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: 2025

Status of the figures:
All figures for the expectations and achievements are provisional.

Changes as of June 18, 2026:
The provisional realization figures for 2025 and the provisional expectation figures for 2026 have also been added.

The SBI codes 06 to 09 and B, D, E and F with underlying codes have been added.

When will new figures be published?
The expected investment data of year T have the following publication timetable:
• In the middle of year T:
Expected investments for T (definitive)
Realised investments for T minus 1 (preliminary)
Realised investments for T minus 2 (definitive)
• At the end of year T:
Realised investments for T minus 1 (preliminary)

Description topics

Investments; realized growth
The realized investments are based on the expenditure incurred by companies for the purchase of tangible fixed assets.
