At a high-income level, motor vehicles, machinery and equipment, electrical machinery and chemical industries usually account for the largest contribution to the growth of manufacturing value added. The increases in both technological development and productivity are the major drivers for the sustained growth of these industries, hence following a path of skill-biased development (Haraguchi, 2016). For the supply side, technological and skill development are the two major enablers for building and expanding production capacities. This is linked with technological change and increasing productivity within specific industries. Innovations are thus an important factor for sustainable development. Productivity growth and economy-of-scale effects highly depend on product and process innovations.
