Understanding Industrial Production — a simple guide
What it measures
The year-on-year change in the volume of output from factories, mines and utilities (electricity, gas, water).
How it is calculated
Industrial production index (volume, seasonally adjusted) this month ÷ the same month last year − 1, × 100.
If the index is 155.7 now and was 150.0 a year ago, industrial production grew 3.8%.
Rising output signals strong demand for goods.
Falling output often signals weakening demand or supply problems.
Why it matters for the economy and markets
Industrial production is one of the earliest monthly signals of how the economy is doing and moves closely with the business cycle.
How to read it
It can swing sharply from month to month; look at the trend over several months. Negative readings for several months often accompany a slowdown in manufacturing.
What to look at alongside it
Business confidence, GDP growth and exports.
Key terms
