- Manufacturing Output Up But Slower
Manufacturing continued to increase in August 2000 as indicated by the value and volume of production increasing by 18.7 percent and 9.3 percent, respectively according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). However, these were slower compared to the year-on-year growth rates posted in July 2000 and August 1999.
Petroleum refineries, food manufacturing and paper and paper products led to the growth in volume and value of production. The improvement in the production of these sectors could be attributed to higher local demand for the products. Expansion in the number of machinery and improvement in machine performane were reported by the paper and paper products sector.
- Net Sales Growths Surpass Production Growths
August 2000 net sales value and volume grew by 28.5 percent and 14.3 percent, respectively. The performance of volume of net sales in August 2000 was a reversal from the 4.8 percent decline in August 1999.
-
After a slowdown last month, volume of net sales perked up relative to the volume of production.
Electrical machinery was the top gainer in terms of value and volume of sales, expanding by 80.6 percent and 51.5 percent, respectively from a year ago. Basic metals, which had the largest decrease in its value of production and one of the losers in terms of volume of production, had also the worst performance in both value and volume of net sales.
- Producer Prices Up
Producer price index (PPI) increased by 8.7 percent to 151.2 in August 2000 from 139.1 in August 1999. The year-on-year increase in August 2000 PPI was slower than the 9.7 percent increase in July 2000 and higher than the 5.7 percent increase in August 1999.
Petroleum products had the highest year-on-year increase in producer price, moving up by 44.6 percent in August 2000. Other sectors which exhibited double digit increases in their producer price index were cement (21.6%), electrical machinery (19.2%) and printing and publishing (16.8%).
Increases in the producer prices could be attributed to higher cost of production inputs particularly of oil and of other imported inputs aggravated by the weakening of peso.
- Average Capacity Utilization at 82.2%
Average capacity utilization rate for August 2000 for manufacturing was estimated at 82.2 percent. This indicated improvements by 3 percentage points over the 79.2 percent rate in July 2000 and by 2.2 percentage points in August 1999. Thirteen out of 16 sectors improved in terms of capacity utilization rate as compared to the same month last year. Electrical machinery had the highest capacity utilization rate of 92.6 percent while textile posted the lowest capacity utilization rate of 71.6 percent.
- Value of Production
In August 2000, the value of production index (VaPI) of 669.0 increased by 18.7 percent from 563.4 in August 1999. Year-on year increases were observed in 14 out of 16 major sectors led by paper and paper products, which increased by 59.5 percent (See Annex 1-A). Other sectors contributing double-digit growths to the value of production were the following: petroleum refineries (58.1%), other manufacturing (24.9%), non-metallic mineral products (24.2%), food manufacturing (19.7%), wearing apparel (19.5%), chemicals (16.3%), beverage (16.1%), electrical machinery (15.2%), furniture & fixtures (15.2%), transport equipment (12.4%), tobacco (12.2%), and wood & wood products (10.3%).
-
On the other hand, losers in terms of value of productions were basic metals (-10.3%), and textile (-3.0%).
- Volume of Production
The volume of production index (VoPI) for total manufacturing increased by 9.3 percent to 172.3 percent from 157.7 of the same month last year. Thirteen out of 16 sectors posted year-on-year increases led by paper & paper products with 63.4 percent increase. (See Annex 1-B). Other sectors which posted double-digit increases were other manufacturing (34.5%), wearing apparel (20.3%), food manufacturing (20.0%), furniture & fixtures (15.2%), chemicals (14.0%), beverage (13.4%), tobacco (13.4%), non-metallic mineral products (13.0%), and wood & wood products (10.8%). The increases in the production output of these sectors could be attributed either to the growing demand for the products from both domestic and export markets, expansion of labor inputs, improvement in the performance of machinery, or abundance of seasonal raw materials.
On the other hand, sectors which exhibited negative performance were textile (-21.4%), basic metals (-8.1%) and electrical machinery (-3.4%). The decline in the production in these sectors could be attributed either to temporary or partial shutdowns in the operation of some establishments due to labor disputes, or decrease in the demand for these products.
- Value of Net Sales
The value of net sales for August 2000 moved up by 28.5 percent compared to the same month last year. Fourteen out of 16 major sectors showed improvements in their value of net sales. The leading sector was electrical machinery exhibiting a 80.6 percent growth over the same month last year (See Annex 2-A). Other sectors that recorded at least 30 percent year-on-year growths were petroleum products (55.6%), transport equipment (43.5%), paper & paper products (42.0%), rubber products (40.6%), furniture & fixtures (40.4%), non-metallic mineral products (36.8%) and textile (33.8%).
-
On the other hand, sectors with lower values of net sales as compared to the same month last year were basic metals (-18.4%), and wood & wood products (-20.5%).
- Volume of Net Sales
The volume of net sales for August 2000 improved by 14.3 percent over the same month last year. Increases were observed in 14 out of 16 sectors led by electrical machinery which grew by 51.5 percent (See Annex 2-B). Other sectors that exhibited double-digit growths were paper & paper products (45.5%), rubber products (41.6%), furniture & fixtures (40.4%), non-metallic mineral products (39.0%), transport equipment (38.6%), miscellaneous manufactures (37.6%), tobacco (25.5%), chemicals (16.3%) and beverages (12.1%).
On the other hand, decreases were observed in the following sectors: wood & wood products (-20.1%), and basic metals (-17.4%).
- Capacity Utilization
The proportion of responding establishments that operated at full capacity (90%-100%) in August 2000 improved from 12.8 percent of the same month last year to 29.7 percent (See Annex 3-A). About 34.3 percent operated below the 70 percent capacity utilization, lower by 11.5 percentage points from 45.8 percent in August 1999.
The August 2000 average capacity utilization rate for manufacturing was estimated at 82.2 percent, higher than the 80.0 percent posted last year (See Annex 3B). Of the 16 sectors, thirteen sectors posted higher capacity utilization rates as compared to a year ago. Leading sector was electrical machinery, which recorded an average capacity utilization rate of 92.6 percent. Other sectors which registered more than 80 percent capacity utilization rates were miscellaneous manufactures (89.7%), furniture & fixture (85.9%), wood & wood products (85.8%), petroleum refineries (85.1%), wearing apparel (83.9%), tobacco (83.3%), paper & paper products (83.2%), non-metallic mineral products (81.5%), chemicals (81.2%) and beverage (80.1%).
