Over a month, manufacturing output bounced back particularly in the manufacture of transport equipment

In November 2024*, output bounced back sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+3.8% after ‑2.6%): it recovered in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailer (+5.8% after ‑3.4%) and in the manufacture of “other transport equipment” (+2.6% after ‑2.1%). It was virtually stable in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+0.1% after ‑1.0%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+0.1% after +4.7%). It was stable in the “other manufacturing industries” (after ‑0.2% in October). On the contrary, output decreased again in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑0.7 % after ‑0.4 %) and fell back in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (‑0.7 % after +1.5%).

Over a year, manufacturing output declined by 1.4%

Cumulative output over the last three months (September to November 2024) was lower than that of the same three months of the previous year in the manufacturing industry (‑1.4%), as well as in the whole industry (‑0.9%).

Over this one-year period, output went down sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (‑5.3%): it decreased strongly in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailer (‑13.4%) but increased slightly in the manufacture of “other transport equipment” (+0.4%). Output decreased also in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (‑3.1%), the “other manufacturing industries” (‑0.8%) and the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (‑0.9%). On the contrary, it increased in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+1.7 %), and the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.0%).

Output in main 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 (September to November 2024) in these industries 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 (‑26.0%), the manufacture of glass and glass products (‑20.2%), the manufacture of basic chemicals (‑16.6%) and the manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard (‑11.9%).

* All data in this publication are seasonally and working days adjusted (SA-WDA). In the commentary, percentage changes by sub-branches are presented in descending order of their contribution to the overall percentage change of the industrial production index. The contribution of a sub-branch takes into account its weight and the scale of its change.

The methodology used to build and calculate the industrial production index (IPI) is detailed in the “Documentation” tab of this publication.
