Sales of small and medium -sized enterprises They continued to accelerate in the first quarter of 2025, increasing by 4.9% In real conditions, in relation to the same period of 2024, the largest growth from September 2022, in this percentage, are taken under the inflation rate related to inflation. Although they support the growth path and that sales were restored, the trend for nutrition was not achieved. Thus, the sales of small enterprises are 16% lower than the trend that arises as a result of projection of their growth rates from the first quarter of 2015 and the last 2019. In the case of medium -sized companies, this negative gap reaches 7%. Thus, the Cepyme indicator confirms in the SME situation in the first quarter of 2025.
The average sales evolution, although it softens the increase, also shows an improvement. Given this measurement, Intergurod increase in the first quarter of the year is 4%The largest in nine quarters. With this result, the sales volume of SMEs exceeds 8.9% of the data that were registered in the first quarter of 2019. In addition, it is said that the sales volume has been the highest since March 2009.
In the second trimester in a row, The volume of sales developed better in medium -sized companies than in smallThe field while those who have 50 workers have, sales increased to 4.7% of the year -when they are the best result from June 2022 -for companies to 249 employees, growth has amounted to 5.4% large differences since December 2022.
However, if the focus is expanded and a wider period is taken into account for analysis, there is a fragmented recovery. While the volumes sold by small enterprises are 5.1% higher than in the first quarter of 2019, the points of medium -sized companies increased by 16.7% over the same period.
The average value for SMEs as a whole, as indicated, the accumulated increase by 8.9% from the beginning of 2019. However, this average contain two very different realities depending on the number of employees and, therefore, on the size of the company.
Nevertheless, the long -term vision offers a less favorable aspect, because although sales were restored in two sizes of companies, not one of them reached the tendency that was achieved during 2019.
Employment loses the impulse
Although sales at small and medium -sized enterprises continue Employment has lost impulseField in the first three months of 2025 Only 1.9%increased, The fact that this is the lowest increase in employment from the same period of 2021. However, this was sufficient growth, which allows, by the eighth sequential trimester, the number of SMEs of the SMEs remained more than 9 million people, in particular, amounted to 9.21 million employees. Thus, they add 170 100 more than a year earlier, an absolute increase, which is also the smallest in four years.
A positive aspect is that in the third quarter the amount of wages in the SME increased less than the sales. This contributes to compensation for part of the average performance, which was lost in previous quarters.
Again, Employment growth was weaker than the lower size of the companyThe field on the one hand, an increase in employment amounted to 0.4% in the microders, but in large companies reached 5.5% (that is, 15 times). From both ends, in small firms, templates grew by 2.4% (softer growth in four years), while in a median per year increased by 3%.
Belonging 535 500 hired jobs created by the private sector in the first quarter From 2024 and the same period of 2025, 68.3% corresponded to large companies (366,400 jobs), while Set of MSP introduced the remaining 31.7%– About 170 100 positions. Within the framework of the SME, more than one million microdestors with employees can create only 11 200 jobs (2.1% of the total) compared with 77,800 jobs of small (14.5% of the total) and 89,000 from the funds (the remaining 16.6%). Since June 2021, an increase in employment in minibus is slower than in other SMEs.
