Three-month change: fall in refined petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical industries

Seasonally-adjusted figures show that the total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing decreased 2.6 per cent from August to October compared with the previous three-month period.

The grouping refined petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical industries edged down 13 per cent, mainly due to planned maintenance shutdowns among a few leading suppliers in September 2016. With a share of 12 per cent of total manufacturing turnover, this grouping was the biggest contributor in pulling down total manufacturing turnover.

On the other hand, food products and fabricated metal products rose 1.0 and 1.5 per cent respectively, and helped to curb the reduction in total turnover.

Monthly change: decline in manufacturing turnover from September to October

Total Norwegian manufacturing turnover went down 1.9 per cent from September to October 2016, according to seasonally-adjusted figures. The following industries contributed most to the decline:

  • Machinery and equipment
  • Basic chemical products
  • Fabricated metal products
  • Basic metals

A growth in the grouping refined petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and building of ships, boats, and oil platforms helped to dampen the reduction in total turnover.

Monthly change: slight changes in Norway and the euro area in September 2016

Manufacturing turnover in Norway went up 0.3 per cent from August to September 2016 according to seasonally-adjusted figures, while manufacturing turnover in the euro area edged down 0.8 per cent. In the Nordic countries, Sweden showed an increase of 5.7 per cent, while Denmark faced a 3.7 per cent decline, according to Eurostat.

New indicators for petroleum-related supplier industriesOpen and readClose

New indicators for petroleum-related supplier industries are established in StatBank. These indicators are based on the analytical grouping which was presented in the article Strong growth for petroleum-related manufacturing and support activities from 2010 to 2013 (only in Norwegian).

The three groupings that will be published monthly are:

• Petroleum-related manufacturing and support activities

• Petroleum-related manufacturing (only supplier industries covered by section C)

• Manufacturing excluded petroleum-related industries
