Three-month change: notable fall for machinery and equipment
Despite the slight change in total turnover, some of the industries showed significant increases or decreases. Seasonally-adjusted figures showed that machinery and equipment had a strong decrease of 23 per cent from November 2016 to January 2017, compared to the previous three-month period.

On the contrary, the grouping refined petroleum products, and chemical and pharmaceutical products showed a prominent increase of 20 per cent, mainly as a result of a significant increase in January 2017. Moreover, a rise in the following industries helped to offset the downtrend in the total turnover in this period:
- Basic metals
- Repair, installation of machinery
- Rubber, plastic and mineral products

Total Norwegian manufacturing turnover went up 3.4 per cent from December 2016 to January 2017, according to seasonally-adjusted figures.
The largest increase was for the grouping refined petroleum products, and chemical and pharmaceutical products industry, growing by 45 per cent, as a result of increases in both production volume and prices of refined petroleum products.
In the opposite direction, computer and electrical equipment and rubber, plastic and mineral products had a declining turnover of 6.2 and 4.0 per cent respectively in the same period.
