Warning

This month, some companies in the manufacture of “other transport equipment (CL2)” were unable to respond in time to the monthly industry survey used to calculate the industrial production index; their responses have been estimated.

As a result, the July index and evolution may be revised next month for this branch and the whole industry.

In July 2024, output fell back over a month in the manufacturing industry (‑0.9% after +0.9% in June 2024) and in the whole industry (‑0.5% after +0.8%).

Over a month, output fell back in almost all industries

In July 2024*, output fell back sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (‑4.9% after +3.1%): in details, it fell back in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailer (‑4.6% after +2.8%) and in the manufacture of “other transport equipment” (‑5.1% after +3.3%). It fell back also in the “other manufacturing industries” (‑0.6% after +0.7%) and more strongly in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (‑9.9% after +12.8%). It decreased again in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑0.3% after ‑0.2%). On the contrary, it accelerated in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+1.8% after +0.3%) and bounced back in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+2.0% after ‑1.1%)

Over a year, manufacturing output decreased by 3.0%

In the manufacturing industry, cumulative output over the last three months (May to July 2024) was lower than that of the same three months of the previous year (‑3.0%), as well as in the whole industry (‑2.3%).

Over this one-year period, output went down sharply in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (‑6.8%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (‑7.1%): in details, it decreased strongly in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailer (‑17.8%) but increased slightly in the manufacture of “other transport equipment” (+0.8%). Output went down sharply also in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (‑5.1%). It decreased more moderately in the “other manufacturing industries” (‑1.5%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑0.9%). On the contrary, it increased in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+1.1 %).

Output in some energy-intensive industries remained low compared to their 2021 level

In the context of high electricity and gas prices invoiced to firms given the contracts agreed in 2022 and 2023 for 2024, energy-intensive industries are particularly exposed to rising production costs, which may affect their output. Output over the last three months (May to July 2024) remained thus down sharply compared to that of the second quarter of 2021 (last quarter before the sharp rise of energy prices), particularly in the manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys (‑29.5%), the manufacture of basic chemicals (‑17.5%), the manufacture of glass and glass products (‑17.3%) and the manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard (‑10.2%).
