Growth in turnover in first half of 2007
Turnover in Norwegian manufacturing amounted to NOK 404 billion in the period January to June 2007, an increase of 17 per cent from the same period in 2006. The domestic and export markets contributed equally to the positive development.
Strongest growth from capital goods
Turnover of capital goods rose by 23.2 per cent in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year. The major contributors to the strong growth come from the high level of activity in machinery and equipment, oil platforms and modules and transport equipment.
Turnover of intermediate goods rose by 19.8 per cent in the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period last year. Manufacture of basic metals, basic chemicals and manufacture of pulp, paper and paper products showed the strongest increase. High prices in the metal market contributed to the growth in turnover of basic metals.
Consumer goods experienced an increase in turnover of 7.4 per cent in the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006.
Energy goods had a fall in turnover of 13 per cent in the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period last year. Lower production of oil may be behind this decline.
