neutral  Oliver Lawrence: a department suggests part of a single company, rather than all the companies in the sector (as described in the question)

Asker: I like very much the expression "encompassing approximately". For this reason your answer is very helpful. Unfortunately it is not the only one. If I could choose more than one as the most helpful, I would do it. Thank you.:-)))

sector


Explanation:
In the context,of "The entire sector which comprises 30 companies... " and adjective like manufacturing or production would be verbose and redundant.
The phrase is very common:

Asker: It is very difficult to decide which answer is the most helpful for me in this translation. And I beg your pardon if I don't choose yours. Only because "the entire sector" would create a repetition afterwards with "operating in this sector". Anyway it is very helpful for the future. I have learnt from you a new expression. Thank you. :-)
