In August 2021, output increased in “other manufacturing”

In August 2021, output bounced back in “other manufacturing” (+2.4% after –0.4%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.8% after –0.3%), in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+0.5% after –1.0%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (+3.2% after –7.4%). However it fell back in the manufacture of food products and beverages (–1.6% after +1.7%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (–1.6% after +7.0%).

In August 2021, output remained in decline compared to its February 2020 level in most industrial activities. It plummeted in the manufacture of transport equipment (−23.8%), both in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (−20.1%) and in the manufacture of other transport equipment (−26.3%). It also diminished sharply in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (−9.7%). Output declined more moderately in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−2.6%), in “other manufacturing” (−1.5%) and in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (−0.3%). Output in the manufacture of food products and beverages was above its February 2020 level (+0.9%).

Over a year, manufacturing output expanded (+5.1%)

Cumulative output over the last three months was higher than that of the same months of 2020 in the manufacturing industry (+5.1%), as well as in the whole industry (+4.9%).

Over this one-year period, output increased strongly in all manufacturing activities: in “other manufacturing” (+6.1%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+6.0%), in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+3.8%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+3.4%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (+1.9%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+7.9%).

The evolution of the July 2021 manufacturing index is revised slightly upwards

The evolution of the manufacturing index between June 2021 and July 2021 is revised upwards by 0.1 points (after rounding) at +0.7% instead of +0.6%. The evolution in the whole industry output is also revised upwards by 0.2 points (after rounding) at +0.5% instead of +0.3%.
