Other information

Change in publication

Starting with this publication (2023-08-18), the industry's capacity utilization will only be presented for the total industrial sector (B+C). The reporting of statistics for separate industries will therefore be discontinued.

Outdated tables

The table " Industrial capacity utilisation, actual utilisation by industrial classification SNI2007 (aggregates). Quarter 1990K1 - 2023K1" is no longer updated as of 2023-08-18. The reason for this is a reduced sample as a result of the increased use of VAT data for industry turnover.

Revisions

When capacity utilisation for a new quarter is published, the percentages for the previous quarter are also revised. Normally, the figures for the previous quarter are revised mainly due to new and revised information.

Next publishing will be

2023-11-21 at 08:00.
