Please note

All series are seasonally (SA) and working-day adjusted (WDA).

In the following paragraphs, percentage changes by subsections are presented in descending order of their contribution to the overall percentage change of the industrial production index. The contribution of a subsection takes into account its weight and the magnitude of its evolution.

In May 2022, output picked up in the manufacturing industry (+0.8%, after –0.5%). It was stable in the whole industry (0.0% after –0.3%).

In May 2022, output recovered in the “other manufacturing” industries

In May 2022, output recovered in the “other manufacturing” industries (+1.1% after –1.1%). It increased again in the manufacture of transport equipment (+1.8% after +5.3%): it went up strongly in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (+15.3% after +3.8%), while it fell back sharply in the manufacture of other transport equipment (–6.0% after +6.3%). Output bounced back in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+0.6% after –0.9%) and it increased sharply in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (+5.9% after +0.2%). On the contrary, it folded in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (–4.6% after +0.8%) and declined again in the manufacture of food products and beverages (–0.8% after –1.6%).

Over a year, manufacturing output increased by +1.3%

Cumulative output over the last three months (March to May 2022) was higher than that of the same months of the previous year in the manufacturing industry (+1.3%), but lower in the whole industry (–0.4%), due to the drop in energy production.

Over this one-year period, output decreased markedly in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (–8.6%) and declined moderately in the manufacture of transport equipment (–1.5%): in this latter activity, the increase in the manufacture of other transport equipment (+3.1%) cushioned the sharp fall in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (−7.9%) which was strongly impacted by the shortage in semiconductors and other inputs. Conversely, output was up in the “other manufacturing” industries (+1.5%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.5%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.2%). It climbed sharply in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+29.9%), because of a particularly low level a year ago due to the shutdown of several refineries.

The evolution of the April 2022 manufacturing index is revised downwards

The evolution of the manufacturing index between March and April 2022 is revised downwards by 0.1 points, after rounding, at −0.5% instead of −0.4%. The evolution of the index for the whole industry is also revised downwards by 0.2 points, after rounding, at −0.3% instead of −0.1%.
