2016- n° 34In December 2015, manufacturing output decreased (−0.8%) Industrial production index - December 2015
In December 2015, output fell back in the manufacturing industry (-0.8% after +0.6% in November). It continued to decline in the industry as a whole (-1.6% after -0,9% in November).
Warnings: Please note: all the series are seasonally (SA) and working-day adjusted (WDA).
The models used to calculate the SA and WDA series, as well as the weights, will be updated for the publication of the industrial production indices of January 2016 on March 10th, 2016.
In December 2015, output fell back in the manufacturing industry (−0.8% after +0.6% in November). It continued to decline in the industry as a whole (−1.6% after −0,9% in November).
Manufacturing output rose over G4 2015 (+0.4%)
Manufacturing output rose over the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter (+0.4% q-o-q). Output increased more slightly in the whole industry (+0.2%).
Output increased in other manufacturing (+0.9%), and surged in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+6.8%). On the contrary, output decreased in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (−0.6%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−0.9%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (−0.7%) and in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (−0.6%).
Over the year, manufacturing output increased sharply (+1.7%)
Manufacturing output of the last quarter of 2015 improved sharply compared to the last quarter of 2014 (+1.7% y-o-y). For that same period, overall industrial output grew even more (+2.0% y-o-y).
Over the year, output rose in all sectors. It expanded markedly in other manufacturing (+1.8%), in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (+3.3%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (+3.2%). It went up more moderately in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment (+0.7%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.9%). It rose sharply in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+2.7%).

In December 2015, output tumbled again in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (−5.2% after −7.4% in November)
Output dropped sharply once again in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply (−6.4% after −9.0%), because of exceptionnaly mild temperatures in December.
Output slid in the manufacture of transport equipment (−2.6% after −0.1%)
Output slipped back sharply in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (−3.7% after +1.7% in November) and declined again in the manufacture of other transport equipment (−1.6% after −1.7%).
Output decreased in the electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (−1.4% after −0.4%)
Output shrank in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (−5.1% after +1.5%) and in the manufacture of electrical equipment (−2.0%). On the contrary, it strengthened in the manufacture of machinery and equipment (+1.5%).

Output faltered in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−1.4%), such as dairy products.
Output was almost unchanged in other manufacturing (−0.1% after +1.4%)
Output fell back steeply in the manufacture of textiles, wearing apparel, leather and related products (−4.7%). It also weakened, albeit more moderately in the manufacture of rubber and plastics products, and other non-metallic mineral products (−0.9%) and in the manufacture of wood and paper products, printing and reproduction of recorded media (−1.3%), Conversely, it grew in other manufacturing repair and installation of machinery and equipment (+0.6%), in pharmaceuticals (+0.8%) and in metallurgy (+0.2%).
Output fell again in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−2.6% after −9.0%).
Output continued to decline in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products, due to the partial closure of a refinery.
