Industry; production and sales, changes and index, 2015=100

This table presents information about developments in production and turnover in industry (excl. construction), SIC 2008 sections B - E. The data can be divided by a number of branches according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 2008 (SIC 2008). Developments are presented as percentage changes compared to a previous period and by means of indices. In this table, the base year is updated to 2015, in previous publications the base year was 2010.

Developments in turnover and volume are published in two formats. Firstly, in the form of year-on-year changes relative to the same period in the preceding year. These figures are shown both unadjusted and adjusted for calendar effects. The second format pertains to period-on-period changes, for example quarter-on-quarter. Period-on-period changes are calculated by applying seasonal adjustment.

When will new figures be published? As a rule, monthly statistics are published six to eight weeks after the end of the reporting month. Quarterly statistics are published on the last working day of the second month after the quarter. After completing the base year change production figures will be included in this table. For production figures see link in section 3.

Status of the figures: The figures of a calendar year will become definite no later than five months after the end of that calendar year. Until then, the figures in this table will be “provisional” and can still be adjusted as a result of delayed response. Currently, the monthly turnover figures of 2018 are definitive. Once definitive figures have been published, Statistics Netherlands will only revise the results if significant adjustments and/or corrections are necessary.
