Export turnover declined again in December (−2.0% after −1.5%).

Decrease over the last three months

Over the last three months (October to December), the turnover declined in the manufacturing industry (−1.2%) as in industry as a whole (−1.0%), compared to the previous three months. Within manufacturing, the turnover fell strongly in the manufacture of transport equipment (−3.3%). It also went down in “other manufacturing” (−0.6%), in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−5.3%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−0.9%).

Turnover in manufacturing industry

  • Sources: DGFiP, INSEE.

Slight decrease compared to the previous year (−0.2%)

The turnover over the last three months decreased by −0.2% compared to the same three months of the previous year in the manufacturing industry as well as in industry as a whole. Over the same period, the turnover slumped in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−12.2%) and also declined in “other manufacturing” (−1.2%). It fell slighly in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (−0.2%) and was virtually stable in the manufacture of transport equipment (−0.1%). It grew in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.9%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (+3.8%).
