When one designates industry or industry [] in the economy a group of enterprises, which manufacture similar products or furnish similar services. Besides it comes also to a summary of enterprises, the the same manufacturing process (e.g. Construction industries) or the same output products use. Enterprises are mostly organized on the level of industries (for example federation of the chemical industry; Retail trade federation) and collective agreements are locked (at least in Germany) on industry level.
