In an increasingly globalized market, consumers are more curious than ever about the origin of their products. At EU Product Score, we analyzed data from over 100,000 products to answer a simple question: which European countries lead the way in local manufacturing and sourcing?

Our proprietary EU Product Score evaluates products on a scale of 0-100 based on factors like the company's headquarters location, where the product is manufactured, and the origin of its ingredients. A higher score indicates a stronger connection to its stated country of origin. After analyzing products with a significant presence across the continent, we've compiled a ranking of the top countries based on their average score.

The results reveal a fascinating story, not just about the big manufacturing players, but also about the smaller nations with a strong commitment to localism.
