Over a month, output fell back in the manufacture of transport equipment

In September 2023, output fell back in the manufacture of transport equipment (‑4.3% after +3.1%): it fell back in the manufacture of “other transport equipment” (‑3.2% after +8.5%) and decreased again in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (‑5.8% after ‑3.9%). Output was down again in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑1.4% after ‑1.2%). It fell back in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (‑0.8% after +1.0%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (‑0.5% after +0.4%). On the contrary, output recovered over a month in the “other manufacturing” industries (+0.7% after ‑1.0%) and increased again in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (+6.4% after +2.9%).

Over a year, manufacturing output was up by 0.2%

Cumulative output over the third quarter of 2023 was higher than that of the third quarter of 2022 in the manufacturing industry (+0.2%), as well as in the whole industry (+0.7%).

Over this one-year period, output expanded markedly in the manufacture of transport equipment (+7.0%): it increased substantially in the “other transport equipment” (+11.5%) and expanded more modestly in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (+1.3%). It also went up in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+3.4%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+3.2%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (+10.3%). On the contrary, output declined in the “other manufacturing” industries (‑1.4%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑2.2%).

Output declined sharply in some energy-intensive industries compared with the third quarter of 2021

In the context of high electricity and gas prices invoiced to firms given the contracts agreed in 2022 for 2023, energy-intensive industries are particularly exposed to rising production costs, which may affect their output. Output over the third quarter of 2023 remained in sharp decline compared to that of the third quarter of 2021 in the manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys (‑26.4%), the manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard (‑18.7%) and the manufacture of basic chemicals (‑14.3%).
