Industrial product and fashion design activities

NACE code 74.11 covers a diverse range of industrial product and fashion design activities. This industry plays a crucial role in shaping the visual and functional aspects of a wide array of consumer and industrial goods, from household appliances to high-end fashion. By combining creativity, technical expertise, and an understanding of market trends, professionals in this field contribute significantly to the competitiveness and innovation of various sectors within the broader economy.

The core activities within NACE code 74.11 involve the conceptualization, development, and refinement of product designs. This typically begins with research and analysis to identify customer needs, industry trends, and technical requirements. Designers then utilize a range of tools and techniques, such as sketching, computer-aided design (CAD) software, and prototyping, to translate these insights into viable product concepts. Iterative testing and feedback loops help to refine the designs, ensuring they meet both aesthetic and functional criteria before final approval and implementation.

The main inputs required for industrial product and fashion design activities include access to a diverse range of materials, such as fabrics, metals, plastics, and other raw materials. Specialized software, hardware, and digital design tools are also essential, as are the creative and technical skills of the design professionals themselves. Collaboration with other industry stakeholders, such as manufacturers, marketers, and end-users, is often crucial to the success of product design projects.

The primary outputs of NACE code 74.11 are the conceptual designs, technical specifications, and visual representations of a wide range of industrial products and fashion items. These design outputs are then typically consumed by 25.99 Manufacture of other fabricated metal products n.e.c., 27.51 Manufacture of electric domestic appliances, 14.11 Manufacture of leather clothes, and 14.12 Manufacture of workwear industries, among others, which utilize the designs to manufacture the final products.
