DPT's sector table records 20,923 new businesses across its five listed sectors in 2025, compared with 17,909 in 2024. That is an increase of approximately 16.8%, calculated from the published counts. It measures registrations in this dataset, not profitability, survival or the total stock of active businesses.
The DPT Open Data page provides the underlying series for 2020–2025. The table below reproduces those counts and lets you compare a sector between two years. Percentage changes are Pivot's calculations from the published numbers.

Services account for 11,855 registrations in 2025, the largest count among the five categories. Trade follows at 4,840, construction at 1,605, production at 1,312 and transport at 1,311. Together they sum to the 20,923 total stated above.
The transport series rises from 972 in 2024 to 1,311 in 2025, approximately 34.9%. Services rise by approximately 18.6% over the same period. These rates answer a narrow question: how much the number of registrations in the category changed. They do not say that revenue or demand grew at the same rate.
Use the data to ask better business questions
If you are considering an activity in a growing category, investigate who the customers are, the local competition, prices, costs and any licensing requirements. A broad sector can contain very different activities. Do not use the category total as the market size for a particular product.
Illustrative example: someone planning a delivery service sees more transport registrations. That is a reason to investigate local demand and competition, not evidence that a new delivery business will succeed. A cost model, interviews with potential customers and a review of operational requirements provide different evidence.
How the comparison works
The chart uses the six annual values for the selected sector. The comparison subtracts the starting year's count from the ending year's count, then divides by the starting count for the percentage change. Choosing different years changes the comparison; it does not remove the intervening data from the table.
The figures are a fixed snapshot of the source consulted on 27 October 2026. They are not a live feed. Open the official source to check for later revisions before using them in a formal report.
Are these all businesses currently operating?
No. The series concerns new registrations. It cannot establish how many remain active.
Does growth prove an attractive investment?
No. Registrations are one signal and do not measure expected returns.
Can I inspect the actual numbers?
Yes. Expand the full table under the chart, or use the official dataset link.
