Export turnover also decreased in June (−3.4% after +2.2% in May).

Increase over the last three months (+0.4%)

Over the last three months (April to June), the turnover increased in the manufacturing industry (+0.4%) as well as in industry as a whole (+0.3%), compared to the previous three months. Within manufacturing, the turnover grew in the manufacture of transport equipment (+2.9%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.8%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+0.4%). It decreased in “other manufacturing” (−0.4%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−7.2%).

Turnover in manufacturing industry

  • Sources: DGFiP, INSEE.

Sharp rise compared to the previous year (+3.9%)

The turnover over the last three months grew strongly by 3.9% compared to the same three months of the previous year in the manufacturing industry. It also increased in industry as a whole (+4.0%). Within manufacturing, the turnover rose sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+12.2%). It also grew in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+3.6%), in “other manufacturing” (+1.6%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+6.1%), and in the manufacture of mining, quarrying, energy and water supply (+4.4%). By contrast, it went down in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−6.8%).

In June, sharp downturn in transport equipment  (−10.1%)

The turnover in the manufacture of transport equipment fell back sharply in June 2019 (−10.1% after +10.6%). This fall was mainly due to the manufacture of other transport equipment (−15.9% after +17.5%) and to a lesser extent to the manufacture of motor vehicles (−1.5% after +1.8%).

Export sales of transport equipment was stable (after +3.6%).

Strong backdrop in coke and refined petroleum products (−13.4%)

The turnover in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products slipped back sharply in June 2019 (−13.4% after +0.1%).

Decrease  in “other manufacturing” (−1.0%)

The turnover in “other manufacturing” fell in June (−1.0% after a stability in May). It decreased in most subsections − the manufacture of basic metals and fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment (−1.9% after −0.7%), the manufacture of rubber and plastics products and other non−metallic mineral products (−1.9% after +0.5%), the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations (−1.6% after +3.6%), the manufacture of wood and paper products; printing and reproduction of recorded media (−0.7% after −0.3%), other manufacturing, repair and installation of machinery and equipment (−0.3% after −0.6%), and the manufacture of textiles, wearing apparel, leather and related products (−0.7% after −0.5%). The turnover was virtually stable in the manufacture of chemicals and chemical products (+0.1% after −0.1%).

Exports sales in “other manufacturing” slipped back in June (−3.4% after +2.0%).

Downturn in machinery and equipment goods (−2.2%)

In June 2019, the turnover in machinery and equipment slipped back (−2.2% after +0.7% in May). It decreased in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (−4.4% after +1.3%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (−1.3% after +0.5) and in the manufacture of electrical equipment (−0.7% after +0.4%).

Export sales also fell back in machinery and equipment goods in June (−7.8% after +3.3%).

Further decrease in food products and beverages (−0.6%)

The turnover in the manufacture of food products and beverages fell again in June (−0.6% after −1.7%). Export sales also decreased (−1.4% after −1.2%).
