In October 2020, output increased in the majority of industrial activities

In October, output bounced back in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+7.9% after −2.7%). It went on increasing in “other manufacturing” (+1.2% after +1.1%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.0% after +3.9%) and it grew up strongly again in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (+13.0% after +19.5%). However output of transport equipment fell back (−2.7% after +9.2%) and output of food products and beverages decreased slightly (−0.3% after a virtual stability).

In October, output yet remained below its February level in most industrial activities. It plummeted in the manufacture of transport equipment (−14.0%): in this activity, output was close to return to its first pre-lockdown level in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi−trailers (−1.4%), whereas it stood at a level sharply below that of February in the manufacture of “other transport equipment” (−23.7%). Compared to February 2020, output also declined in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−6.0%), especially in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (−10.4%). Conversely, output was up compared to February in pharmaceuticals (+8.7%) and in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+5.1%).

Over a year, manufacturing output decreased (−6.4%)

Output of the last three months was lower than that of the same months of 2019 (−6.4%) in the manufacturing industry, as well as in the whole industry (−5.5%).

Over this one-year period, output slumped in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−22.3%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (−17.4%). It diminished sharply in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−6.8%), in “other manufacturing” (−4.6%) and more moderately in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (−0.3%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−1.9%).
