Long-Term Outlook and Challenges

60

• Global Structural Change Set to Continue Apace

o Industrial production and services will relocate to rapidly developing economic areas

o Strong growth, large markets, cheap labour and increasing expertise will increase the

attractiveness of these regions.

• Competition over Skills and Raw Materials Set to Increase

o Due to an increase in retirement, the sector’s annual recruitment need in Finland will

rise considerably in the coming years.

o The availability of reasonably-priced energy also threatens to become an investment

bottleneck in Finland

• Combating Climate Change

o A challenge as costs are set to grow faster than in competitor countries

o An opportunity for new environmental and energy technologies
