OEE benchmark Hungary 2026: manufacturing data, sector targets and downtime cost
Official manufacturing statistics for Hungary, the OEE ranges that apply to its leading sectors, a downtime-cost calculator preloaded with national labour and energy costs, and the incentives that can fund a monitoring project.
Key figures
Leading sectors and the OEE ranges that apply
The first columns are Hungary's own sector mix (KSH (Kozponti Statisztikai Hivatal)). The OEE columns are the oee-benchmark.org editorial ranges for that sector type: they are benchmarks for plants, not national statistics.
| Sector | Weight | Typical OEE | World-class target | Dominant loss | A × P × Q |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motor vehicles (C29) | EUR 5,360 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 70–85% | 85% | Changeover & minor stops | 92% × 95% × 99.5% |
| Food, beverages, tobacco (C10-C12) | EUR 3,714 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 60–80% | 82% | Changeover & startup losses | 90% × 93% × 98% |
| Electrical equipment (C27) | EUR 2,948 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 75–90% | 88% | Reduced speed & defects | 93% × 96% × 99% |
| Computer, electronic, optical (C26) | EUR 2,801 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 75–90% | 88% | Reduced speed & defects | 93% × 96% × 99% |
| Fabricated metal products (C25) | EUR 2,765 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 45–65% | 78% | Setup & idling | 85% × 88% × 96% |

Frequently asked questions
What is a good OEE in Hungary?
There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Hungary's leading sectors the typical range is 45–90% and the world-class targets are listed above. Most plants that start measuring sit near 60%.
Where do these figures come from?
Manufacturing weight, employment, labour cost, energy price and robot density come from official statistics (KSH (Kozponti Statisztikai Hivatal), Eurostat, the World Bank and the IFR); every figure links to the page it was read from. The OEE ranges are oee-benchmark.org editorial benchmarks.
What is in the Hungary benchmark pack?
An Excel workbook with the country profile and sources, the hub table, the sector OEE ranges, a downtime-cost calculator with the national defaults already filled in, and the incentives and events lists. It is free; we ask for a work email.
