The data published today are final. All results are available on INEBase.
The Annual Industrial Products Survey is an annual structural survey aimed at all establishments dedicated to the industrial sector (Sections B and C of the CNAE 2009). This operation provides information on the production of a set of industrial products (approximately 4,000) that account for the entire Spanish industrial sector.
The survey targets a sample of 39,247 industrial establishments. It allows us to obtain detailed national results for the different products that make up the survey, as well as aggregated results by autonomous communities and cities and divisions of activity.
