Warning :

In the following paragraphs, percentage changes by subsections are presented in descending order of their contribution to the overall percentage change of the industrial production index. The contribution of a subsection takes into account its weight and the magnitude of its evolution.

All data are corrected for seasonal and working day effects (SA-WDA).

In May 2021, turnover decreased again in the manufacturing industry (−3.7% after −3.9%) as in industry as a whole (−1.8% after −3.6%).

Export turnover again fell back  in May (−8.3% after −2.9%).

Compared to February 2020 (last month before the first lockdown), turnover decreased sharply in the manufacturing industry (−7.2%) and more moderatly in the whole industry (−2.8%).

In May, turnover in the manufacturing industry declined especially in the manufacture of transport equipment

In May, turnover decreased sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (−22.1% after +17.5%), due to a further fall in the “other transport equipment“ (−31.1% after −28.9%) and in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (−12.5% after −0.3%). The turnover decreased more moderatly in “other manufacturing” (−1.1% after +0.1%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−0.5% after −1.7%) and in the manufacture of coke refined petroleum products (−0.7% after −5.5%). The turnover increased in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.7% after −2.2%).

Compared to February 2020, turnover collapsed in the manufacture of transport equipment (−40.7%), and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−18.2%). Conversely, turnover increased moderatly in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+0.5%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.8%) and in “other manufacturing” (+2.0%). Compared to February 2020, turnover increased sharply in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (+17.8%).

Turnover in the manufacturing industry increased very strongly over one year (+30.9%)

With a base effect due to the first lockdown in spring 2020, the industry turnover over the last three months went up very strongly compared to that of the same three months of the previous year (+30.9% for the manufacturing industry, +29.4% for the whole industry). The increase was sharp in all sectors : in “other manufacturing” (+31.9%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (+55.0%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+35.5%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+12.8%), in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+53.2%) and in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (+23.8%).

Revisions

The percentage change of the turnover index in April 2021 in the manufacturing industry is left unchanged compared to the previous publication, after rounding (−3.9%); it has been revised upwards at −3.6% instead of −3.8% in industry as a whole, compared to the previous publication.
