Industry; production and sales, changes and index, 2021=100

Dataset is not available.


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 2021, in previous publications the base year was 2015.

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

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.

Changes as of 08 May 2024:
The figures for March 2024 are added. The figures of December 2023 up to and until February 2024 could have been adjusted.

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.

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.
Calender adjusted production
Each period in a series contains a different number of working or shopping days, leap days, and holidays. By adjusting for these composition differences, outcomes become more comparable over time. A different arrangement of calendar days does not affect year-on-year developments. As a result, the trend in developments becomes purer.
Seasonally adjusted production
By adjusting the series for annually recurring patterns, the outcomes become more comparable to the previous months. As a result, observable seasonal effects do not impact month-on-month developments, allowing shifts in revenue growth or decline to be detected more quickly than if no seasonal adjustment were applied.
The outcomes are corrected for both seasonal effects and calendar effects, such as working days, shopping days, leap days, and holidays
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.

Change on previous period
The development of the production in terms of percentage of a certain period (month, quarter, year) compared with the previous period (month, quarter, year).
Change seasonally adjusted production
The development of the production in terms of percentage of a certain period (month, quarter, year) compared with the previous period (month, quarter, year).

The calender adjusted 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 production.
