  • Value of Production Index decelerates at a slower pace in May 2016

Value of Production Index (VaPI) for total manufacturing reflected a decrease of 4.9 percent in May 2016, showing an improvement from the same month last year’s decline of 8.0 percent, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). Seven of the nine major sectors significantly contributed to the decline led by leather products, registering a two-digit decrease of 83.3 percent. Other major sectors with two-digit decreases were also observed in the following: chemical products (-48.8%), petroleum products (-36.8%), fabricated metal products (-23.7%), textiles (-18.2%), furniture and fixtures (-17.4%), and footwear and wearing apparel (-10.0%). Refer to Tables 1-A and 1.

.
  • Volume of Production also contracts

Volume of Production Index (VoPI) likewise posted a year-on-year drop of 1.2 percent in May 2016. Five major sectors that largely contributed to the reduction in VoPI were leather products (-83.2%), chemical products (-48.8%), petroleum products (-31.3%), fabricated metal products (-24.5%) and textiles (-19.1%). Refer to   Tables 1-B and 2.

 

 

  • Value of Net Sales Index recovers in May 2016

Value of Net Sales Index (VaNSI) climbed to 3.9 percent in May 2016 compared with 9.8 percent drop during the same month last year. This was brought about by the increments in 13 major sectors led by wood and wood products (64.5%). Other major sectors with two-digit growth in VaNSI were leather products (28.8%), basic metals (25.8%), miscellaneous manufactures (19.5%), transport equipment (16.7%), and beverages (13.9%). Refer to Tables 2-A and 3.

 

  • Volume of Net Sales Index likewise picks up

Volume of Net Sales Index (VoNSI) accelerated as it posted an annual growth of 7.8 percent in May 2016. Fourteen major sectors showed significant increases in VoNSI as follows: wood and wood products (66.0%), basic metals (43.7%), machinery except electrical (29.7%), leather products (29.7%), transport equipment (16.7%), rubber and plastic products (13.5%), and miscellaneous manufactures (12.7%). Refer to Tables 2-B and 4.

 

 

  • Average Capacity Utilization Rate in May 2016 is 83.3 percent with basic metals posting the highest among industries

Average capacity utilization rate in May 2016 for total manufacturing was recorded at 83.3 percent. Fifty-five percent or 11 of the 20 major industries operated at 80 percent and above capacity utilization rates. These were:

  • basic metals (88.7%)
  • petroleum products (88.1%)
  • non-metallic mineral products (86.7%)
  • machinery except electrical (85.2%)
  • food manufacturing (84.6%)
  • electrical machinery (84.2%)
  • chemical products (83.3%)
  • paper and paper products (83.3%)
  • rubber and plastic products (82.8%)
  • wood and wood products (80.8%)
  • printing (80.3%)

 

The proportion of establishments that operated at full capacity (90% to 100%) was 24.1 percent in May 2016. About 57.8 percent of the establishments operated at 70 percent to 89 percent capacity while 18.1 percent of the establishments operated below 70 percent capacity. Refer to Table B and 6.
