2016- n° 291In September 2016, manufacturing output fell back (–1.1%) Industrial production index - September 2016
In September 2016, output fell back in the manufacturing industry (−1.1% after +2.4% in August), as well as in the whole industry (−1.1% after +2.3%).
Please note: all the series are seasonally (SA) and working-day adjusted (WDA).
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 September 2016, output fell back in the manufacturing industry (−1.1% after +2.4% in August), as well as in the whole industry (−1.1% after +2.3%).
Manufacturing output grew slightly over the third quarter (+0.2%)
Over the third quarter of 2016, output grew slightly in the manufacturing industry (+0.2%) compared to the previous quarter. It was virtually stable in the overall industry (−0.1% q-o-q), due to a sharp fall in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply (−2.0%).
Output grew in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.7%) and bounced back strongly in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+14.9%). It was virtually stable in “other manufacturing” (+0.1%) and increased slightly in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+0.3%). Conversely, it fell sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (−2.3%).
Over a year, manufacturing output was stable
Manufacturing output of the third quarter of 2016 was stable compared to the third quarter of 2015, while overall industrial output edged down (−0.3% y-o-y).
Over a year, output decreased sharply in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply (−2.0%) and, to a lesser extent, in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−1.3%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−0.8%). In contrast, it increased sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+1.9%). It was virtually stable in “other manufacturing” (+0.1%). Finally, it soared in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+5.0%).
