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 January 2017, output decreased sharply again in the manufacturing industry (−1.0% as in the previous month). It diminished more moderately in the whole industry (−0.3% after −1.1%).
Manufacturing output increased by 0.6% over the past three months
Over the past three months, output grew in the manufacturing industry (+0.6% q-o-q), as well as in the overall industry (+0.9% q-o-q).

It increased sharply in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+3.1%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (+2.3%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+3.0%). Conversely, it went down in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−1.1%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−0.4%).
Over a year, manufacturing output was virtually stable (+0.1%)
Manufacturing output of the last three months was virtually stable compared to the same months of the previous year (+0.1%, y-o-y). It increased in the whole industry (+0.8%, y-o-y).

By contrast, it bounced back in pharmaceuticals (+4.0%).
Output went down sharply in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−2.1% after −0.5%)
Output shrank markedly in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−2.1% after −0.5%), in particular in that of other food products.
Output fell sharply in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−1.6% after −0.1%)
Output fell back sharply in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (−5.1% after +4.4%) and diminished strongly in the manufacture of electrical equipment (−5.5% after −2.5%). By contrast, it bounced back in that of computer, electronic and optical products (+4.1% after −3.2%).
Output dropped further in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−8.1% after −4.4%)
Output dropped sharply in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−8.1%), following a fall already significant in December (−4.4%).
Output was virtually stable in the manufacture of transport equipment (−0.1% after −1.9%)
The sharp fall in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (−3.7% after +0.8%) was offset by a strong rebound in the manufacture of other transport equipment (+3.1% after −4.1%).
Output surged in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply, waste management (+4.4% after −2.2%)
Output picked up markedly in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply due to a cold spell in January.
