Published:
Seasonally-adjusted figures show that the total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing increased by 0.5 per cent in the period February-April 2019, compared with the previous three-month period. Strong increase in turnover for petroleum-related manufacturing laid the foundation for the growth in this period. On a monthly basis, from March to April 2019, the manufacturing turnover increased by 3 per cent.
The index value for turnover in manufacturing was 157.8 (2005=100) in the period February-April 2019, compared to 157 in the previous three-month period, according to seasonally-adjusted figures.

Three-month change: growth for building of ships, boats and oil platforms
Seasonally-adjusted figures show that the turnover in Norwegian manufacturing increased by 0.5 per cent in the period February to April 2019 compared to the previous three-month period. There was a turnover growth in the export market that led to this increase.
Building of ships, boats and oil platforms, and fabricated metal products contributed the most to the overall growth with an increase of 5.9 and 6.4 per cent respectively. The food and beverage industry contributed positively to the growth as well.
A decline of 5.7 per cent within basic metals contributed to curbing the overall growth. In addition, there was a decline in turnover for machinery and equipment, which also contributed negatively to the development in overall manufacturing turnover.

Monthly change: increased manufacturing turnover in April
Total Norwegian manufacturing turnover increased by 3 per cent from March to April 2019, according to seasonally-adjusted figures.
The largest contribution to the growth came from the industry grouping refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Increased price for refined petroleum products was a major factor to the growth for the industry grouping. Further industries that also contributed positively were:
- Basic metals
- Machinery and equipment
The most negative contribution to the development in manufacturing turnover stemmed from ships, boats and oil platforms.
Monthly change: Decrease in turnover in manufacturing in the euro area in March 2019
Manufacturing in the euro area decreased by 0.2 per cent from February to March 2019, according to seasonally-adjusted figures. Total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing decreased by 0.6 per cent in the same period. In the Nordic countries, the turnover in Denmark and Sweden also went down by 0.2 and 0.5 per cent respectively, according to Eurostat.
