Table explanation


This table covers the investment expectations and realisations of enterprises in the Dutch manufacturing industry. Every February Statistics Netherlands asks enterprises in this sector about their investment expectations for the current calendar year and the realisations for the previous year. This table is compiled with cofinancing of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy.

Data available from: 2013
The data collected for publication in May 2020 is partial (approximately three quarters) from before March 12.
March 12 is the turning point for the measures for the COVID-19 pandemic. In view of the impact of this, the data from before 12 March have been corrected, based on additional requests and the response after 12 March.

Status of the figures:
All figures for the expectations for 2013 to 2023 are final. The figures for achievements from 2013 to 2023 are final and those for 2024 and 2025 are provisional.

Changes as of June 12, 2025:
The 2023 figures are now final. The provisional realization figures for 2024 and the provisional expectation figures for 2025 have also been added.

Changes as of July 5, 2024:
The description of SIC 2008 coding was accidentally published in Dutch, this has been corrected in this version.

Changes as of June 5, 2024:
