  • Value of Production Index accelerates in September 2018

The Value of Production Index (VaPI) for manufacturing rose by 3.7 percent in September 2018 compared with the negative growth rate of 6.2 percent in the same month of the previous year, based from the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI).

Significant increases in VaPI were attributed to the eight major industry groups that exhibited two-digit growth, namely: textiles (51.3%), petroleum products (50.3%), miscellaneous manufactures (21.5%), machinery except electrical (18.2%), transport equipment (17.7%), electrical machinery (17.4%), paper and paper products (16.7%) and beverages (13.6%). Refer to Tables1-A and 1.

  • Volume of Production Index posts increases

The Volume of Production Index (VoPI) registered a positive growth rate of 4.0 percent in September 2018 compared with the 5.7 percent decrement during the same month of the previous year.

The increase was brought about by the increments noted in 11 major industries, with six  industry groups registering two-digit increases in VoPI as follows: textiles (44.7%), petroleum products (26.7%), machinery except electrical (20.1%), miscellaneous manufactures (16.5%), transport equipment (16.2%) and non-metallic mineral products (13.3%). Refer to Tables 1-B and 2.

  • Value of Net Sales Index sustains a positive growth

The Value of Net Sales Index (VaNSI) depicted an annual increment of 5.6 percent in September 2018 from a decrement of 4.8 percent in the same month of 2017.

Thirteen of the 20 major industries contributed to the growth in VaNSI with significant increases posted by the following: petroleum products (28.1%), wood and wood products (21.9%), paper and paper products (19.2%), miscellaneous manufactures (18.6%) and tobacco products (15.9%). Refer to Tables 2-A and 3.

  • Volume of Net Sales Index, likewise, grows

The Volume of Net Sales Index (VoNSI) in September 2018 recorded an increase of 6.0 percent from a decline of 4.3 percent during the same month of the previous year.

Eleven major industries showed increases in VoNSI, with four major industry groups primarily contributing to the growth, namely: wood and wood products (25.9%), paper and paper products (14.3%), furniture and fixtures (14.1%) and non-metallic mineral products (11.9%). Refer to Tables 2-B and 4.

Average Capacity Utilization Rate in September 2018 is 84.2 percent with petroleum products posting the highest among the industries

Average capacity utilization rate in September 2018 for total manufacturing was recorded at 84.2 percent. Fifty-five percent or 11 of the 20 major industries operated at least 80 percent capacity utilization rates. These are:

  • petroleum products (89.7%)
  • basic metals (89.0%)
  • non-metallic mineral products (86.4%)
  • machinery except electrical (86.0%)
  • chemical products (85.2%)
  • electrical machinery (85.1%)
  • food manufacturing (84.8%)
  • paper and paper products (83.7%)
  • rubber and plastic products (83.3%)
  • wood and wood products (81.5%)
  • textiles (80.3%)

The proportion of establishments that operated at full capacity (90% to 100%) was more than one-fourth of the total number of establishments (26.6%) in September 2018. About 55.1 percent of the total establishments operated at 70 percent to 89 percent capacity while almost one-fifth of the total establishments (18.3%) operated below 70 percent capacity. Refer to Tables B and 6.
