In July 2016, the turnover fell again in the manufacturing industry (−0.7%) Turnover in industry and construction - July 2016

In June 2016, the turnover fell again in the manufacturing industry (-0.7%) but it was more moderatly than in June (-4.4%). The exports declined slightly (-0.3%) after a fall in June as a backlash after the major ship delivery occurred in May.

Every index in this issue is in value (tax excluded), seasonally and working day adjusted. The commentary shows variations of subsections by decreasing contribution. The contribution of a subsection depends on the extent of the change and on its weight.

In June 2016, the turnover fell again in the manufacturing industry (−0.7%) but it was more moderatly than in June (−4.4%). The exports declined slightly (−0.3%) after a fall in June as a backlash after the major ship delivery occurred in May.

In the industry as a whole, the turnover weakened only a little (−0.2 %) thanks to the rebound in the mining and quarrying, water supply, waste management sector (+2.3 %, after −1.4 %).

Rise over the last three months (+0.8%)

Over the last three months, the turnover advanced in the manufacturing industry (+0.8%) and in the industry as a whole (+0,7 %). This rise was only due to the manufacture of transport equipment (+9.8%). Over this period, the turnover fell in all the other sectors: “other manufacturing” (−1.3%), the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−0.9%), the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−1.7%) and the manufacture of food products and beverages (−0.2%).

Decline compared to the previous year (−1.0%)

In the manufacturing industry, the turnover declined over the last three months, compared to the same three months of the previous year (−1.0%). It also shrank in the industry as a whole (−1.2%).

Over this period, the turnover tumbled in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−21.3%). It declined in “other manufacturing” (−1.6%), the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−2.8%) and the manufacture of food products and beverages (−0.8%). However, it surged in the manufacture of transport equipment (+7.5%)

New decline in “other manufacturing” (−1.0%)

The turnover in “other manufacturing” shrank again in July (−1.0%, after −0.9% in June). It decreased mainly in the manufacture of basic metals and fabricated metal products (−1.6%) and the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations (−3.9%). Conversely, it recovered in the manufacture of chemicals and chemical products (+1.4%, after −1.8%), the only sector in “other manufacturing” whose turnover advanced in July.

Further fall in food products and beverages (−0.5%)

In July, the turnover decreased slightly again in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−0.5% after −0.4% in June).

New decrease in machinery and equipment goods (−0.9%)

The turnover in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods dropped again in July (−0.9%, after −1.2%). It fell in the manufacture of electrical equipment, (−2.9%) and the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (−1.0%). Conversely, it picked up in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (+0.2%, after −1.5%).

Near stability in transport equipment (−0.1%)

The turnover in the manufacture of transport equipment was virtually stable in July (−0.1%) after two exceptionnal months: a huge increase in May (+27.0%) due to a major ship delivery, followed by a backlash in June (−18.9%). It fell again in the manufacture of motor vehicles (−0.6%, after −1.8%) while it rebounded slightly in the manufacture of other transport equipment (+0.3%).

Virtual stability in coke and refined petroleum products (−0.1%)

In July, the turnover was pratically stable in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−0.1%) after three consecutive months of decline (−0.8% on average per month over April, May and June).
