Toimialoittain

Toimialoittain is a Finnish adverb meaning “by industry” or “industry-wise.” It is used to describe data, analyses, or classifications that are organized according to economic sectors. The term combines toimiala (industry or sector) with the suffix -ittain, which signals distribution across categories.

In practice, toimialoittain data are presented when statistics or reports show figures separated for different sectors, such as manufacturing, construction, trade, transport, and services. This approach enables comparisons across sectors and helps identify sector-specific trends, strengths, or vulnerabilities. It is common in official statistics, business dashboards, market analyses, and financial reporting.

Notes on usage include awareness of sector classifications, which can vary by country or dataset. When interpreting toimialoittain data, readers should consider the underlying taxonomy or classification system used to define industries. The term is often paired with other descriptive qualifiers, such as toimitusketjuun liittyen (in relation to supply chains) or ajanjaksoin eritelty (by time period), to provide clearer context.

Translations into English include “by industry” or “by sector.” The concept is widely used in statistical reporting to facilitate structured, sector-based analysis and comparisons across different parts of the economy.
