Main results

  • The annual rate of the Industrial Production Index was -0.3% in the series adjusted for seasonal and calendar effects, and 2.8% in the original series.
  • The monthly variation in the Industrial Production Index was -2.5% if seasonal and calendar effects are removed.

Data revisions and updates

INE has today updated the IPI data for the last two months. In the case of the series adjusted, the series have been reviewed from the beginning, following the INE standard. All the results of this operation are available at INEbase.

In accordance with the Commission's Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/137 the INE has begun to work on incorporating the new National Classification of Economic Activities CNAE-2025 in all its statistical operations.

In the case of the IPI, the first publication of results with CNAE-2025 will take place in March 2028.

Methodological note

The Industrial Production Index (IPI) is a short-term indicator that measures the monthly evolution of the productive activity of the industrial branches, excluding construction, contained in the National Classification of Economic Activities 2009 (CNAE-2009). It therefore investigates the activities included in sections B, C, D and division 36: Water collection, treatment and supply, from section E of the CNAE-2009.

The IPI measures the joint evolution of quantity and quality, eliminating the influence of prices.

Type of survey:
monthly continuous survey.
Base year:
2021.
Population scope:
industrial establishments whose main activity is included in sections B, C, D and division 36 of the CNAE-2009.
Geographical scope:
the entire national territory.
Sample size:
11,500 industrial establishments and more than 1,100 products.
Collection method:
internet (IRIA system), e-mail, fax, telephone or postal mail.

More information is available in the methodology and in the standardised methodological report.

INE statistics are produced in accordance with the Code of Good Practice for European Statistics. More information in Quality at INE and the Code of Best Practices.
