OEE benchmark Portugal 2026: manufacturing data, sector targets and downtime cost
Official manufacturing statistics for Portugal, 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 Portugal's own sector mix (INE (Instituto Nacional de Estatistica)). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food, beverages, tobacco (C10-C12) | EUR 5,505 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 60–80% | 82% | Changeover & startup losses | 90% × 93% × 98% |
| Textiles, apparel, leather (C13-C15) | EUR 4,423 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 40–60% | 73% | Reduced speed & quality | 82% × 86% × 95% |
| Fabricated metal products (C25) | EUR 3,580 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 45–65% | 78% | Setup & idling | 85% × 88% × 96% |
| Wood, paper, printing (C16-C18) | EUR 3,161 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 80–92% | 92% | Unplanned stops | 95% × 97% × 99.5% |
| Non-metallic minerals (C23) | EUR 2,373 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 80–92% | 92% | Unplanned stops | 95% × 97% × 99.5% |
Downtime cost calculator: Portugal defaults

Frequently asked questions
What is a good OEE in Portugal?
There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Portugal's leading sectors the typical range is 40–92% 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 (INE (Instituto Nacional de Estatistica), 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 Portugal 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.
