The balances of opinion on order books have increased again but all those on production have decreased
In December 2024, the balances of opinion associated with the level of order books, both global and foreign, have increased again, mainly due to manufacturing of “other transport equipment”. The balance on global order books has returned to its average and the one associated with foreign order books has gone back sharply above its own.
The balance of opinion on past production has retreated and sits well below its long-term average. The balance of opinion on personal production expectations has retreated more sharply and has moved away from its average. Finally, the balance relating to general production prospects in the industry has decreased for the third consecutive month and has reached its lowest level in nearly ten years excluding the COVID-19 pandemic (October 2014). The balance on economic uncertainty felt by business leaders has strongly rebounded and has returned above its average.
The balance of opinion on the current level of finished-goods inventories has rebounded and has gone back above its long-term average.
The balance of opinion on the past evolution of workforce size is stable, while the one on its expected evolution has sharply retreated. Both remain nonetheless well above their average.
The balance of opinion relating to the expected trend in selling prices over the next three months has slightly decreased and has moved away from its average by a small margin.
The share of companies reporting being limited in their production by workforce shortage has increased anew and has moved away from its average; however, it is still in decline year on year. Besides, the proportion of companies declaring supply-side obstacles only is stable: at 24%, it remains above its long-term average. The share of companies reporting obstacles linked to demand only has decreased anew after having had experienced an upward trend for just over two years: at 24%, it is below its long-period average. The proportion reporting both supply-side and demand obstacles has increased at 14% and is above its average.

In the manufacturing of transport equipment, the business climate has taken off again, while it has decreased in the manufacturing of machinery and equipment goods and in “other manufacturing”
In December 2024, the business climate indicator in the manufacturing of food products and beverages has continued its almost uninterrupted rise, which started a little over a year ago. At 98, it has moved closer to its long-period average. The balance of opinion on global order books has rebounded.
In the manufacturing of machinery and equipment goods, the synthetic indicator of the business climate has slightly retreated and has deviated from its average. The balance of opinion on global order books has strongly withdrawn, to a very degraded level, while the one on foreign order books has increased again. At the sub-sector level, the business climate indicator has decreased in the manufacturing of computer, electronic and optical products, but it has increased in the manufacturing of machinery and equipment, and in the manufacture of electrical equipment.
In the manufacturing of transport equipment, the synthetic indicator of the business climate has sharply increased again and has moved away from its long-period average. The indicator has risen in the sub-sector of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, mainly because of the evolution of past production. In the manufacturing of “other transport equipment”, the business climate indicator has sharply increased and has gone back to levels close from the highest observed since collecting this series (February 1990); in particular, the balances of opinion on order books have strongly increased.
Finally, the business climate indicator in “other manufacturing” has slightly decreased. At 93, the indicator has reached its lowest level since September 2020. The balances of opinion on production and the one on global order books have diminished. At the sub-sector level, the climate has slightly decreased in “basic metals and fabricated metal products”, “chemicals and chemical products” and in “rubber and plastic products”, while it is stable or almost stable in the three other sub-sectors.

Revisions
The business climate in manufacturing industry of November 2024 has not been revised (after rounding).
For further information
For questions with three possible answers, a balance of opinion is the difference between the weighted percentage of “above normal” or “increase” answers and the weighted percentage of “below normal” or “decrease” answers.
The composite indicators of business climate presented here are estimated independently of one another. Thus, that of the whole of manufacturing industry cannot be deduced from the sub-sectoral climates. The same balances of opinion are included into their calculations, but they are not assigned the same weightings. Also, the indicators are scaled to have a long-run average of 100 and a standard deviation of 10.
This survey is part of the Joint Harmonised EU Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys, partly funded by the European Commission.
Additional information (methodology, links, etc.) is available on the “Documentation” tab.
Answers to this survey have been gathered between 27 November 2024 and 16 December 2024; most companies answer during the first two weeks of collection.
Next issue: 23 January 2025 at 8:45 am.
