In June 2021, output increased in all manufacturing activities

In June, output rose in “other manufacturing” (+0.8% after stability). It recovered in the manufacture of transport equipment (+2.3% after –5.5%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+0.8% after −1.7%). It expanded again in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (+8.3% after +5.2%). It was virtually stable in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.1% after +1.2%) and decreased in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (–1.8% after +1.0%).

In June 2021, output remained in sharp decline compared to its February 2020 level in most industrial activities. It plummeted in the manufacture of transport equipment (−28.0%), both in the manufacture of other transport equipment (−27.8%) and in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (−28.3%). Compared to February 2020, output declined more moderately in “other manufacturing” (−3.3%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−4.1%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (−5.7%). It was above its February 2020 level in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.8%) and virtually stable in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+0.1%).

Over a year, manufacturing output bounced back (+24.0%)

Due to a significant “base effect” owing to the first general lockdown from March to May 2020, cumulative output over the second quarter of 2021 bounced back compared to the same quarter of 2020 in the manufacturing industry (+24.0%), as well as in the whole industry (+22.0%).

Over this one-year period, output increased strongly in the manufacture of transport equipment (+40.2%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+28.0%), in “other manufacturing” (+26.0%), in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+12.4%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+8.5%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+10.3%).
