Please note

The industrial production index series are subject to an annual review process over a five-year cycle. The aim is to guarantee that the indices remain robust and to adapt them to economic or technical developments, in particular by including the monitoring of new products and by eliminating those whose production has become very low. The results of the fifth wave of renovation, which covers about one fifth of the indices, are included in this publication. The renovated series are backcast to January 2020, which may lead to revisions since that date. The seasonal and working-day adjustment (SA-WDA) models have also been revised over the recent past to improve the quality of the index, and the annual weights have been updated.

At the same time, the methodology of the construction output index has undergone two important changes:

(i) It is now calculated using data from nominative social declarations (DSN). This may cause revisions, especially for the last three years;

(ii) The classification used is now NAF rev.2. Three divisions are available (F41, F42, F43), with values starting in 2005. The series on total construction (raw, SWDA, WDA) begin in 1990 (date unchanged).

In January 2023, output decreased over a month in the manufacturing industry (‑1.8% after +0.2%), as well as in the whole industry (‑1.9% after +1.5%).

Over a month, output folded sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment

In January 2023, output declined again over a month in the “other manufacturing” industries (‑2.0% after ‑0.2%). It folded sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (‑6.7% after +8.0%), particularly in the manufacture of other transport equipment (‑9.5% after +13.5%) and more moderately in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (‑2.6% after +0.9%). Output decreased in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (‑3.0% after +9.7%). It was stable in the manufacture of food products and beverages (after ‑1.2%). On the contrary, output recovered in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.0% after ‑3.0%) and it increased again in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (+3.6% after +8.2%).

Over a year, manufacturing output was up by 2.2%

In the manufacturing industry, output of the last three months (November 2022 to January 2023) was 2.2% higher than that of the same months of the previous year. However, it was stable in the whole industry due to the decline in energy production.

Over this one-year period, output plummeted in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (‑11.0%), mainly because of the drop in electricity production. It declined in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑1.6%). On the contrary, it expanded markedly in the manufacture of transport equipment (+10.9%), particularly in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (+13.1%), less impacted than a year before by supply difficulties for electronic components. Output was up in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+3.9%) and the “other manufacturing” industries (+1.0%). Finally, it went up substantially in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+20.0%), due to the reopening of a refinery that was shut down in the same period a year earlier.

The evolution of the December 2022 manufacturing index is revised downwards

The evolution of the manufacturing index between November and December 2022 is revised downwards by 0.1 points (after rounding), compared to the previous release, at +0.2% instead of +0.3%. The evolution of the index for the whole industry is revised upwards by 0.4 points (after rounding), at +1.5% instead of +1.1% due to an upward revision of electricity production in December.

For more information

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.

The methodology of the industrial production index is explained in « Industrial Production Index with Base Year 2015 », Insee Méthodes no 133 – July 2019.
