  • Value of Production Index posts two-digit increments inJanuary 2018

The Value of Production Index (VaPI) for manufacturing rose to 20.4 percent in January 2018 from 13.7 percent growth in the same month of the previous year, based on the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). Twelve major sectors mainly influenced the growth led by printing, with three-digit growth of117.4 percent. The  other 11 major sectors that contributed to the significant performance of VaPI were machinery except electrical (37.4%), basic metals (35.7%), petroleum products (32.7%), beverages (31.2%), chemical products (30.1%), non-metallic mineral products (17.8%), electrical machinery (17.0%),leather products (16.3%), paper and paper products (14.1%) miscellaneous manufactures (13.0%) and food manufacturing (12.6%).Refer to Tables1-A and 1.

  • Volume of Production Index registers substantial growth

The Volume of Production Index (VoPI), likewise recorded a year-on-year growth of 21.9 percent in January 2018.The growth was supported by the two-digit annual expansions in 13 major sectors, namely: printing (114.5%), leather products (39.2%), petroleum products (37.0%), machinery except electrical (36.8%), basic metals (35.5%), chemical products (32.3%), fabricated metal products (32.2%), beverages (31.8%), non-metallic mineral products (17.5%), food manufacturing (15.2%), paper and paper products (14.7%), electrical machinery (13.9%) and miscellaneous manufactures (12.3%).Refer to Tables 1-B and 2.

  • Value of Net Sales Index grows at a slower rate

The Value of Net Sales Index (VaNSI) gained at a slower rate of 15.3 percent in January 2018 compared with 20.8 percent in January 2017. Fourteen (14) of the 20 major sectors contributed to the growth in VaNSI with significant increments posted by the following: chemical products (53.9%), tobacco products (37.0%), leather products (35.9%), paper and paper products (23.3%), printing (21.8%), basic metals (20.6%), electrical machinery (20.1%), beverages (18.6%), machinery except electrical (13.4%) and petroleum products (10.9%). Refer toTables 2-A and 3.

  • Volume of Net Sales Index expands

The Volume of Net Sales Index (VoNSI) went up by17.5 percent in January 2018. This was mainly influenced by the increments noted in 15 major sectors, with11 major sectors that registered two-digit increases in VoNSI as follows: chemical products (57.5%), leather products (54.7%), tobacco products (28.4%), paper and paper products (24.1%), printing (23.6%), basic metals (19.6%), electrical machinery (16.6%), beverages (16.5%), fabricated metal products (13.4%), transport equipment (10.5%) and machinery except electrical (10.4%).Refer to Tables 2-B and 4.

Average Capacity Utilization Rate in January 2018 is 84.1 percent with petroleum productsposting the highest among industries

Average capacity utilization rate in January 2018 for total manufacturing was recorded at  84.1 percent. Fifty-five percent or 11 of the 20 major industries operated at 80 percent and above capacity utilization rates. These are:

  • petroleum products (89.5%)
  • basic metals (88.9%)
  • non-metallic mineral products (86.5%)
  • machinery except electrical (85.9%)
  • food manufacturing (85.3%)
  • electrical machinery (84.8%)
  • chemical products (84.1%)
  • paper and paper products (83.5%)
  • rubber and plastic products (82.9%)
  • wood and wood products (81.4%)
  • printing (81.1%)

The proportion of establishments that operated at full capacity (90% to 100%) was recordedat more than one-fourth of the total number of establishments (27.9%) in January 2018. About53.7 percent of the total establishments operated at 70 percent to 89 percent capacity while almost one-fifth of the total establishments (18.4%) operated below 70 percent capacity. Refer to Table B and 6.
