Data notes & caveats

The Eurostat enterprise ICT survey covers enterprises with at least 10 employees and self-employed persons and defined economic activities. Sector rates are within-sector adoption rates, not sector shares of all AI-using enterprises.

Methodology

Sector rows are sourced from the Eurostat enterprise AI article and benchmarked against the EU all-enterprise adoption rate. The multiple divides the sector rate by the EU average.

Source consistency notes

Rows and benchmark use Eurostat 2025 percentages and a common survey scope.
