expanding centre for creative industries where business, education and research at an international level generate growth. ´PHOTO: JESPER BERG

CLEANTECHThe City of Malmö aims to become a ‘cleantech city’ – a place with a unique environmental technology profile combining economic, social and ecological sustainability. Together with companies, the university and other actors, the municipality aims to create an attractive location to start up, operate and develop companies in the cleantech field in Malmö. Within the City of Malmö, this profile area is driven via Malmö Cleantech City.

HEAD OFFICESMalmö offers growth and belief in the future and is an attractive city in which to start a business. Its closeness to Copenhagen is a big attraction, along with the good infrastructure with Copenhagen Airport at its heart. Moreover, many key figures such as new company start-ups, new vacancies and revenue are on the increase. The big expansion areas are in Västra Hamnen and Hyllie. ´PHOTO: LEIF JOHANSSON X-RAY

COMMERCEMalmö will continue to develop and grow as a regional centre for commerce and visitors. Commerce has experienced strong growth in the last 10 years and employs around 20% of all those working in the retail sector in Skåne. An increasing population in Malmö and the region is accompanied by increased demand. An attractive city, the major commercial centres in the town, conference and exhibition facilities, events and leisure activities will contribute to this. ´PHOTO: LEIF JOHANSSON X-RAY
