Producer Price Index for Manufacturing (2018=100) April 2024
Year-on-Year
The Producer Price Index (PPI) for manufacturing posted a faster annual rate of 7.2 percent in June 2022, compared with the upturn of 7.0 percent in May 2022. In June 2021, the PPI dropped at an annual rate of -1.4 percent. (Table A)
The year-on-year increase in the PPI in June 2022 can be attributed to the annual expansions in the indices of 21 industry divisions led by manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products which registered an annual growth of 22.1 percent.
On the other hand, only the manufacture of wood, bamboo, cane, rattan articles and related products exhibited downturn in its annual growth rate of -3.4 percent. (Tables A-1 and 1)
Month-on-Month
Month-on-month, the PPI for manufacturing posted a faster increment with monthly growth rate of 0.9 percent in June 2022 compared with the 0.5 percent increase in May 2022. In June 2021, the PPI likewise recorded a monthly increase of 0.7 percent. (Table A)
Fourteen (14) industry divisions registered positive monthly growth rates in June 2022 led by manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products; and manufacture of wood, bamboo, cane, rattan articles and related products, both posting a monthly increment of 1.8 percent.
On the contrary, the PPI of five industry divisions exhibited monthly downturns with manufacture of machinery and equipment except electrical and manufacture of basic metals, both posting the highest monthly drop of -0.2 percent. Moreover, the monthly growth rate of three industry divisions were at 0.0 percent. (Tables A-2 and 1)

- Introduction
- Method of Index Computation
Note: A link factor has been used to adjust weight effects to measure the correct price change.
- Computation of Growth Rates
Year-on-year growth rates are computed by dividing the current month’s index by the index of the same month of the previous year less 1.
Month-on-month growth rates are computed by dividing the current month’s index by the previous month’s index less 1.
- Imputation and Revision
Imputation is done for sample establishments that are in operation during the reference period but with no received response during the release date. Results are revised accordingly when the actual data are received, and these revisions are reflected in the next release.
- Industry Coverage
Starting with the January 2013 reference month, PPI utilizes the 2009 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC) to classify sectors and industries. Selected industry groups of the 2009 PSIC were grouped to form the 22 industry divisions of the 2021 PPS. These are presented in the table below.
