Table explanation


This table has been discontinued due to a shift in the base year.

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.

Data available from January 2005 up and until December 2023.

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 2022 are definitive. Once definitive figures have been published, Statistics Netherlands will only revise the results if significant adjustments and/or corrections are necessary. Since this table has been discontinued, the data will not be finalized.

Changes as of 14 February 2024:
The figures of December 2023 have been added to the table and those of September up to and including November 2023 have been adjusted and this table has been discontinued.

Changes as of 9 June 2023:
The figures of April 2023 have been added to the table and those of January 2022 up to and including March 2023 have been adjusted. This month the annual update of the seasonal-adjustment models has taken place. All figures of 2022 have been revised for the final time and set to ''definitive'' status.

Changes as of 10 June 2021:
The figures of April 2021 have been added to the table. The figures of January 2020 up to and including March 2021 have been adjusted. This month the annual update of the seasonal-adjustment models has taken place. Because of additional changes that have been made due to Covid-19 the adjustments are a bit larger than in other years. All figures of 2020 have been revised for the final time and set to ''definitive'' status.

The underlying coding of the following classifications used in this table has been adjusted:
- Manufacture of capital goods
- Manufacture of consumer goods
- Manufacture of durable consumer goods
- Manufacture of intermediate goods
- Manufacture of non-durable consumergoods

It is now in line with the standard encoding defined by CBS.
The structure and data of the table have not been adjusted.

When will new figures be published?
No longer applicable.

This table is succeeded by "Industry; production and sales, changes and index, 2021=100". See Section 3.

Description topics

Index
Production
Production by industry is the volume change of gross value added at basic prices. Value added is defined as total production value minus total intermediate consumption value.
Production
Production, within the scope of the production index, must be viewed as the volume development of the gross value added at basic prices, not adjusted for working and holidays.
Seasonally adjusted production
The average daily production is corrected for seasonal effects, i.e. the effects of annual patterns which are normal for the time of year are removed from the figures.
This results in the seasonally adjusted average day production.

The average daily production is calculated using a regression method.
An adjustment is being made for changes in production because of:
- national holidays
- bridge days
- working day effects
- leap year effects
- shifting holiday patterns

This results in the average daily production.
Year-on-year-change
The development of the production in terms of percentage of a certain period (month, quarter, year) compared with the same period of the previous year.
Production
Production by industry is the volume change of gross value added at basic prices. Value added is defined as total production value minus total intermediate consumption value.
Average daily production
The average daily production is calculated using a regression method.
An adjustment is being made for changes in production because of:
- national holidays
- working day effects
- leap year effects
- shifting holiday patterns

This results in the average daily production.
Turnover
Turnover refers to the invoice value (excl. VAT) of sales to third parties of goods and services processed within the company.
Total turnover
Total turnover covers domestic and international sales.
