Increase in industrial turnover
Seasonally-adjusted figures showed that the turnover in Norwegian manufacturing increased by 1.7 per cent from August to October 2011 compared to the previous three-month period.
Among industries with increased turnover were machinery and equipment, with an 11.6 per cent increase. Repair, installation of machinery went up by 1.8 per cent. Both industries experienced higher production volumes in this period. See the index of production . In addition, food products and beverages went up by 4.3 per cent.
Conversely, industries with reduced turnover were basic metals and basic chemicals, dropping by 3.5 and 8.7 per cent, respectively. Falling demand within their respective markets is the main reason behind this drop.
Increase in turnover from September to October
Seasonally-adjusted figures showed an increase in Norwegian manufacturing turnover by 2.5 per cent from September to October this year. Important contributors to this result were repair, installation of machinery, up 35.2 per cent, followed by refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals with an increase of 9.6 per cent. Deliveries within building of ships, boats and oil platforms ensured a rise in turnover by 5.2 per cent for this last industrial grouping.
Increase from October 2010 to October 2011
Unadjusted figures showed an increase of 1.3 per cent in total manufacturing turnover in October 2011 compared to October 2010. This is partly due to an increased turnover within refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals by 13.1 per cent. This industry showed a significant boost in turnover within the export market. Computer and electrical equipment went also up, by 6.2 per cent.
Among industries with reduced turnover was building of ships, boats and oil platforms, with a drop of 22.3 per cent compared with October 2010.

Interpretation of seasonally-adjusted figuresIn order to facilitate the interpretation of the short-term development, statistics on turnover publishes three-month moving averages of the seasonally-adjusted figures. We normally compare the latest non-overlapping three-month periods (for instance May to July compared with August to October). |
The relationship between production and turnoverThe development in the turnover can be related to changes in both volume and prices in the different industries. Production to stocks and sales from stocks can also happen. Reporting during large deliveries of capital goods can contribute to differences in the development in the index of production and the statistics on turnover. Tables |

The variation in manufacturing turnover can be related to changes in volume and price indices in different industries and also production to stocks and sales from stocks.
