Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we focus on production chains, i.e., on intermediate commodities, in manufacturing. Based on input–output data for the 2 years 2000 and 2005, we investigate the input change of the intermediate import shares. The result is that the share of intermediate imports has increased in some important sectors. The value-added chain has been heavily changed in later years. This is visible as an increase in offshoring and fragmentation in some important production sectors of the economy. The conclusion is that the globalisation process has affected tasks within the production chain in the Swedish economy. Finally, adjustment and necessary policy reforms are discussed.
