Monthly comparison

In March 2011 compared with February 2011, production of durable consumer goods grew by 0.1% in the euro area and by 0.3% in the EU27. Intermediate goods remained stable in the euro-area and increased by 0.1% in the EU27. Non-durable consumer goods decreased by 0.7% and 0.8% respectively. Production of energy fell by 0.7% in the euro area and by 1.4% in the EU27. Capital goods dropped by 0.9% and 1.1% respectively.

Among the Member States for which data are available, industrial production fell in eleven and rose in nine. The highest decreases were registered in Lithuania (-4.6%), Denmark (-1.7%), Finland (-1.1%), Ireland and Spain (both -1.0%), and the largest increases in Estonia (+2.8%), Slovenia (+2.2%), Luxembourg (+1.9%) and Latvia (+1.4%).

Annual comparison

In March 2011 compared with March 2010, production of capital goods grew by 10.5% in the euro area and by 10.0% in the EU27. Intermediate goods increased by 7.5% in both zones. Durable consumer goods rose by 2.4% in the euro area and by 1.3% in the EU27. Non-durable consumer goods fell by 0.6% in both zones. Production of energy declined by 2.2% in the euro area and by 3.2% in the EU27.

Among the Member States for which data are available, industrial production rose in fourteen and fell in six. The highest increases were registered in Estonia (+32.7%), Lithuania (+14.5%), Sweden (+13.7%) and Germany (+10.9%), and the largest decreases in Greece (-7.5%), Ireland (-5.4%) and Portugal (-2.4%).

  • 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 (EA17) includes Belgium, Germany, Estonia, 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 with those issued in News Release 54/2011 of 13 April 2011. The monthly growth rates for February 2011 have been revised from +0.4% to +0.6% in the euro area and from +0.2% to +0.4% in the EU27. The annual growth rates have been revised from +7.3% to +7.7% in the euro area and from +7.0% to +7.5% in the EU27.
