Belgian sector benchmarks at a glance

DataSnoop’s sector statistics page aggregates the financial filings of every Belgian company that deposits annual accounts at the National Bank (NBB), bucketed by NACE 2-digit sector and by province. Use it to size a market, compare sector medians, or spot which industries are growing.

What the charts show

Sector breakdown— the top 20 NACE sectors by company count, coloured by median EBITDA margin so high- and low-profit industries pop visually.
Company size distribution— how many companies fall in each revenue bracket (from sub-€100K micro-enterprises up to billion-euro filers).
EBITDA margin distribution— histogram of EBITDA margins across all filers with revenue above €100,000, in 5% buckets.
Multi-year evolution— aggregate revenue, EBITDA, and FTE trends over the last five fiscal years.

Methodology

Aggregates use the latest NBB filing per company. Companies without filings (mostly newly incorporated entities and forms exempt from deposit) are excluded from the financial charts. Sector classification follows the official NACE 2008 (NACE-Bel) taxonomy as published in the KBO open data set. For deeper sector analysis, jump to the screener and filter by NACE code.
