Monthly comparison

In October 2010 compared with September 2010, production of capital goods grew by 1.8% in the euro area and by 0.9% in the EU27. Non-durable consumer goods rose by 0.4% and 0.3% respectively. Production of energy increased by 0.4% in the euro area, but fell by 0.2% in the EU27. Intermediate goods gained 0.2% in both zones. Durable consumer goods decreased by 0.1% in the euro area and remained stable in the EU27.

Among the Member States for which data are available, industrial production rose in ten, fell in eleven and remained unchanged in Romania and the United Kingdom. The highest increases were registered in Lithuania (+9.7%), Luxembourg (+6.4%), Estonia (+4.9%) and Greece (+3.6%), and the largest decreases in Ireland
(-4.8%), Denmark (-2.8%), Malta (-2.5%) and Portugal (-2.4%).

Annual comparison

In October 2010 compared with October 2009, production of capital goods grew by 12.1% in the euro area and by 11.5% in the EU27. Intermediate goods increased by 7.3% and 8.0% respectively. Non-durable consumer goods rose by 3.6% in the euro area and by 3.9% in the EU27. Durable consumer goods gained 1.9% and 2.7% respectively. Production of energy grew by 0.3% in the euro area, but fell by 0.4% in the EU27.

Among the Member States for which data are available, industrial production rose in nineteen and fell in four. The highest increases were registered in Estonia (+37.3%), Latvia (+21.1%), Lithuania (+17.1%), Slovakia (+13.3%), Germany (+12.1%) Finland (+11.8%) and Poland (+10.4%). The decreases were recorded in Malta (-5.2%), Greece (-4.6%), Portugal (-2.8%) and Spain (-1.9%).

  • Total industry excluding construction. According to the Council Regulation 1165/98 Eurostat publishes national seasonally adjusted data if available. For the other Member States (Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Malta and Luxembourg) Eurostat performs the adjustment. This means that different methodologies are used to make the seasonal adjustment of the national series.

The seasonally adjusted euro area and EU series are calculated by aggregating the working day adjusted series from individual Member States and performing an adjustment for seasonal effects on these series. Therefore the seasonally adjusted figures for total industry (excluding construction) is based directly on the working day adjusted series coming from the Member States and not on an aggregation of the seasonally adjusted indices from the Member States. The euro area and EU seasonally adjusted growth rates might differ from the weighted growth rates of the individual Member States (see Methodology of the industrial production index). This procedure also implies that the aggregation of the overall figures is not based on the published details (intermediate, capital, durable, non-durable goods, energy).

Missing observations from Member States are estimated for the calculation of the euro area and the EU aggregates.

  • The euro area (EA16) includes Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland.

The EU27 includes Belgium (BE), Bulgaria (BG), the Czech Republic (CZ), Denmark (DK), Germany (DE), Estonia (EE), Ireland (IE), Greece (EL), Spain (ES), France (FR), Italy (IT), Cyprus (CY), Latvia (LV), Lithuania (LT), Luxembourg (LU), Hungary (HU), Malta (MT), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (AT), Poland (PL), Portugal (PT), Romania (RO), Slovenia (SI), Slovakia (SK), Finland (FI), Sweden (SE) and the United Kingdom (UK).

  • Data of previous months have been revised compared to those issued in the News Release 168/2010 of 12 November 2010. The monthly growth rates for September 2010 have been revised from -0.9% to -0.7% in the euro area and from
    -0.5% to -0.3% in the EU27. The annual growth rates have been revised from +5.2% to +5.4% in the euro area and from +5.8% to +6.0% in the EU27
